Rigidbot Upgrade Kit - Back plate

thingiverse

This is a printable version of the open source back plate for the Rigidbot electronics upgrade kit.\nIt's divided into two pieces so that it can print on the 10 x 10 bed of a regular Rigidbot or a Rigidbot2, making it easy to use as part of the upgrade process.\nThe upgrade kit consists of Left and Right Back Plate pieces, Anchor pieces (print 2) for corner knuckle installation, Foot Risers (print 4), and a mounting frame integrated into the back panel for the main board.\nNote: For more details on the electronics upgrade kit this back plate is part of, visit https://plus.google.com/113930448883604105560/posts/NF4w4YeCzUF\nTo ensure a smooth upgrade process, I recommend printing quick release spool holders with other parts; they can be found here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1687553\nThe parts are Cura scaled and oriented for printing.\nThese parts require calibrated filament to fit properly; I used the following pieces for calibration: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1037301\nPrint Settings:\nPrinter: Rigidbot 2 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.1 mm Infill: 20% Notes: Remove old tape and clean the bed with Windex before applying new tape to prevent parts from warping.\nUse at least a .8mm wall thickness for strong sides, top, and bottom; be patient as this is a long print, but it yields very rigid results.\nPost-Printing Removal: It helps to heat the bed to 50C when prying parts off the bed. Run a thin blade under all edges and use a larger flat blade for middle sections.\nA thin putty knife is handy for this; an alternative tool is a 3/4" chisel with the bevel side down, which works well without damaging tape.\nPrying up at one or two spots makes parts pop right off; heating the bed back up seems optional.
