Smoothieboard mount v2

Post by mhackney »

I updated my Smoothieboard mount to add cable holders for the steppers, thermistors and endstop wiring. It also moves the mounting holes to ears - I was getting tired off having to remove the Smoothieboard in order to make adjustments to the mount location!

Although intended for a Mini Kossel this can be used with any printer. You can use the mount holes (on the ears) to attache the board in the base of your Rostock or other printer first and then attach your board to the pillars. Another good reason for adding the ears!

cheers,
Michael

Geesh Michael! Where's the damned cover? LOL

Were you reading my mind today? I work up thinking I have to print this darned thing for my mini-kossel.

I thought about making a cover but wanted to keep it open for cooling until I have everything sorted. One cool thing (pun intended) is the fan on my E3d V6 is directed at the back of the board when it is printing. Two coolings in one!
