Finally Finished the last Wall of the CR10S Pro Enclosure

7/8/2020

0 Comments

 
One wall in my partly printed CR10S Pro enclosure has been cardboard for the past several months.  The reasons for that are many, but the most important was that I did not have a good way to secure the wall without having anything showing on the outside.  The side wall is an Ikea HÄGGEBY cabinent door which was 7 bucks and what I designed the enclosure to use (since they are an economical way to close in the sides).  I'm planning to add two more of the doors as sides on the base part of the enclosure as well, and then possibly add some drawers and maybe shelves.  Right now though, I'm just happy to finally have the top enclosure, enclosed.  I will have to take it apart however since I need to seal the edges of the walls with some felt tape. 

The wall is connected with a 2 part attachment to the 4545 extrusions of the frame.  I first attached one part to the Ikea doors with screws (7/8" wood screws), and then the other part which has a M5x20mm round head screw with a M5 T-nut attached slides into the frame and then connects with the first part.  They are finally connected with a M5x20mm flat head screw which is the only hardware that shows when it is all together.  There is also a hole to fit an allen key so the T-nut can be tightened down in it's final position.  Overall the system works but it is a bit difficult to tighten down the T-nut since it has to be done in half turns with the wrench.  The next steps will be to add some lighting, a power supply for the Pi, Lighting and filters/blowers and probably then I will focus on the base some more. 

I have not posted this up to any sites, and am not sure if I will since the files are a bit of a mess and it's gonna take a while to sort out the final designs I used, not to mention explain how it all goes together.  It's a lot of work that I am not looking forward to and don't really have the time right now to write up instructions for it.  The expense of the project is also prohibitive for most folks and I only got into it piecemeal but know it cost more than the printer it encloses.
