Printrbot #adoptabot Electronics Cover and Standoff

<p>Recently, Brook from Printrbot launched a campaign to put 3d printers in classrooms called #adoptabot.You can find out more about #adoptabot here: <a href="https://www.adoptabot.org/">https://www.adoptabot.org/</a> .</p> <p>The wire management is essential in my mind to making these bots safer for classrooms. I went ahead and modeled a cover for the printrboard that allows access to the microSD, USB, and power plug. It simply clips in on the left of the board and secures with a single screw. Much better than the rats nest I had originally. Plenty of ventilation available and room for wire wraps to enter on the left side.</p> <p>Required: You will also need to print 4 of the simple standoff spaces included so the board doesn't sit directly against the body of the printer. This is actually a great thing to do regardless of using the cover for airflow and reducing strain on parts of the board. Original screws and such are not a problem to reuse. No other parts needed.</p> <p>Let me know how this works for your #adoptabot build. I've included the Fusion 3D archive file and STEP file so you are able to customize if needed.</p> <h3> Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Robo 3D</p> <p><p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>R1 ABS + PLA Model</p></div><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p><p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>Yes</p></div><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.3 mm</p> <p><p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>10</p></div></p> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>The only supports needed is from the screw hole down to the plate. I didn't print it with supports under the two tabs or in the microSD slot. You're printer bridging ability might differ and support might be needed in those areas.</p> </p></p></p> Category: 3D Printer Accessories
