Well…in case you havent already figured it out…I’m an ID10T. Turns out while I thought I was using M8x8mm screws last night, I was actually using M8x10mm screws. So the amazon order of M8x6mm screws arent even needed. Oh well on that front. I have M3x8mm screws on hand. And will need them for the other side panels. But after some time on Fusion360 this morning I came up with a way that (hopefully works) will space the panels down 2mm and give me a secure spot to hold my LEDs on the bottom for edge lighting the side acrylic panels. Cranked up my Ender 5 Plus for the first time in a while and have the first one printing now.
In other news… Turns out @vicious1 knows what the hell he is talking about LOL. I knew that already im just too hard headed to listen. A few of my 2020 extrusions are just a C hair too long. So apart comes the printer to fix what should have been right from the beginning. And had i listened to Ryan and cut them just a touch short it would have been golden. Oh well live and learn lol.
Once these bottom parts are printed, assuming they work like they do in my head, I will print the latest rendition of the top LED Light Bar to have them ready to install once I get it back together.
