I have recently been updating my\u00a0Sketchup<\/a>\u00a0model and printed out a few more of pieces.<\/p>\n

First up was a mount for the air solenoid and water inlet\/outlet barbs<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

here with the various items attached, ready to be installed in the frame.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Next I decided I wanted to make use of a sheet of copper clad PCB to mount the relays, steppers and other small circuit boards, so I printed a couple of brackets to hold the PCB in place<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

here with the actual PCB attached<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

I also decided that I wanted to make use of a laser module to help with alignment that would drop into place when the lid was open. For this I made use of a design by Daniel Bauen<\/a>, that had been updated by Ben Jackson and made available on Thingiverse<\/a>, and then recreated it in Sketchup<\/a> and then printed this as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

here is the assembled printed version.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

I wanted to make use of\u00a0Scott Schwarts<\/a>‘\u00a0Arduino control, but I chose to use a Capacative rather than a resistive screen, rotate the panel 90 degrees, and added some extra buttons and status indicators, so had to modify quite a bit of the code.<\/p>\n

I also couldn’t persuade Scott’s code, for loading the startup images, to work so I replaced it with the drawBMP call from the Adafruit ImageReader library that was being loaded anyway.<\/p>\n

I decided to print the Arduino holder that Scott had designed, however it appears that the hole for the 9v connector is on the wrong face (bottom rather than side).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

after a few seconds on the milling machine, I made a cutout on the correct face, rather than re print it.<\/p>\n

The Arduino and shields all fit nicely, however I believe the sides may be a bit too tall to allow for the skins on the cutter and also allow for use of the bezel, so I may yet machine these down as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Shown here with everything enabled<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

I have also been designing a rear connector panel for power into the cutter as well as outputs for the water pump, blower, USB and network connections.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

This is intended to be a piece of 3mm perspex and I will probably use the cutter itself to cut all of the holes in this panel.<\/p>\n
