Panel Lift Handle for Voron Trident Inverted Electronics

This is a handle that you can attach to the inside bottom panel of your Voron Trident when you do the Inverted Electronics mod.  

Installation

Use VHB tape to stick this to your panel.

It's short enough that it will sit below the bed plate, but make sure that you sit it far enough forward that it will clear the bed support bar, or else you'll crash your bed.  The front of the handle should be around the front edge of your acrylic panel.

Printing

Print with the hexagon face on the print bed.  This is the display face and if you're doing a logo, should be where the logo goes.  The overhand should be calibrated to not require any supports.

The 3mf file has the voron logo already set up on it, but if you import the STEP file, you can use your own text or svg logo instead.

Modification

Designed in OnShape.  You can export or modify the design here.

Multi-Color

AMS

Obvs the easy button is to use a MMU such as Bambu AMS, Prusa MMU, or Klipper's various solutions such as Boxturtle, ERCF, or a toolchanger like Stealth Changer.

Manual

If you don't have a MMU or toolchanger available, then there's a technique mentioned in the Voron docs for splitting the print into two separate prints on the same plate in your slicer.  Below is my take on this technique but the docs approach it slightly differently and with less requirements.  The trick requires that you 

• have your print_start macro set to conditionally home and conditionally level/qgl/zta
• not have any leveling instructions in your slicer's print start
• don't disable your steppers during print end

To do this technique

1. In the assembly for the two parts (body and svg inlay, changed from modifier), set the handle body to be a negative part and the inlay to be a part.  This should leave only the inlay to print.
2. Slice and export the plate.
3. Set a z-hop that will clear the inlay model (so probably like 0.6 or something for a 0.4mm inlay).
4. Change the inlay to be a negative part and set the handle body to be a part so that only the handle body will print (make sure it has a cut out from the inlay).
5. Export the plate again, now with the gcode for the handle body.
6. On your printer, load the color you want for the inlay.
7. Print the inlay, staying present to be there when the print finishes.
8. Clean off any purge from the first print.
9. Change your filament to the handle body filament.
10. Quickly start the handle body print before your printer disables the steppers or loses it's home.
