P1S P1P X1C RISER - mp5works

Check out my P1S collection for other mods and upgrades:

Objectives:

• Stop PTFE tube from rubbing against the glass
• Introduce more light into the enclosure
• Intergade a clip-on system onto the frame to carry on building future upgrades.

Notes: 

• Designed to print entirely without any supports.
• Due to size of the print I suggest you scale objects accordingly to the material you`re planning on using to accomodate for shrinkage. (As included in my file I have used 100.25% scaling for Bambulab PETG HF, 100.40% for Bambulab TPU 95A and everything fits nice and snug with the main frame and glass panel)
• Attached file is set to print R/H LED cable feed-through. Mirror the objects (only cable feed-through inserts) if you plan on running cable through a left corner instead (tip: Right click on the object in BambuLab studio).
• Please note: (Plate 7) - Print sequence on these parts is set to “by object” for pure aesthetics only. Change it if you feel more comfortable with printing by layer instead. 
• I have opted for a mechanically secured LED strip (Glue/adhesive inside a heated chamber and LED strips hanging right above the fast moving parts sounded like a bad idea). You can use any standard 10mm strip. No soldering required, just make gentle bends/loops around the corners (as included in my photos for your reference) and trim your LED strip to length. 
• Print as many LED hooks you may need and located them as required per your strip (avoid delicate components). Press hooks into the frame until they sit flush.
• Leave adhesive tape sealed on the strip, Adhesive is not required and it will make installation messy.
• TPU gasket extends  over the hooks/LED_strip to make sure strip stays in place and minimize light bleed.
• In case anyone wonder why no air vents included… I built my setup to work with an external exhaust system which can force a lot of air flow if needed and remove all the fumes. 

Main frame assembly:

• Tongue and groove latch has been designed to print snug. 
• No glue/adhesive required.
• Press two parts together as far as you can with your hands at first. Set them on a flat surface (table, desk etc). Use soft sacrificial piece and tap it down gently with a small hammer. You will hear and feel each print layer with each tap. Carry on slowly, layer by layer until both parts are perfectly flush.

Clip-on system:

• I have attached a couple .step files with this project for your CAD. I figured some people would like to design their own upgrades. Attached are couple clips for your reference.
• I have already built several add-ons which I will share next.

I hope that helps.
