Removable Spool Arm for Lulzbot Mini 3D Printer

thingiverse

This is a revised version of the original Lulzbot Arm, designed to create a detachable arm that fits into a bracket (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:756064) located on the right side of the frame. This modification frees up space on the right side of the frame for easy installation of the panel in an enclosure (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:756211). The modification involves cutting off the hinge portion of the standard arm and tapering the end. One beneficial outcome of this alteration is that it allows printing directly onto the bed of the Lulzbot Mini, enabling users to employ their printer to manufacture their new arm. Those interested in creating a complete enclosure for their Lulzbot Mini may be intrigued by the available laser-cut panel components and related hardware. A link to the complete kit for side enclosures is accessible at drazzticaction.com under 3D Printers, including Lulzbot Acrylic Enclosure: http://drazzticaction.com/products-page-2/3dprinters/lulzbot-acrylic-enclosure/. Additionally, it can be found on Amazon via the Lulzbot Mini 3D Printer Enclosure link, which is provided by TabSynth (http://amzn.com/B00VOE4SFO). Modified Arm: Adjusted length by a few millimeters to fit within the bounds of the Lulzbot Mini bed when using CURA and the outline feature. Blue skies, Jim Rasmussen Tab Instructions: Print the detachable arm with adequate fill for added strength, designed to bear weight. Two brass inserts support M5 threaded machine screws.
