Flashforge AD5X Enclosure (Flat-Print parts)

v.1.02 cover (lid) parts changed

• Standard glass set for the AD5X used.

• The main printing material is PETG (approx. 895g). Before printing, adjust the flow rate for your filament.

!!! Пластик сушим сутки при 60°C, даже новый, иначе, с 99% вероятностью, при удалении поддержек - все расслоится к чертям. Разделительный слой в поддержках - PLA или HIPS, без этого никак (зазоров нет). По этой же причине, переходную башню можно увеличить на всю свободную от деталей область (благо она совсем не высокая), особенно, если у вас стоит не стоковая прошивка и сопло не полностью очищается от разделяющего пластика (ПЕТГ, в смеси с остатками других пластиков, сильно теряет в межслойном).  *Чтобы вытянуть поддержки легко (одной длинной лентой), каждый столбик поддержки нужно аккуратно сорвать с места вдоль паза,  тонкой (немного уже ширины паза) шлицевой (плоской) отверткой. Разделяющие слои вываливаются сами, либо счищаются лезвием.    *Не уверен в пластике и его остаточной влажности? - лучше напечатай одну деталь (с пазом под стекло) и пробуй удалить поддержки. *Увеличивай переходную башню, если уверен на 110%, что пластик "сухой", но удалить поддержки, без расслоение пазов - не получается. Удачи !!!

!!!! I recommend drying the filament for at least 24 hours (the safe drying temperature for PETG is 60°C). Print any one part that contains the glass slot and check it for delamination when removing supports! This is important! PETG delaminates easily if it is not dried !!!! 

• To make support removal easier, I’ve used PLA interface layers (HIPS would also work great). These settings are already predefined in the .3mf file. Note: This is a must-do, because the support gap in the project is set to zero. Before removing the supports as shown in the photos, I recommend running a screwdriver between each gap of the support columns to break them loose.

• For color accents and decorative elements, I recommend using a contrasting PETG color.

• The project includes the source files for the decorative insert in various formats for easy customization. Additionally, any soft sheet plastic (with or without a pattern) up to 1 mm thick can be used as decorative inserts. The width of a single corner insert is 37.5+/-1 mm. The height is either 370+/-1 mm (fitting the printer frame) or 625+/-1 mm (fitting the entire enclosure; in this case, do not print the top corner plugs, but please note that the plastic used must be able to withstand the temperatures of your future heated chamber).

• All parts are labeled as follows (XX YY ZZ):

  • XX (Main Side): Position relative to the front of the printer (e.g., FR – Front, RR – Rear, RH – Right Hand side).

  • YY (Orientation): Specific placement relative to the XX side. Note: For the rear panel, the Left/Right orientation remains the same as if you are looking at the printer from the front (e.g., RR-RH is the back-right corner).

  • ZZ (Level): Vertical position from 1 to 4 (H1 – bottom, H4 – top).

BOM

DIN 7982 (Countersunk Tapping Screws):

• ST2.9 (2.9mm x 20–22mm) – 24 pcs.

  • Application: H3 / H4 / lid frame.

  • Note: DIN 965 M3/20mm can be used as a substitute.

• ST2.2 (2.2mm x 12–14mm) – 2 pcs.

  • Application: Lid handle.

DIN 965 (Countersunk Machine Screws):

• M4 x 8mm – 8 pcs.

  • Application: H2 top screws (remove old ones).

• M4 x 6mm – 19 pcs.

  • Application: H1 / H2.

  • Note: Use original bottom screws for RH-RR-H1 and LH-RR-H1 panels.

• M3 x 16mm – 3 pcs.

  • Application: Display mount to central bar.

• M3 x 10mm – 10 pcs.

  • Application: Spool roller mounts (remove old ones), door handle + nuts.

• M3 x 4mm – 2 pcs. (optional)

  • If the right side window won't fit into the slot: Locate the endstop bracket and remove the two original screws; countersink the holes in the bracket for countersunk head screws. Try not to pierce the ribbon cable from the display on the back of the frame at the endstop bracket mounting points. Better yet, peel it back while tightening these screws.

ISO 7045 (Pan Head Machine Screws):

• M3 x 18mm – 4 pcs.

  • Application: Lid frame + nuts.

• M3 x 16mm – 1 pc.

  • Application: Central bar through the printer central frame. During the filament cutting procedure, the extruder hits the head of this screw. It might make sense to replace this screw with a countersunk one (DIN 965). Alternatively, do not screw it in at all, using only double-sided tape to secure the central bar (the bar has designated areas for this).

• M3 x 10mm – 4 pcs.

  • Application: Hinges + nuts.

• M3 x 8mm – 4 pcs.

  • Application: Hinges + nuts (through inserts).

Nuts:

• M3 Hex Nut – 14 pcs.
