Kossel Mini Hexagonal Base V2

thingiverse

In my quest to tame the chaotic mess of wires and visuals surrounding my Kossel Mini printers, I devised this base. **Version 2 Features:** -Separate side panels for effortless maintenance -Smaller corner pieces for accelerated printing and reduced material waste -More adaptability for add-ons and modifications -Easier assembly Designed to accommodate almost any Kossel Mini style printer up to a 220 mm build platform diameter, smaller sizes will also work seamlessly. The use of brackets to attach the printer to the base allows extremely flexible sizes and configurations. The model showcases a Smoothieboard, although there is ample space for a RAMPS 1.4 or most other printer control boards in that area instead. You will require 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. The removable panels can either be cut or printed, your preference, files are provided for both options.
