As promised, here is version 6.2 of a Snapmaker cabinet.
It is based on an old table I had in storage for the last 35 years.
The cabinet is constructed of 1/2 inch plywood. There are about 30 3D printed parts in it, as well as some purchased parts and a few items I had hanging around in my work shop. I will weld 4 castors to the steel table legs.
The main changes to ver 6.1 was the addition of the Air Assist pump in an empty space in the filter section and converting the 5/8 plywood construction to 1/2 inch.
The A350 is shown with the single nozzle 3D print module. I plan to have the dual nozzle, the 20W laser and the high power CNC on the quick change setup.
It is modelled in SketchUp, and if anyone wants, I can post the .skp file.
I will explain each drawing further. All 3D printed items are blue.
Basic over view of front. To the left is a storage box for the bed platens (3D print, CNC and laser) plus some thick cardboard sacrificial CNC beds.
Different angle. I have an old light duty air compressor mounted on a shelf to clean the enclosure of swarf after a CNC run. As well as a small parts drawer. All systems are controlled by the front panel. The table top has about 28 X 28 inches workspace.
Backside.
All doors and drawers open. The 4 big drawers (12 X 26 X 5) are full extension. Handles are 3D printed. The 4 small drawers (5 X 12 X 3) just slide out.
Closeup of the filter section. The side is removable with thumbscrews. At the top of the section is the HEPA/Cabon filter access door, and the bottom is the dust bin. The dust bin is emptied with a vacuum cleaner attached to the removable plug. Between the drawers and the filter section is storage for 2 filters. Was just empty space.
Side panel removed. I’m using a high CFM bathroom fan as the filter exhaust fan. It will have a variable speed controller, low for 3D print, medium for laser and high for CNC. The Air Assist pump fit nicely in the upper right corner which in Ver 6.1 was unused space. The air hose just goes straight up into the enclosure.
Different angle.
Note: Bed structure not shown. The A350 (but not the enclosure) is sitting on a concrete paver as a shake damper, and that is on a thick rubber pad as a vibration damper. I also will mount the controller on a bracket to keep it in easy reach. All the power wiring (not shown) wraps around the vibration damper from back to front within the structure.
If you have questions or comments, I’m all ears. If you want more angles of the cabinet, just ask.
This is just a concept at this time and I don’t expect anyone to make it, as it is built around that table I have. But the air filter system, the printer base with the drawers could be adapted as a stand alone.
p.s. Ignore the proprietary notice bottom right on each drawing. Forgot to hide it.
