Rostock Mini Acrylic Plans for Mounted Duet 0.8.5

thingiverse

Human: Updated Brian Evans' provided DXF files for the original Rostock Mini design to include a mounting hole for the 100mm by 123mm Duet 0.8.5 printer board. Additionally, time was taken to add slots for passing through FSR wiring for auto-calibration and replicate the mounting holes along the edge to the remaining two sides of the bed, allowing for the creation of outward facing side panels for the base in the future. For the top, squares for zip-ties were pushed to the outer edge to better "round out" the wiring from the end stops. Holes for motor mounts were mirrored from the base to one corner of the top for a future extruder motor bracket. Overall, results are satisfactory, but if given another chance, holes on the edge of the base would be doubled for 3D printing two sets of side panels per side instead of just repeating the 2 holes from the Duet mount. One side panel would be borderline too long as it is currently laid out. Second set of zip-tie squares on the edge of the base should have been kept to secure hotend wiring, which is presently crammed in with endstop wiring. Print Settings Printer: BOSS 1416 Laser Engraver Rafts: No Supports: No Notes: Using a BOSS 1416 laser cutter with a 60W laser, it took approximately 6 minutes to cut the base and 4 minutes to cut the top out of two sheets of 12" x 12" x 0.236" (~5mm) cast acrylic. Multiple cuts were needed as we were experimenting with settings and came up with 60% at 5mm/sec for the base. Still needed a second pass when cutting the top, so consider increasing to 65% to 75% power. How I Designed This Access was gained to Adobe Illustrator CC through work that allowed installation on my home computer and use to import / open Brian Evan's original frame.dxf file (included with the files) before saving as a CC Illustrator file (*.ai). After making adjustments and edits, separating the base and top, setting the stroke to 0.25pt, I then exported the file as an R13/LT95 DXF file. That seemed to work great for laser cutting.
