SET 2 - CUT-OUT FRAME: Are you using a thicker plexi sheet? Plexi max. dimensions 250 x 245 x 2,5 mm up to 250 x 245 x 5 mm You may need this spacer to fill the gap https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4906215 Again, adjust the thickness/height to your needs. This spacer is h=1mm Needed hardware for SET 2 (with a 5 mm plexi): 5 x M3 screws - length 17,5 mm, go for 18 mm 3 x M3 screws - length 27,5 mm, go for 30 mm 8 x washers. Inner diam. = 3,00 mm / Outer diam. = 7 mm 8 x M3 locking nuts NOTE: take care not to use too long screws. There may be differences between real needed lengths and those given by the design. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4X5ySU-PnU Set to be printed with your Z-603S (several prints): https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4907907 FINAL THOUGHTS about closing your printer: You may add windows to your printer for aesthetic or for practical reasons (dust protection, noise reduction or stabilising chamber temperature like in my case ...). Have in mind that you are adding a MOD to your printer which has not been tested by the manufacturer and which is likely to affect the future behaviour of your machine. So … you do this at your own risk! Under normal circumstances the X, Y and E0 steppers run hot. I presume they will get even hotter after closing both sides of the printer. This is clearly a CON, so keep an eye on this. Monitor temperatures and compare them with the values provided by the technical specifications/data sheet of the used steppers mod. Fans should be fitted to these steppers (and heatsinks … the X-Stepper will be a nut to crack). - - - UPDATE 2021.09.04: I've been monitoring temperatures and the X-stepper runs really hot, reaching up to 70-75ºC. Adding a fan will bring it down to safer 50-55ºC (no heatsink used so far). Mounting this fan support is still a bit fiddly, but I will mature the design to make the installation more convenient Find it here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4949038 - - - Always have in mind what materials you will print with after. In addition, I would recommend not to print the frames in PLA. Better use ABS or PETG as they can withstand higher temperatures inside the chamber without deformation. Enjoy! O.
