Hood for BCN3D Sigma R17

thingiverse

ATTENTION!!! I just realized I attached the wrong drawings in my initial update, and I've since made two versions of this. The first version was too low-quality for my taste, so I created a new one, Version 2. Unfortunately, I accidentally included the original Version 1 with the initial download, which I urge you not to use as a reference. Instead, please review the correct drawings for Version 2 that I've now attached. Before proceeding with the build, double-check that you have the latest drawings for Version 2. This will ensure that your project turns out correctly. It's perfectly fine to proceed with building based on the new drawings, which I've thoroughly reviewed and verified with my own hood. If you encounter any issues during this process, please don't hesitate to reach out via comment, and I'll do my best to assist you promptly. I appreciate any feedback you may have regarding this project. My apologies again for the initial mistake! This is a custom hood designed specifically for the BCN3D Sigma R17 printer. The included drawings are for the plastic glass, which can be cut from a single sheet of 1200 x 800 x 4mm material. To create the door, simply print two A3-sized sheets at 1:1 scale, cut them out with scissors, and tape the two parts together. Then, use these prints to draw the outline onto the plastic glass. ATTENTION!: Before drilling any holes for the hinges on the door, please assemble the entire hood first. You may need to adjust the height of the door to ensure a snug fit. Regarding the drawings, I understand they're not the most visually appealing, but rest assured that all essential measurements are included and accurately represented. To make cutting out the parts from the plastic glass easier, I recommend marking the holes with a pointy object before drilling. Use a sharp 4.5mm drill bit to create precise holes. A jig saw is ideal for cutting out the parts; use a blade that cuts both ways for smooth results. Don't remove the protective plastic covering the sheet until you've drilled and cut out the part, as this will prevent scratching the surface. Both side plates appear identical, so you can use the same drawing for both left and right sides. The following components require printing two pieces each: * Corner bracket_ver2 * Hinge part1_ * Hinge part 2 For printing the brackets, feel free to use any material you prefer. I used PLA in my case. The "bottom bracket" files feature a small round cutout underneath; please insert a rubber-like foot into this opening.

For the locking parts, two self-threading screws with a diameter of 2.9mm and a length of 15mm are required. To accommodate the curved surface on the lower part of the door, I've created a printed component that can be easily attached without glue. This part is designed to fit onto the lower portion of the door in two separate pieces. For locking the door, you'll need the left and right locking parts, each consisting of two components screwed together with one screw. Ensure you place them on the correct sides before assembly; if not, they won't close correctly. The left side closes counterclockwise, while the right side closes clockwise. When closed, the logo THD should be visible on both sides. I hope you enjoy building this project!
