Introduction: Photon Mono 'Top Cover Support' (V2)

By

Hello,
this is a simple accessory to support the top cover of the Anycubic Photon Mono. It can be easily adapted to other printers or similar devices.

Printing the 3 parts takes about 2 hours, using PLA is ok. If the screw holes are well printed, tapping the M3 threads is not required as the screws should be able to auto-tap.

Printing it with PLA is easy and there are no special considerations.

Version 2 greatly reduces the space required at the rear. Version 1 required about 15 cm of clearance and version 2 requires only about 6 cm.

Happy making :-)

Supplies

Some PLA, 2 M3x16 screw, 2 M3x8 screws (can be replaced by M3 headless screws).

Step 1: Tapping the Threads

Threads of A holes is not needed or must be only 2 to 3 mm deep, the

Place the screws in the hole B.

You can use headless or regular screws, as shown in the picture.

Step 3: Asssemble the Pieces.


Tighten the screw just enough so that the arms can swing freely. The screw should auto-lock provided the thread is not too deep.

Step 4: Remove the Cover
