Embedded sliding front door for CraftBot

thingiverse

This innovative space-saving sliding front door is designed to fit neatly within CraftBot's internal free space on its sides and bottom. When viewed from outside, it presents a sleek appearance through three transparent polyurethane plates and a thin handle for opening and closing the door. The design integrates seamlessly with CraftBot's original screws on the sides. With the build plate completely down, users can still access the entire build volume while maintaining smooth functionality when moving the door in its full downward position. Build plate positioning is not restricted by the lowered door; all parts remain fully operational. When printing the bottom plates of the door, note that slight adjustments to print orientation and settings are required for a successful installation. The door's supporting transparent panels measure 365 x 88mm, with an impressive 2.3mm thickness. Following refinement, specific design parameters for these elements have been meticulously calculated in tandem with accompanying sliding connections, enhancing overall structural integrity. This upgrade encompasses a comprehensive adjustment package tailored specifically to augment current configurations of CraftBot print platforms. Key refinements within revised *.stl file revisions revolve around optimized door functionality and smoother printing performance: The horizontal link components feature increased thickness by 2mm for improved clearance between rails, ensuring full access while allowing for even the slightest alterations during plate deployment without obstructing operational efficiency
