Jeffeb3 Low Rider V3 Build Thread

I built a nice little power box for it. This area was previously taken up by the LR1 parts. But it is free to use now that the gantry is all on the table.

The right side is a commercial 120VAC power strip. I will plug the router in there and it will be my estop as well. This has a 10 foot cord and reaches the wall and then some. I don’t plan on hooking the dust collection to this. But I bet it would be fine. I have a bunch of extra ports for the air compressor and the laser PSU, or whatever I will use the table for when it isn’t a CNC table.

The left side is a box with a little power meter, a power supply for the pi, a switch to kill power to just the skr/motors, and a nice little cable disconnect so I can remove the LR.

This is what is inside the box. I am using wagu connectors. They seem pretty nice. Very flexible compared to crimps and they can deliver a lot more current.

A pic of the underside of the table. I have a vertical support made from 3/4" plywood right there. So I just drilled some holes and ran some zip ties through to attach the PSU and the cables.

The box and the power strip are held with wood screws (1" #6, they aren’t going anywhere).
