Flex Plate Cam-Lock Lever Extension Assy by DPs_Designs

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

These are for doing a build plate with a flex plate on the bottom of the stock glass plate for a CR6-SE. Plus or minus .351 inches total build plate thickness including aluminum, glass, magnetic base, and flex plate. I also have included printable stock replacement Cam-Lock Levers and Rear Clips. My original idea for the extensions was to drill a hole on each side of the Cam-Lock Lever and into the stock tab which would be tapped for countersunk screws. But for now I just added a short stop plate on the bottom to keep them from turning. The Cam-Lock Lever Extensions are just small discs that go into the stock tab to hold up the Cam-Lock Levers. I designed it this way so that you could use either version of the Cam-Lock Levers with just the Extensions (without the pull tabs). And speaking of the Extensions, They are just that with no Pull Tabs attached to them. So if you don't want the tabs or plan on printing some pull tabs that go underneath the stock plate tab, then they're the ones you want to print.
This will also help fix the bed shorting problem, at least for the rear clips. I believe it also the cam-lock levers that need to be insulated also and I still used the main part of that, that bolts to the build plate. Although I did put some electrical tape on them to help for now. I do have plans to probably do a whole new one piece design that can still use the original cam-lock levers. So keep a lookout for those in the future.
I also have a set of printable stock replacement Cam-Lock Levers and Rear Clips if you happen to break any of your original ones and need replacements. Also have this in a one piece full printable replacement of the mount. You can find them here along more of my designs - https://www.thingiverse.com/dps_designs/designs
HARDWARE:
(2) 3Mx25mm bolts for the front extensions
(4) 3Mx10mm bolts for the rear clips.
Make sure to get the same type of head as the stock bolts.
Use the OME mount, spring, and the pin that holds the bolt inside the spring.
PRINTING NOTES:
Material: ABS
Infill: 50
Speed:50-75
Adhesion: Skirt
Supports: Yes (on Arms and Tab Extensions only)
PRINTING POSITIONS:
Extensions - Rotate 180 degrees so top is down.
Tab Extensions - Rotate 180 degrees so top is down with supports. Or rotate 90 degrees on side w/o supports if you not as worried about structural strength. Either way should work just fine for this.
Cam-Lock Lever Extensions - Just print them.
Cam-Lock Levers - These could be rotated 90 degrees so they lay on the side of the arm for a little less support needed, but I find that printing straight upright gives just a slightly better result. Plus I had one of test prints fill the dip on the end of the arm with support, which was a pain to get out.
Clips - Rotate 90 degrees so they are on there sides.
Stock Replacement Parts - I haven't printed and tested yet. The Clips should be able to print the as the ones above since they're just a lower profile. The Cam-Lock Levers could probably be rotated 180 degrees so top is down without supports. If you happen to print these and they don't quick work, let me know and I'll see about adjusting them.
HAPPY PRINTING!
