MPSM Side Panel - Bed Rewire, Gantry Support, Vent (8mm)

thingiverse

I wanted to utilize maorikutta's MPSM side panel but it had to fit snugly around an 8mm rod. The reason I was drawn to that design is because it incorporates three key features that other panels lacked:\r\n\r\n1) No additional printer was required, and the entire assembly could be printed in two pieces on the MPSM.\r\n2) It included a convenient opening for rewireing the no-drill bed.\r\n3) The components were sturdy and connected with a robust set of M3 screws.\r\n\r\nThe only drawback was that it was designed specifically for a 6mm rod and linear bearing. I decided to remix it, incorporating a larger hole on the x-axis extension and base to accommodate an 8mm rod instead. Only the parts that differ from the remixed projects are included; check those out for the other half of the side panel.\r\n\r\nI used four M3.0x16.0mm screws and four M3.0 nuts, but shorter screws would have been suitable as well (no smaller than 12.0mm). My setup didn't require an attached camera or accessories, so I only needed the 8mm rod (12in length) and a single 8mm linear bearing.
