More than “possible", what baffles me is that it’s just plain easy.
Printers have evolved into ready to use tools, and you can just hit print and let it do it’s thing…
Sure there’s been a constant improvement on speed and quality for the past 10 years, but it’s reliability and ease of use refinements that take the cake for the past 1-2 years
I mean, these plates are the perfect example of what 2025 brought us : I generated the design with AI, and then let the printer do the job (including filament change) , used default settings and still obtained a print quality far above anything my old printers could ever produce…
Oh yes, I love it most and that plaque is mounted securely in my workshop (OK it’s leaning against a bottle on top of a cupboard, but it will be mounted securely one day). Sadly though, as I remember it the print quality looked as though it had been thrashed out with a 0.6mm nozzle!
That lower green trim just makes the finish look on this one. I really really like that.
If heat is a concern, space the plates off from the side about 3 mm so it will allow air flow. My pretty peter “plates” are printed as hex infill with no top or bottom layers so they act as a mesh to hide the motors on the visible side of the lowrider and the steppers never get hot but they lack that really polished look that I think is captured with this multicolor set. Really nice!
My sleeved cables can in fact go through th small chanel under the YZ plate by feeding them through rather than trying to insert them through the tiny slot
So I did just that, and unsleeved the last part of the endstop wire so that it fits through the slot
I added an extra brace over what the Strut calculator calls for on my personal build. Mostly depends on which control board you are running. The SKR needs more room than the Jackpot does.
