LaForge V2 Fatshark Doors

thingiverse

These parts are my response to receiving the LaForge Fatshark and Diversity receiver modules and wanting to design and print some doors to go over them, allowing me to fully utilize the strengths of my SLA printer. I wanted a design that fit well while accommodating different printers, although some post-print finishing may be necessary due to varying tolerances. I don't guarantee this will work on any printer, but I put in considerable time getting the tolerances close and holding good tolerance with my test prints (final test was mostly within .005, and I think nothing over .01). Since they fit my Dominator V3 pretty well, and considering time is a precious commodity for me, I likely won't be able to edit this part to accommodate individual printers or people's preferences. There's also the issue of tolerance - two manufactured parts with their own tolerances held during manufacturing process. Without knowing these tolerances, some people may have less space and others more. Use caution and common sense when putting everything together. If it doesn't fit, take time to find out why before trying to force it. Lastly, these parts are for running the wire internally, but a hole could easily be added in nearly any modeling program. The LaForge door is a tight fit, holding the module captive quite well in my case. I gave plenty of room on the Diversity side and intend using a small piece of double-sided tape to hold it to the door. I wanted to give ample room to adjust the module without anything internally getting damaged. I recall seeing on the LaForge site that some users had an issue with burning the ribbon cable located on that end, so use caution there. I plan to put in a heat shield or other form of heat blocking to protect the area where the cable is. Print Settings Printer: MUVE 3D Rafts: Yes Supports: Yes Resolution: 100μm Z, 75μm XY Infill: n/a Notes: This was printed on my SLA/DLP printer with the following settings: Tests: Makerjuice SF+ Red Final: 3DM X-green 50s initial exposure for 3 layers 9.25 all other My settings likely won't work for everyone, as I have a glass bottom vat and modified PJD7820HD projector. In terms of FDM, I'm not sure what settings would be best, but the material I use has very similar characteristics to ABS. You may need to make some adjustments or do some finishing due to the tight tolerances in the design. I did try to oversize the holes though. How I Designed This The main surface was designed in Alias to get a good starting point for the design. The additional parametric modeling was done in Inventor.
