Viki Housing

What do you think of this design?
Features:
-wedge shaped
-Has mounting hoes
-Has places for magnets
-Looks better than plain wedge design

 

looks good, thanks,

what are the magnets for

 

I was going to glue some really strong magnets to it then if possible glue magnets (in reverse polarity) to the back side of the RoBo plastic housing so it will snap in place without having to drill into RoBo. It was just an idea and I'm not sure how it will work until I can see the printer in person. Kinda like a ipad smart case.

 

looking at the file can you make it so that the back inside isn't angled? that would save a lot of material and time during the print

 

Hollow all the way through so the back is completely open except mounting holes?

 

How about completely skeletonizing the rear?

 

Oh... I see what your talking about.. I'm working on thinning it out.

 

Will this help?

 

looks good, i'll try it.
wow rephost says 12hrs to print this using my current settings, this is gonna take some time. its stormin over where i'm at, so hope the power doesnt go out.. lol

 

progress coming along. 4hrs into a 12hr print. jdm's viki lcd angle mount.

 

Awesome... Thanks for the pics & update!

 

there's a gap in the frame work that needs to be resolved.


you can simplify this a little more by decreasing the angle, removing anything above the red line.
that will shorten the print time also

 

Ok.. I'll fix it.

 

Cambo, 12 hours for that? What resolution were you printing at? Is that the Rostock Max?

 

200 microns, at 30mm per sec speeds, print finished but the mount still needs some work. There are some unnecessary paths in the framework.

 

I feel like a proud parent... Very cool to create something on the computer then see it born into the world....
Is that error/gap still an issue? I trying to fix it. It is a challenge dealing with the angles in Inventor Fusion.

 

yeah it leaves a gap in the print, the holes came out good, i was getting some warping during the print but still came out ok to me.

 

Ok.. can you take a pic of that area so I can see what it's doing? Are the mounting hole a good size?

 

Is the back square with the bottom?
