Panelolu by Think3dPrint3d

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

This is a derivative of the PanelMax Prusa - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:21135 by TommyC. It adds a couple of small pots for LCD brightness and contrast, along with changing the size of the reset switch to small and low profile.
Quick video of it in action here:http://youtu.be/6dPR84LiO9Y
The click encoder, pots and reset switch are mounted on a breadboard within the enclosure which has expanded to fit them.
As the name suggests it was primarily designed for Sanguinololu - it moves the SDSL card reader: www.reprap.org/wiki/SDSL from the ISP and top of the expansion header into the case and uses every other free pin on the expansion header.
Having recently built a Mendel 90: http://reprap.org/wiki/Mendel90 I am a convert to ribbon cables so this design uses a single 22 way ribbon cable from the expansion header+isp header to the enclosure. Obviously you can use a different connectors on the end to connect it like the PanelMax to RAMPS or other electronics.
Update - works with Printrboard, see: http://blog.think3dprint3d.com/2012/07/panelolu-with-printrboard.html for details
