Arduino Mega 2560 and Due adapter plate for Prusa i3 Improved laser cut frame + VIDEO

thingiverse

Basically the holes on the left wing of the Prusa i3 Improved for laser cut do not align with the Arduino Mega 2560 and Arduino Due. Currently, I only use the upper most right hole to mount my Arduino Due and RAMPS-FD shield. I took measurements on my own frame and from the .DXF file of the frame and they match up. Then I found the measurements on a blog for the holes of the Arduino Mega / Due. In Fusion 360, I created a sketch of the hole locations and drew lines around them to form a body. Afterwards, I decided to save print time and filament by splitting the body into upper and lower mounts. You are free to download and modify the source from Autodesk Gallery. Using Netfabb Standard, I checked the STL files for problems and found none. Requires M3 hardware (7 bolts, 7 nuts, and washers), preferably stainless steel; otherwise, it will work too. Subscribe to my YouTube channel; you can see this thing being printed here with a little peek at Fusion 360.
