3dpLaser Control Panel

Last crawled date: 4 years, 2 months ago

NOTE: This control panel has be completely redesigned and redrawn from scratch.
I had started wiring my control panel and found that I really wasn't liking how it was starting to look like a rats nest with wires going everywhere, so I decided to go back to the CAD and redesign the backside of the control panel to have some pockets to hold 3 connectors to clean up all the jumper wires for everything that needed power and ground.
The top connectors are simply 2.54mm headers with a wire soldered across all the pins on the back side which then simply slide into the pockets, this greatly simplifies and cleans up the wiring. The bottom right connector is an 8 pin JST-XH which makes the control panel completely modular and easily wired then put in place and simply plugged in.
I'm very happy with the way this turned out!
I am including 2 versions of this panel: With and without the connector pockets, you only need to choose the one you want and print one of the two!
I also made a drill template that you simply place onto the face of your base and drill the holes out to 3mm (.125") This takes all the guess work and measuring out of it.
