Enclosing the high voltage compartment (bottom) #119

Closed bmgoncu closed 2 years ago

While the voron v0.1 is a great machine to tinker and build upon, there is a glaring safety issue of the exposed mains voltage compartment. The stock printer should include a solution where one can enclose the bottom with a 230mmx230mm acrylic sheet to keep fingers away whilst handling or moving the machine around.

For experienced users this may not be an issue but considering the popularity of this version many novice tinkerers will build this printer.

there are no exposed high voltage sources. psu terminals have a cover and all connections are spec'd to use correct fully insulated terminals. skirts also extend far enough down to prevent stray fingers from reaching the electrical cabinet.

it is never recommended to service or move the machine without first powering down the printer.

at the end of the day this is not a UL certified machine and it must be treated with a level of respect that any DIY mains voltage project would deserve.
