Description
Update: STEP File of the entire assembly is in the files section if you want to customize your own inserts or anything else.
All parts were optimized to be printed with a 0.6mm nozzle and use 16mm M5 button head screws (except below) and M5 2020 T Nuts.
-PSU mount bracket needs a 10mm screw to mount to the frame and should be printed solid so you can drill the needed holes for your PSU.
-- I added a PSU mount for PSU's that don't have screw mounts on the back. Just use double sided tape and a zip tie with to hold the PSU to the mount.
Main tower aluminum is 2040 extrusion and will need to be tapped for an M5 screw in 4 places. 2 at the bottom for the base and 2 at the top for the top shelf backstop. I use 600mm long extrusion for 3 shelf builds and 400mm for 2 shelf builds. I put foam strips on each shelf and in 4 spots under the base to help keep the cars in place and prevent the stand from rocking on uneven surfaces.
If you want to add lights the shelves are designed so you can install 12v RV lights into the bottom and secure them with small plastic screws on the edge of the light. Remove the spring tabs that come on them.
There is a 2 part base if your print bed is under 300mmx300mm
The 4 M5 holes in the shelf are going to be for an adapter to to use a shelf for chargers (or whatever) if people want to do that but I have not designed any trays yet.
Supports are only needed for the counter-bored screw holes on the base and the shelf backstop. Everything else doesn't need them or will bridge.
Apologies for model orientation. If I get time I will fix it but until then you will have to do a little rotating and flipping in your slicer for many parts.
