Clamp for Tronxy X1 Control Box Base - No need to drill acrylic

prusaprinters

<p>I was feeling reluctant to drill holes in the acrylic base of my X1, not being sure it would not crack or split. (Overcautious? maybe.) I designed these clamps to hold down the base with holes drilled in the control box as seen.</p> <p>Installing:</p> <ol> <li>Push an M4 nut into the nit holder. It may be a tight fit, so use force, or print a little bigger.</li> <li>Use the L shaped clamp to locate and drill a hole large enough for an M4 screw.</li> <li>Thread the nut holder over the screw and use it to hold on to while gluing with super glue.</li> <li>undo the screw and put the clamp on, securing it firmly, being sure it is tight to the base.</li> <li>If you use a long enough screw, you can remove the printer from the base by simply loosening the screws.</li> </ol> <p>Parts required:</p> <p>2x printed clamp and nut holder</p> <p>2x M4 screw of sufficient length.</p> <p>2x M4 nut</p> <p>2X m4 washer</p> <p>This clamp should work with other case/base/box designs.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer:</strong></p> <p>Tronxy X1</p> <p class="detail-setting rafts"><strong>Rafts: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Supports:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting resolution"><strong>Resolution: </strong> <div><p>.2</p></div> <p><strong>Infill:</strong></p> <p>100</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>I printed in PLA, which I think should be strong enough.
