Replicator Mini - Build plate support tougher version

thingiverse

This is not my idea idea, I just adapted it to my liking and... Well, share with people like he was kind enough to do so before me. Remix of: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:615358 By: muzz64 The original design was good, a bit wide in the locking part but good. Until I found that on my machine the support would eventually slip from side to side and doesn't support the very end of the build plate. If I was going to put a support underneath, I wanted it as tough as I can while keeping it cost efficient, easy to print and lightweight. It's wider, longer and thicker (you already hear that from someone else didn't you...). Being almost the same size in lengh (minus 0.75mm) as the under part of the stock build plate, it will limit the movement from side to side (X axis). As the width is also close to the build plate (minus 2 to 3 mm) it will support the whole plate (Z axis). To prevent the support from moving around, there's 3 pin that fit right in the printer's build plate support, put it, push a bit and it's locked! So it's pretty much the biggest support plate you can do for the Replicator Mini. Honeycomb pattern underneath is here for strengh while maintaining the weight low. Some model are not there, you can find more here: https://www.cgtrader.com/M600 Instructions Build space required: 110x110mm The print you see is 200 microns with 50% infill. It's 46.23gr and took me a little less than 4 hours. You can go with thicker layer (300) and lighter infill, it won't affect much in my opinion. Don't go 10% ;)
