Description
A simple modification to AA's sideplate panel for Qidi imate and imates that adds support for 60mm ducting.
There are two versions - one has 6mm holes to use the same magnets that came with the original imates sideplates, and another that uses 8mm magnets I had hundreds of. I wanted the fit to be tight without glue, so I had to sand/file off some tiny burs and strings and then squeeze the magnets into the holes with pliers. You probably won't be able to press it in with your fingers without bending the sheet.
The sideplate has been made thinner so it's a little lighter. It's 2mm thick which means 3mm thick magnets will protrude a bit, personally it doesn't bother me but you can use 2mm if it would.
Finally, the outlet fits right inside 60mm ducting as pictured. The overall goal here was to vent it into my resin tent so fumes will go out the window and not stink up the room when printing ABS and the like.
