Does anyone perhaps have the dimensions of the A350 Platform? I’m looking at having a new platform machined out of 5mm aluminium but would like to keep the holes at the exact same positions. The centre 4 holes, I see is ±90mm apart on the X and 102mm on the Y. The outermost holes are on the X 300mm and Y 320mm apart. However, the next rows are not on a standard (full millimetre) distance. I know some are on a diagonal but I’m still trying to measure them exactly.
If anyone has a drawing, please let me know.
Regards
Waldo
Ya know, the problem with Aluminum is that it is still a heat sink, with a big block of Aluminum it will keep changing for a long time because there is so much mass there. It will definitely be more solid than the frame and may change in a more uniform way than the frame but it may not solve the problem you’re trying to solve.
Phoebe @hyeii can you please supply Waldo with the exact dimensions of the bed hole pattern. Rather than me make a measuring mistake. Is there a tech diagram available?
Phoebe, as a suggestion, can Snapmaker produce paper templates with this layout for sale so that users can overlay them on pieces of wood and drill the holes for use as spoil-boards on the CNC
@doug
I’ve created a new spoil-board for myself. I would rather suggest we create a CNC file that can be used. As well as a Laser file to engrave/laser the grid.
There are however alignment complications and a single file cannot take care of this. Following was my steps;
Mount a 340x360 MDF board - with the clamps, it needs to be mounted off centre
Use CNC Drill 4 mounting holes - ensure that the origin is correct
Remove the new MDF board and mount it centred above existing spoil-board (you’ll need longer screws)
Run a second CNC file to drill the rest of the holes
Change to Laser
Set new Workspace Origin (CNC and Laser are different)
… you are more than wonderful!
