Prusa i3 Simple Arduino Case RAMPS 1.4

prusaprinters

<p>This is a simple RAMPS 1.4 case drawn in Freecad.<br/> The top locates a 40mm Fan.<br/> The bottom is just open, so air and wires are free to exit.<br/> The primary problem I was trying to solve was the RAMPS fan causing a draft across the printing bed. This does the job nicely and it protects against knocks/dust etc.<br/> Two parts, the part which screws down with the RAMPS1.4 board to the Prusa i3. The otherpart is the simple case which hooks onto the 1st part.</p> <p><strong>**</strong>UPDATE MK2<strong>**</strong><br/> After printing new plastic parts from:<br/> <a href="https://github.com/josefprusa/Prusa3">https://github.com/josefprusa/Prusa3</a><br/> The clearance between my x motor and the Arduino was not sufficient so the motor would crunch into the case with every Z axis move.<br/> So I printed a new ArduinoMountPlate (ArduinoMountMK2.stl), this ensures that there is enough clearance between the x motor and the case. The original ArduinoCase is compatible.<br/> I have also done away with the little legs for attaching the two parts together, these were too thin and broke, I now use the power of elastic bands! works great.</p> <p>UPDATED the ArduinoCaseMK2.<br/> I got rid of its weak little legs too.</p> Category: 3D Printer Accessories
