Some items scratched off from the todo list:
- notches created in the bottom plate: check
- put bolts in a place where they do no harm.: check It might even still be compatible with the new carriage referenced in the manual (just noticed that one here: SM2 Bed Leveling 101
- separate mounting plate for print, laser & cnc: check (laser & print are basically the same except for the cutout of the temp-sensor
- I finally did keep the cross-things in place. Maybe it would work, maybe not, but I think I’ll try anyway. I think it could be just fine for laser & 3d printing. if it doesn’t work that good, they do no harm. I’ve designed them to be a through hole in the platform so it can be milled from a single side.
- used a different grid for the cnc plate (spaced 3cm apart in stead of 5 11x12 grid)
It should be possible to mill everything from one side (2 sided milling can be a challenge, so let’s avoid it) Only to countersink the threaded inserts for the cnc that won’t work. But that could be done manually with a drill, the accuracy of the bigger hole to countersink is less important.
todo’s:
- I should probably make the cnc plate compatible with the clamps I designed earlier
(Printed CNC clamps (sideways): feedback welcome) - check the measurements of the carriage bolts (need to get some first)
- actually make it
- publish it on github/thingiverse
