101 Super Hero Upgrades (Power supply, Base and LCD Mount)

thingiverse

These custom parts I designed aim to make the 101 hero more kid-friendly by concealing some of the exposed power supply wiring and circuitry of the full graphic controller when using the ramps 1.4 setup. They are engineered to use minimal support and slide over the pylons, not only protecting your electronics but also enhancing the printer's stability. The base pieces were designed for use with a setup including NEMA 17 motors. When assembling the base, it is easiest to disconnect the belt from the pylons to allow enough slack to position the motors. Base pieces utilize the existing black screw from the original 101 hero stepper motors to attach the base to the pylon, and also use two 12mm M3 screws to connect the NEMA 17 stepper motors to the base piece. A pro tip for attaching pylon base pieces is to insert the M3 screws for the motor mount before attaching the base to the pylon. This will make it easier to line up your screwdriver through the holes in the front with the screw inside. I have not tried the vented pieces yet, but the non-switch versions support a 40mm fan and the switch version (vented and non-vented) will support the following switch assembly: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00511QVVK?psc=1 Additional designs to use when upgrading your 101 hero: From WorkshopTinkerers: The 101Hero Printhead Carrier E3D https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2127629 From tswaehn: Holder for Glass Plate https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2210718 From Jonnyo85: Lolly Stick Pylon Brace Reinforcement https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2291141 From exic: 101Hero Bowden Extruder Mount https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2451954 If you have any questions, feel free to post a comment.
