This version has become outdated, please check out version 2 by clicking on the remix above or by following this link: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1766797 In my struggle to manage the wire and visual clutter of my Kossel Mini printers, I designed a base that contains everything. Designed to fit nearly any Kossel Mini style printer with up to 220 mm build platform diameter, smaller sizes will work just fine as well. The use of brackets allows for very flexible sizes and configurations when attaching the printer to the base. The model shows a Smoothieboard, though there is plenty of room for a RAMPS 1.4 or most other printer control boards in that space instead. You'll need a saw, drill, and some patience or a CNC/laser cutter for the top and bottom sheets that complete the base as well as the bed support and insulation circle. 1:1 scale SVG files are included for all of those pieces. You can either print them out and cut around them or load up your CAM software of choice. Thanks!
