      MY ENDER 3 DEMON DUCT

      This is for a fellow 3D printer who needed a little help with his junk. It's made from a combination of a thingiverse model and some of my solid modeling. 

      This is my design for 80mm case fan elbows. 45 degrees and 90. one style will link 2 fans together and another will mount 1 fan to a fan opening. The purpose is to keep the fans bearings in the correct orientation. Some bearings will wear out prematurely from hanging vertically.

      SIDES ARE ANGLED FOR NO GAP OVERLAP.

      THIS IS 100% MY DESIGN... NO ONE ELSE HAS ANYTHING LIKE IT.

      IT'S FOR MOUNTING THE DUST SHOE ABOVE TO THE GANTRY OF THE X-CARVE AND CAN BE USED WITH EITHER THE 20mm EXTRUSION OR THE 1 INCH EXTRUSION.

      SAME AS ABOVE BUT MORE MEAT AROUND THE BEARING AND MORE RELIEF FOR THE NUTS.

      USE 16mm O.D. X 8mm I.D. X 5mm WIDE BEARINGS.

      * * * PLEASE READ LICENSING ABOVE

      These are stackable and have a cap. No ramps inside to get jammed up in. maximum storage room. Has letter A inserts to print a different color. Glue on the RED side cover after fit tested.

        This is for those with tall aftermarket linear rails. The higher it goes, the more it's unsupported by the gantry extrusion. It' can flex. this helps eliminate that. build and print at your own risk. Use M5 or #12 hardware. You will have to make your own links between the 2 sets of brackets.

        ** revised 1/12/2018. Made the clearance for the belt a little bigger. increased the M3 hole clearance. made the cover universal and symmetrical.

        I designed this from scratch. Meant for 5050 LEDs and 1/8" acrylic panels. Lengths of straight from 3" to 8" in half inch increments. mount with M5 screw. holes for wires to pass thru. panel will be 0.75" longer than the total length of straight pieces on that side. No supports needed.

          Revised 11/6/2018

          This is for the Ender 3 3D printer. In the front is the ribbon cable that leads to the display. There are clips available for that but none that can also fit an SD card adaptor ribbon cable too. Bend the SD adaptor ribbon cable into a C shape and slide it into the clip first. then the display cable the same way. This design has not been tested yet, but I will very soon. I included the STEP file so you can modify it in Fusion 360 if need be.

          STICKS DOWN ONLY 3mm BELOW 20X20 EXTRUSION

          Here is a quick disconnect mount for the X-CARVE that holds a pen or pencil.

          A rubber band goes thru the cap and around the hooks. tie knots in the rubber band for adjustable tension. Use M4x10mm thumb screws to secure it to the DeWalt 611 mount. The pencil may need to be shimmed with paper wrapped around it to ensure a good fit since it's made to fit pens also.

          Buy me a shot!

          This is a gentleman who needed a prop for a mini model. a couple of variations. without the loops, without the grip detail. loops by themselves.

          This is my design for a cover to go over an 80mm or 120mm case fan to exhaust the laser fumes thru a 1.5" I.D. shop vac line. has places for zip ties to mount it on 4 sides and a place for the wires to come out. You can stack multiple fans for added force.

              MY WALL slim MOUNTED EDGE LIGHT BRACKET SYSTEM 

              UNTESTED. ONCE PROVEN IT WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR TURN KEY PURCHASE

              One person has experienced the 30mm hex head bolt slip inside the slot. though this is probably an isolated incident and was only on one end clip, I designed a plug to be glued into place to completely lock the hex head from all side. If you do experience slipping, you can also just flow some super glue into the slot. It will take up all the space. I will test and include 3 of them with all orders once verified.

              Same as above but 1.2mm wall thickness instead of 3mm.

              I designed this from scratch based link below (my file from scratch). 2 lengths. designed to use an M5x30mm hex head screw and an M5 T nut. Also for the knob, I used the bridging technique from makers muse.
