Printrite DIY - Ramps 1.4 mount case

thingiverse

I just finished swapping out my Colido/Printrite DIY 3d printer's Mainboard for a full Ramps 1.4 setup. The new design allows the Ramps board to be housed in the same location as the original Printrite board, with the connected full graphics lcd controller housed in a self-contained case that can be left standalone or screwed/bolted somewhere convenient. The ramps backplate is mounted using two leftmost original screws and an upper center clip point secured by a zip tie. The front plate clips into place on the backplate, with two holes for additional screws if you prefer to fully lock it in place. I've chosen not to extend the original backplate entirely as I plan to create a smaller second cover for the incoming and outgoing cables, utilizing two remaining original screw points that can be removed individually for better convenience and simple access. Print Settings: Printer: Colido Printrite diy 3d printer Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 0.30 Notes: I've used a 0.2 layer depth on these designs because the new Ramps board handles finer resolutions much better than the original Printrite board, resulting in cleaner and more solid prints.
