FT EMS V0 Pandoras Box

INTRODUCTION

This is an EMS frame that mounts under the Voron V0 printers. The request for this mod came from Steph @OldGuyMeltsPlastic. Check out his YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@OldGuyMeltsPlastic for more modding goodness!

THE DESIGN

FT EMS V0 Pandoras Box is designed to move all of the electronics below the printer. This is achieved by mounting on both sides of the EMS frame. 

BOM

This mod does need to be printed on a bed that is capable of printing 200mm. Since these parts are not installed in the heated chamber they can be printed in PLA/PETG but we would still recommend using ABS or ASA for overall strength and as recommended by Voron design.

All parts are oriented correctly to just slice and print without the need of supports.

Additional parts necessary are: -

Original

1. 4 x M3 T Nuts to secure the frame to the extrusions
2. 4 x M3x8 BHCS screws to mount the frame

G2Z

1. 5 x M3 T Nuts to secure the frame to the extrusions
2. 5 x M3x8 BHCS screws to mount the frame

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

EMS is designed to be extremely flexible as to let the user decide what hardware to use on the printer. Therefore we have created a mounts repository where power supply, controller board, expansion board and single board computers (Raspberry Pi) mounts are stored. Please visit our mounts repository to download universal cable ducts and mounts for the hardware you intend to install - https://www.printables.com/model/558357-ft-ems-mounts-repository

Which hex mounts do I need? Here is a breakdown of what each are used for: -

1. Mount A = hole directly in the center of the hex and the screw is inserted from the mount side
2. Mount B = hole is with a 5mm offset and the screw is inserted from the mount side. Depending on which direction you need the offset you can rotate the hex so its actually 5mm offset in 6 directions!
3. Mount C = Cable tie in the center of the hex in the vertical orientation
4. Mount D = Cable tie in the center of the hex in the horizontal orientation
5. Mount E = These are used for electronic mounts that have a heat insert in them. The screw will go through the center of the hex from behind into the mount. These are typically used for SSR and some PSU mounts.
6. Mount F = These are used for electronic mounts that have a heat insert in them. The screw will go through the center of the hex from behind into the mount. These are typically used for SSR and some PSU mounts.
7. EMS Bolt = this is used for awkward mounts and load into the channel on the electronics mount with an M3 heat thread insert preloaded. These work in combination of Mount E and F.
