IKEA Lack Raiser with placing main board externally by ai91

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

With my design the printing area is in the isolated warm box (when printing with PLA 190°C/60°C, the internal temperature keeps at 37-38°C), while all electronics (ZRIB motherboard, AC/DC converters, OrangePiZero) are in the external environment (21°C).
Modifications compared to other Lack raisers:
I use no door hinges. Instead of that I use magnets. As benefit - I can easily take away whole window. As result I have access to the printer from 3 sides (one side is permanently closed, see below). Strong cylindrical magnets are glued into holes drilled in the plexiglass plates. Magnets hold plates perfectly.
Each raiser was splitted into two parts: top (5mm) and bottom (95mm).
Designed to move all electronics parts outside of the warm box (to avoid overheating). To achieve that, one plexiglass plate is permanently fixed (right one). All electronics are placed on this plate from external side (simply drilled holes in the plate and screwed all the stuff directly to the plate). For child-protection reasons, placed another sheet of plexiglass over the electronics (not full sized - there are huge ventilation holes on top and bottom). The displays (printer's LCD, thermometer, current meter), and buttons are placed on the external sheet.
also designed handles for glasses and connectors (for holding of second sheet with displays).
