PrintRite-Ramps 1.4 housing by shawdreamer

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

Ramps 1.4 housing that fits directly to mountings for original Printrite Mainboard and cover and uses the MB mounting screws.
internal mounting points to suit Arduino Mega board and Ramps shield
Facility for 2x 40mm cooling fans on front (mainly because Hughe bitched and whinged about my original design not having any..... we dont all live in nice warm countries ya moanin git)
inbuilt mounting for the Full Graphics LCD Controller and plenty of rear access for routing endstops and X-axis motor cable.
main base plate is split to allow easier printing on a printrite sized bed (200x200)
can be printed in either PLA or ABS but I would recommend the latter if you have a heatbed already as the two base plates can be heat welded together very cleanly with ABS.
additional requirements:-
14x M2x14mm screws/bolts.(for housing&LCD mounting)
4x m2 hex nuts. (for LCD mounting)
6x m2x20mm screws/bolts.(for arduino/ramps mounting)
(Im using these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/M2-A2-Stainless-Steel-Socket-Cap-Screw-Allen-Key-Bolts-Various-Length-12mm-20mm-/281091614393?var=&hash=item8716173d49)
additional: increased height of main body to fully accommodate lcd ribbon cables and increase heat dissipation
added additional mounthing points for ramps board to assist in adding additional board mods
added optional lcd back case for 2x additional 40mm fans that are placed to blow directly on the Ramps 1.4 heatbed & extruder Mosfets - not required for standard filament types (PLA & ABS) as current airflow is sufficient but maybe needed if user wishes to use filaments with higher temp requirements (which would mean mosfets working harder)
added one piece rear case part for printers using larger than 200x200 print beds
added fornt lcd panel part with minor alterations to help assist with lcd fitment
