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

    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

    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

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

    Yea it is on his rostockmax. But he said it is a c+ at best, so I'm assuming he is printing at great quality to make up for the bad quality of the printer?

    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.
