LACK Attack #1: Stack the Lack (aka The Lack Stack Adapter)

prusaprinters

<p>I don't expect many to follow this, but my plan is to post my journey into printer enclosures and expand beyond my current "it sits on the table" model...</p> <p>Wanting to learn and build on what others have done, I decided to start a series of "things" to chronicle my "accidental" (aka the wife doesn't know yet) foyer into printer enclosures in hopes I can help others looking to take the next step, as well to learn from others that have that might see this and provide some help along the way.</p> <p>It all started one night when my wife went to work and I decided to visit IKEA looking for the new TRÅDFRI gateway and bulbs... "Somehow" 4 or 5 (maybe 6) LACK end tables also fell onto my cart...<br/> I thought: "I think I've seen others use these for enclosures, well its too hard to put them back now, I guess they're coming home with me...."<br/> Muahahahaha.... ;)</p> <p>We'll see how long this series of builds lasts, it might not last past the morning when she gets home, we'll have to see...</p> <p>As always, comments are greatly appreciated, in this case direction and pitfalls to watch for are also appreciated, If you've been here done this and have a better way please let me know.</p> <p>without further adieu....</p> <p>Attack 1: STACK THE LACK</p> <p>After assembling 5 LACK tables, stacking them wasn't that much fun, they didn't want to stay in place, so..... I searched Thingyverse and found.... way too many ideas and options....</p> <p>So I built my own...</p> <p>NOTE: SAVE THE SPARE LEGS! If your following this build, you need them for LACK ATTACK #4.</p> <p>Based on a number of other builds (its really a simple part) I put together a quick Lack Stack adapter. It'll likely (definitely) be replaced in the (near) future but its a starting point for this series of builds.</p> <p>A simple corner coupler, it locks the upper LACK into the lower LACK, so you can built a LACK STACK.</p> <p>Next:<br/> Attack #2: Lets Caster the Lack Stack...<br/> <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/15918-lack-attack-2-casterate-the-lack-aka-roll-the-lack">https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/15918-lack-attack-2-casterate-the-lack-aka-roll-the-lack</a></p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>Category: 3D Printer Accessories Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong> Prusa</p> <p><strong>Printer:</strong> <a href="http://amzn.to/2DxjZlB">i3 MK2S</a></p> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong> No</p> <p><strong>Supports:</strong> No</p> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong> 0.40mm</p> <p><strong>Infill:</strong> 0%</p> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>Printed in white NGEN, 240C nozzle, 85C bed, you could try infill but it just slows the print down and causes issues.<br/> The first set I started printing with Slic3r and default 0.35 fast settings with 0% infill, they worked but it took ~1.5hrs to print. I switched over to Cura and its 0.40mm settings with 0% infill, once it got past the first 3 layers I turned the speed on the printer up to 175%, each set afterwards only took ~30 minutes to complete.</p> <h3> Post-Printing</h3> <p><strong>Build &amp; Assembly Notes:</strong></p> <p>Print it, pop it off, slide them onto the legs, and stack....<br/> Not much harder than that....</p> <p><strong>Revisioning:</strong></p> <p>v1.0 - initial release.</p> <h3> How I Designed This</h3>
