Armchair-Heavy-Industries / Xol-Toolhead

Xol Toolhead is the evolution of 'Mantis Xol 2'. Aimed at modularity and quality of life improvements for installation and serviceability. We have left the mantis carriage behind, and thus are now just Xol sans Mantis. Don't worry, it's still a bit ugly. We wouldn't fix that.

Ducts design around M2 bolt holes does not allow enough space for M2 head #17

Closed pajtaz closed 2 months ago

pajtaz commented 9 months ago

In ducts design where M2 bolts go through the ducts to attach the fans, there is only 1.5mm of space between center of M2 bolt hole and two walls of the duct. DIN 912 M2 bolt head is minimum 3.62mm and maximum 3.8mm diameter. Several users have reported M2 bolts not fitting and causing splitting of the duct wall.

See attached photo from latest CAD. Ducts M2 head

When this is sliced with 100% line width, 0.4mm nozzle, one of the walls ends up with only two perimeters. See attached picture from the slicer preview. Slicer preview

No longer an issue with the release on 2024-06-19. These screws are no longer needed with combined ducts/HE mount design.
