Elegoo Saturn Cover Mod w/ Heater by quadcells

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

The Elegoo Saturn is an awesome MSLA 3D printer, except that I really like the cover I have on my Epax X1 which was a hinged cover that flipped up to open.
I designed a "Hinged  Cover" that uses two gas struts to help smooth out the cover opening and to help secure the cover in almost any angel in it's 100 degree range.
UPDATE
I just notice I didn't list the AC Jack/ Switch. Sorry about that.AC 250V 10A IEC 320 C14 Panel Mount
Hardware:
1 Aluminum handle 64mm hole to hole, 90mm in length.
2 20N gas struts. Amazon or equivalent (optional)
2 sets of Shock Brackets with screws fromThe Lock Connection or equivalent (needed if installing gas struts.) The struts come with it's own set and a set contains 1 round and 1 right angle. This installation needs both to be the round type.
2 hinges. I used MroMax 2Pcs Reinforced Black Plastic Countersunk Hole Hinge 7.6mm fromAmazon only one package of 2.
Transparent Dark Red Acrylic Plexiglas Sheet 8" x 12" x 1/4" Cast Acrylic Ebay
12V 15A 180W Power Supply Adapter 110V / 220V AC to DC
Temperature Controller -50 to 110 Celsius (-58 to 230 F) DC 12V Programmable Heating/Cooling Thermostat Control Switch Module
PTC Car Air Heater Energy Saving Small Space Car Fan Heater Constant Temperature Heating Element Heaters (12v 150w)
3 10mm x 5mm x 3mm N52 Rare Earth Neodymium( 2 install on the front of the base, 1 install on the lower part of the cover. This helps the door from opening.
12 M3x10mm button head bolts (secure shock brackets to rear bottom and front top)
12 M3 washers (shock brackets)
12 M3 nuts (shock brackets)
4 M3x20mm socket head bolts (secure the base to the Saturn)
4 M3x8mm button head bolts (secure PS to the rear half)
4 M4x12mm button head bolts (secure the heater enclosure to the base)
8 M6x16mm button head bolts (for the hinges)
8 M6 lock nuts (for the hinges)
Sorry I didn't think of making a video of the assembly but it is pretty easy to figure out.
I printed the heater_display_enclosure with my Saturn and tapped the 4 mounting holes with a M4 tap.
I used medium Cyanoacrylate to bond the 2 cover pieces together, 2 base parts together, the trim to the cover, trim to the base, the magnets to the base and cover.
