0.9.8.1 Release

Version 0.9.8.1 was released on 2022-09-15.

Core

  • Print time and material usage is slightly reduced for the front and rear base components.

Panels and Trays

  • Lid for filament spools added.
    • An adaptation of my Tighter T.U.S.H. spool holder (a remix of the original T.U.S.H.).
    • It mounts on a lid that integrates the spool holder guide.
    • The guide makes the spool holder adjustable to spool width (up to about 120mm).
  • Lid for dryboxes added.
    • Fitted for Rubbermaid 21 cup container used as a 1kg spool drybox.
    • These containers are about $10 each at Ace Hardware. They are more expensive on Amazon.
    • There are often clones of these on Amazon that are similarly priced (about $8-10 ea).
    • May have lids for other containers in the near future as a user contribution.
  • Raspberry Pi CPU trays have a version with a 6-pin Micro Fit 3 panel mount cutout.
    • Allow using an ADXL345 accelerometer via SPI.
    • Cutout is on the tray to give shortest wiring run possible.

Experimental Hardware Support

These parts still need to be tested for fit and other issues.

Hardware Mount Location(s) Notes
Mean Well RSP-500 power supply Main body For the Ender 5 Plus
92mm fans Rear panel, lid 25mm thickness; no compatible mount yet.

New Hardware Support

This hardware is now fit-tested as working.

Hardware Mount Location(s) Notes
Fotek SSR-60 DA solid state relay Lower bay
Raspberry Pi TFTs Display mount or half-lid See below.

Note: Smaller TFTs (e.g., BigTreeTech's 5" PiTFT) will fit on the standard half-lid. Use the "XL" STL file for the official 7" and similarly large TFTs.

Documentation & Repository

  • Documentation site
    • Modified color scheme and fonts for readability.
    • Added new dark color theme.
    • Implemented several Material for Mkdocs features, including icons to help with part identification.
    • Improved site navigation.
  • Repository
    • Reorganized lids folder into "Full-Length" and "Half-Lenth" subfolders.
    • Added more readme.md files for folders.

Known Issues

  • The front main body with a 40mm intake fan partially obscures a mounting hole for the base to the main body. This leave seven (7) other mount points and is not a significant issue. The hole can safely be left empty.
