Thing-O-Matic Hood kit

prusaprinters

<p>Along the same line as my Replicator hood kit I've now made a ToM version. This helps keep the heat in and prevent drafts from messing up your prints. It has a long gap down the center to allow air to escape and allow filament in and out. I also set the height to 6" which is plenty of room no matter what extruder your rocking on your ToM.</p> <p>On the hood you will notice a 1" square hole in each corner. These are there for anything you may want to add. For example a filament brush or guide.</p> <p>If you don't have access to a laser cutter let me know and we can work something out.</p> <h3> Instructions</h3> <p>Cut the parts from 3mm (1/8") acrylic.</p> <p>This design can be cut on a laser cutter with a 12"x12" or larger cutting area.</p> <p>You will need the following hardware.</p> <p>4 - M3 22mm Bolts (McMaster #91292A801 50 pack)</p> <p>16 - M4 12mm Bolts (McMaster #90116A209 50 pack)</p> <p>16 - M4 Nuts (McMaster #94150A335 50 pack)</p> <p>24 - #8 Washers (McMaster #90126A512 100 pack)</p> <p>14 - M3 12mm Bolts (McMaster #95836A211 50 pack)</p> <p>18 - M3 Nuts (McMaster #98676A100 100 pack)</p> <p>6 sheets at 20"x12" worth of acrylic at 3mm Thick</p> <p>Hood assembly instructions:</p> <h3> 1 Attach the “hood back” to the “hood sides” with 4 - M3 12mm bolts and nuts</h3> <h3> 2 Attach the “hood top” panels with 4 - M3 12mm bolts and nuts (there will be a gap running down the center)</h3> <h3> 3 Attach the “hood front” panel with 6 - M3 12mm bolts and nuts</h3> <p>The hood will rest on top and has a lip to prevent sliding around.
