thingiverse

For those of you seeking an elegant way to connect a standard ATX supply to your printer control box without damaging the PSU cables, this solution is designed with that in mind. A Mod for Ramps 1.4 housing featuring an 80mm fan and built-in LCD controller 12864 was created by Bernd H. (BH_3D_Hobby) and can be found on Thingiverse at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1694188. The following print settings were used: Printer Brand: FlashForge Printer Model: Creator Pro Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 70% Notes: This mod is designed for those who want to connect a standard ATX supply to their printer control box without damaging the PSU cables. A big thank you to Bernd H. for designing and assembling this amazing project! I also want to extend my appreciation to all the designers who contributed to this effort through their hard work. I redesigned the back plate from scratch to include three panel-mountable fixed plugs, which are essential for making this mod work. The mod includes one ATX 2.01 24-pin fixed plug and two 8-pin EPS fixed plugs. Unfortunately, I was unable to find any extension cables with the required panel-mount barbs for a 6-pin PCI Express socket. I used StarTech extension cables (not recommended) that I purchased from Amazon UK on short notice: 1x "8in 24 Pin ATX 2.01 Power Extension Cable" (EAN: 065030819749) (AmazonUK: B000FL60AI) 2x "8in 6 Pin PCI Express Power Extension Cable" (EAN: 065030842778) (AmazonUK: B000M802RG) The mod was printed in PrimaValue PLA (Red) with the following settings: 70% infill (FullHoneycomb) 0.4 @0.9 Extrusion Multiplier 0.2mm layer Top/Bottom/Perimeter all 3 To maintain hole accuracy, the outline was printed Outside-In using Simplify3D. Print settings include: Nozzle Temp: 215degC Bed Temp: 55degC (onto Kapton-on-glass) Print cooling fan at 100% from layer 2 Default print speed: 60mm/s This mod was designed using Fusion360 and sliced on Simplify3D v3.1.1. It was printed on a FlashForge Creator Pro (2016) via SD Card.
