TEVO Tarantula - Motherboard and LCD boxes

thingiverse

TEVO Tarantula - Motherboard and LCD boxes I spent countless nights perfecting that design. I couldn't believe it would be so challenging to draw "boxes". I've printed small portions of each box to test the different features (M3-nut holes, fan housing). I publish everything as I'm extremely confident in the result but I must admit I didn't print everything. Description The rear box contains the Makerbase motherboard: either MKS_GEN or MKS_BASE will fit perfectly in it. This box is fixed on the top V-slot with T-nuts/bolts. The front box contains the LCD screen. Quick and dirty installation guide: You'll need a bunch of M3 nuts, 8 & 12mm M3 bolts, M3-25mm long brass nuts. You'll also need 2 fans: 40x40x10 - 12V (Alseye ones are perfect, silent, and cheap). Assembly hardware: Mount MKS Base: 4x M3 10mm bolts + 4x M3 nuts Mount MKS Gen: 4x M3 10 or 12mm bolts + 4x M3 nuts Assemble The MKS Box: 4x M3 25mm brass nuts + 8x M3 10 or 12mm bolts Assemble the LCD box: 4x M3 20mm bolts + 4x M3 nuts 2 or 3x M4 T-Nuts + M4 10mm bolts Note: LCD screens are made of 2 parts that are often very poorly soldered. You may find that holes don't align well. Don't worry; you don't even need to fix the LCD screen in the box. Assembly Notes: Print the 4 parts Insert M3 nuts into corresponding holes, insert 25mm long brass nut that will secure both parts of the MKS box Mount MKS_front box on top v-slot Mount LCD_rear on MKS_front part Slide the 2 fans into their housing. Ensure airflow is unidirectional. You shouldn't need any screws. Assemble both motherboard and LCD screen, wire them together. Mount top parts, use M3 bolts (optional as the boxes should be self-sealed) Note: Don't hesitate to leave me a little tip if you like the design. That helps me pay for the filament I waste when printing prototypes. Print Settings: Supports: Resolution: 0.3 mm layer Infill: 30-40% Notes: DO NOT USE SUPPORT. The design is especially created to avoid using support. If you add support, they may be difficult to remove.
