Great for V2.4! Almost a compulsory mod for 350mm size

Very awesome, thanks for the remix ! Was concerned about the built-in support not being hollow, glad it was already fixed by someone 😄 One suggestion I may have is maybe make the access holes a bit larger, my Wera allen key wouldn't fit in there and I had to go find a "normal" one. Maybe an M5 version could be an idea as well?

Can we get a 6mm compatible version for 3mm ACM panel with 3mm foam?

Another MUST HAVE mod for the 2.4. Now i can finally work on the electronics bay without balancing the printer in an awkward angle against the wall. The design looks cool and blends with the rest of te printer. I'm so happy now! I've delayed so many mods because it was a pain to work on the electronics bay, now it's a breeze!!!

Looks great, makes accessing the electronics much easier

I might be stupid right now, but how are you supposed to do the multi color?
Do you need ERCF and pause the print? Also the mm-left.stl version is oriented so the built in support is up, i guess it should be down on the build plate?

very useful and nice looking

Printed in PLA and already the most useful mod on my machine!

I wonder what material is best. Like PLA+, PETG, ABS or ASA? If I understand the CNC Kitchen video correctly, PLA(+) is the strongest. But don't know if it's just fine for this?

@Johan501 Use whatever you like, anything except flexibles and solveables should work just fine. (edited)

@Johan501 PCTG (although PETG is a close second), in terms of impact resistance and layer strength. Have to print hottest possible, which is tricky to do because hot makes stringing worse, bridging/overhangs worse, etc. Probably overkill. This only applies outside the heated chamber. If it gets pretty warm, PCTG/PETG tends to deform sooner than ASA/ABS (edited)

so easy putting my machine on her back with these. really happy with the ease of use. Now I'm no longer put off making a mod that involves work in the electronics underneath! I also don't break my back trying to lift it. My machine is located in a compact space on a platform and so I simply walk it forward on its legs, unplug a couple of cords, rock it back, unscrew the base and hinge it down to easily work underneath. When I'm finished it is really simple to get it back on its feet. (edited)

@SimplifiedLife awesome, thx for the feedback! 😁 Haha i have a VT 350 with a 350mm Z axiz, so I'll reasure you you i ABSOLUTELY have the same issue 💩 I've designed a quick release "system" i'm doing the trial runs on now. It mounts on the corner(s) of 2020 extrusions, and i have a filament mount done for it allready but I'm going to make a set of "service" arms/legs to solve this 😅

@Exerqtor_82339 lol. yeah, maybe integrate wheels and a trolley handle 😅
But if you do come up with something... ping me as I still need to finish building my 0.2 before I'll be opening up CAD again to sort this
