Bill of Materials

This page covers what you need to know before sourcing parts for an OmniBox. At the end of the page, several sample bills of materials are included, as well.

We cannot (yet) generate a complete, customized Bill of Materials on-demand, but there is a Print Checklist that contains each type of part to print, how many, and a link to the relevant Options & Support page. Every support page entry contains a bill of materials. These quantities can be added to give a total.

The examples given on this page are included give a general idea of what to expect.

Fasteners

Cap Screws

OmniBox is largely compatible with both M3 socket head cap screws (SHCS) and button head cap screws (BHCS). Core assembly has several recessed screw holes that are not compatible with button head screws; otherwise, the two are interchangeable.

All sourcing links are for SHCS.

Note

Power supplies mount using M4 screws. These are the only M4 screws needed in a build.

Stock vs. HSI

Printed parts are are either "Stock", where screws thread into the printed plastic, or "HSI", where heat set inserts accept screws instead. Heat set insert (HSI) parts do not wear out with use but require purchasing and installing inserts.

Most components come with both Stock and HSI variants. Those with only one variant are typically Stock-only.

Stock

Stock case builds use #6 x 3/4" (or M3 x 20mm) sharp point wood screws to hold the Main Body and Base together. Equivalent length machine screws can be used if sharp point screws are unavailable.

Heat Set Inserts

OmniBox exclusively uses M3 x 5mm O.D. x 4mm Length ("Voron-style") heat set inserts. User-contributed parts that require inserts also use these inserts.

Most heat set inserts are installed into open-ended holes, allowing longer-than-specified screws to be used if necessary, e.g., M3 x 8mm instead of 6mm.

Electrical

IEC Sockets and Fuses

Warning

IEC socket fuses do not replace the fuses on your board or inline fuses.

Most Bases mount a fused IEC C14 power inlet in the back. Users will typically want to fuse with fast or medium blow fuses on the socket.

The Oznium blog has an excellent guide on choosing a fuse size.

Power Switch

The Base comes with several power switch options. Not all power supplies and switches are compatible; check the PSU Tray to determine which switch to use with your power supply.

Wiring

  • Wiring is specified for a configuration including an IEC power socket, power switch, and power supply.
  • Additional connectors and wiring may be needed, including grounding your bed/frame to earth.
  • All wiring and fusing considerations are configuration-specific.

Minimal Builds

The lists below are starting points to determine what you will need for your own build. These lists are made by combining the materials lists from a 36mm Base and a Main Body.

  • A complete Core case (Main Body and Base)
  • Fasteners to mount all panels
  • Fasteners to mount an MCU tray
  • IEC power inlet
  • No power switch
