Description
I really like the original but I wanted to print it with more precise dimensions and different colours and by breaking up the design I was able to do just that!
I added an extra micro SD card slot and tightened up the nozzle holes. I also stretched the front to help better hide the open end of the aluminum extrusion. After that I made the outer dimensions of the drawer fit a bit closer to the aluminum extrusion so there is less play around it and it runs quite smoothly.
The drawer insert has very close clearances drawn in but if your printer tends to print a bit bigger you may want to apply a slight horizontal off-set to the drawer itself.
It should all print well without supports but I did use some supports on the front just to be sure that the dowel holes would print within tolerances.
I hope you enjoy this design! Have fun and be sure to post a make when you're done!
Printer Brand:
Creality
Printer:
Ender 3
No
Supports:
Doesn't Matter
0.2
Infill:
20-30%
Notes:
You may want to use a brim and z-hops on the drawer section as this is a very tall and narrow print that may get knocked loose.
The filament I used to make the front is Overture's Midnight Black which I find matches the black plastic elements of the Ender 3 v2 very well.
After all three parts are finished, you simply need to slide the drawer insert into the top of the drawer and then glue the front on with bevel facing up. Then remove the cover from the end of the extrusion and slide it in!
