individual components in scad? #9

Closed robssm closed 7 years ago

Tobben,

I think perhaps the eyelet pillars on the botttom plate may benefit from some added ribs to increase the rigidity in some areas, maybe even the motor mounts also?

Can we get the scad for the bottom plate so it may be edited and reinforced?

I realize its all overkill, however, with the manner in which I am going to implement the hangprinter, this may become an issue ie in a heated enclosure.

Enforcing ribs is a good idea! The areas around the hole for the worm could also need some reinforcement.

An alternative way to reinforce is to control the level of infill. Modifiers in Slic3r is a good tool for that.
