While building my own Hypercube, I chose parts I had on hand for the build and had to create/modify designs. I have listed them below:
- CR-10 Stock bed: Requires a different 15mm bed bracket with M4 holes and room for thumb screw
- 18mm LCJ18A3 Capacitive ABL Sensor: Requires a mounting bracket located in a place which doesn't interfere with overall axes movement
- 16mm OD Wiring loom: Requires mounting bracket to secure it to the frame
- Z Nut Bracket: My hypercube required additional slot length on the nut bracket to correctly position the travel nut.
Design changes due to hardware mounting decisions:
- RAMPS 1.4 - Decided to mount the board to the frame instead of an acrylic sheet, as Scott did on his printer. This required me to design a mounting bracket with 50mm fan shroud to cool the DRV8825 step sticks.
- Bed heater MOSFET: Designed a simple frame mount
- Bowden Mount: Decided to mount to the Right Rear Top corner, so had to design a new mounting bracket (Pic shows the old version. Newer STL uploaded)
- Power Supply: Decided to mount to the frame instead of an acrylic sheet, so had to design a mounting bracket similar to the one created by Tech2C for his 2020 build.
- 12864 LCD: The LCD cannot be mounted to the bottom front of the frame using the existing FGSC mount as it interferes with the bed Z travel. Designed a new 20 deg. mount (It's mounted to the top rear of the frame in the picture, but can be mounted to the bottom front and will clear the bed)
- Spool Holder Rod Clamp: Didn't like Tech2C's version where the M8 threaded rod is clamped with screws so designed a more robust version that mounts to the frame. Threaded rod is clamped with 2 M8 nuts, one on either side of the rod holder - The nut facing the frame sits in a recessed hole
Changes to the original X Carriage:
- Added 2 M3 mounting points in the rear between the belt clamps (Needs threaded insert)
Changes to Original Hotend Mount:
- Removed 12mm Sensor cutout
