TEVO Tornado 12" Mirror Holder

prusaprinters

<p>I downloaded all of the Mirror Holders I could find here on Thingiverse for a TEVO Tornado, but none of them fit the 12" Mirror Glass that I purchased at my local home improvement store (HomeDepot - $10 for 6, 12" x 12" x 3/16").</p> <p>The 12" x 12" x 3/16" Mirror Glass dimensions convert to 304.8mm x 304.8mm x 3.5mm.</p> <p>All of the files I found were for 300mm x 300mm x 4mm glass.</p> <p>So with a little help from Tinkercad, I resized the recesses to 305mm x 305mm (I figured that printer inaccuracy wouldn't notice the difference 304.8mm to 305mm) and I also took .5mm off the top to match the height of my mirror glass.</p> <p>It worked out great !!!</p> <p>With the 4-corners installed, the 12" MIrror Glass fit perfectly (see photo).</p> <p>After manually leveling the bed, I ran the G29 command to check the "Autoleveling" (I have a BLTouch installed) and where previously the bed had about a 4-micron swing, it now has a .5-micron swing.</p> <p>Glass, mirror glass, mirrors are so much flatter than any print surface I have ever used.</p> <hr/> <p>To those who might be wondering, I recently switch to a TEVO Tornado after my Printrbot Simple Metal died (controller board). Printrbot closed their doors Oct 18, 2018. I plan on using the Printrbot parts to build a HyperCube.</p> <p>And, yes, one of the first things I did was remove the BuildTak surface from my Tornado.</p> <p>Remixed from <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2796469">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2796469</a></p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>TEVO</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Tornado</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.25mm</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>50%</p></div> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> Inland PLA or PETG Natural</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>You can use either PLA or PETG for these parts, as the corners of the bed do not get hot.</p></div> </p></p></p> Category: 3D Printing
