Create base plate options for the V0 and Switchwire #3

Closed VinnyCordeiro closed 3 years ago

VinnyCordeiro commented 3 years ago

Voron 0 printers uses 15 mm × 15 mm aluminum profiles, while the Switchwire uses 30 mm × 30 mm or 30 mm × 60 mm profiles. There's a need for new base plates in order to fit these profiles, as right now these only fits 20 mm × 20 mm profiles.

@VinnyCordeiro You know, when I initially did this I forgot to create an issue for this specific issue, but I was aware of this. I used the base model from the enclosure clips to generate the current design. Do you happen to know off the top of your head whether the V0 and VS have equivalent clips for enclosures that I could modify to use?

VinnyCordeiro commented 3 years ago

Switchwire is a bed slinger, so I don't believe it has an enclosure per se on the printer itself (think like an Ender 3 or a Prusa printer), but the V0 do have some clips.

However, now that you mention it, I don't believe that there is space on the front of the V0 (be it the original one or the 0.1) to attach a nameplate. The best option I devise would be modify the front door upper hinge piece:

And after all that, I think this is more work than it's worth to maintain. The files seems unchanged between the revisions, but it's still 3 files to change. But that's me, what do you think about it?

@VinnyCordeiro Someone from thingiverse actually took the time to get a V0 remix created, so I've added it to the project in 505d31e and copied a 2nd scad script that will work with the V0 plates. I'm working on getting it added to the bot now, but I'm closing this issue for now since it is included on this project and the remaining work is on the actual bot itself.

I saw that earlier on the Voron Discord, quite ingenious solution, I must say.
