WORK IN PROGRESS - FILE NOT USABLE
Since I got my Ender 3 Pro, I have been thinking about having a body kit that would improve the whole aesthetics of the printer (currently inside a Lack enclosure). As you may see on the renders and the design, the 4040 side channels will be covered by the body, with space for the 4020 Z-Axis.
One of the key points for me was to move the control panel to the front of the printer. I believe that the solution I found is quite good for daily usage and suitable for almost everyone. On the Ender 3 Pro, the display will sit just in front of the Y-axis, allowing the bed to move freely. I may also do a version for the Ender 3 4020 Y-Axis once this is finished.
The model that I am sharing now is a work in progress on the final stages of design (or at least I hope so, given the number of changes that I already went through). If you are interested, you can comment on things that I may have missed, propose ideas or changes.
I may add more info along these notes whenever I recall anything else.
Follow for more updates.
Note: The STL file included is not finished and is not to be used.
(UPDATED - 2023.05.11)
- Added render with the Ender 3 for a general idea of the final aspect.
- Added hexagons design to the covers of the 4040s on the sides
- Added customizable panel on the side of the display box for placement of USB and SD card reader. (see renders)
TO-DO
These are the thing pending (not necessarily in order of priorities)
- Break body into printable parts (I am trying to reduce the use of supports, and also improve the parts to get a decent printing time)
- Screws position and threading. Unions between pieces
- Final top layers decoration
- Design back boxes to cover the whole area beneath the bed (the space left on the back of the front pieces
- Fixing accessories design
- Recheck display/control panel design and fittings
- Add customizable accessories panel (USB/SD Card plugs in the side of the display box (?!)). Maybe also on the side hexagons (need to check cable routing)
