Add tmrmn/CRTouch-shell

Open dennistimmermann opened this issue 3 years ago • 6 comments

  • [x] The mod, firmware configuration or slicer profile is in the correct category folder. Printable mods go to printer_mods/, firmware configurations go to firmware_configurations/, slicer profiles go to slicer_profiles/. Create a subfolder with your name, and place the mods in a subfolder with a descriptive name within that folder, e.g.: /printer_mods/FHeilmann/flux_capacitor
  • [x] Folders names MUST NOT contain spaces. If possible, make sure file names also do not contain any spaces.
  • [x] For each mod, add a small README.md file to its folder with a short description of what the mod accomplishes. This readme can be used to add pictures, give assembly instructions or specify a bill of materials if the mod requires additional hardware.
  • [x] The PR modifies the top-level README.md of the category folder adding the contribution to the table. Read the top part of the file for instructions on how to do this. Please preserve the alphabetical ordering while adding new rows. Make sure to fill out the compatibility matrix to indicate which versions of the Voron printer the submission is compatible with.
  • [x] The mod/configuration/profile has been tested by the person submitting the mod and/or other Voron users. Make sure to add information about how the mod was tested below.
  • [x] The mod is not merely a slight modification of an official Voron part, configuration or profile (i.e. an official Voron part with a few mm added or removed or a slicer profile which only modifies a few values). (When in doubt, contact one of the admins in the Voron discord before submitting the PR)
  • [x] Submitted STLs are printable without support. (If the mod does not meet this criterion join the Voron discord and ask the other users for advice on how to modify the mod such that it does not require supports)
  • [x] Submitted STL files are not corrupt. (This can be tested by opening the STL in PrusaSlicer and checking if mesh errors are reported.)
  • [x] Submitted STL files are oriented and scaled properly for printing.
  • [x] Submitted firmware configs or slicer profiles contain no sensitive data (e.g. API keys).

Which mods/configurations/profiles are added by this PR?

Added tmrmn/CRTouch-shell - a replacement housing for the Creality CR Touch to fit the Voron X-carriage

How was it tested?

So far about 50h print time on my printer

Any background context you want to provide?

Further notes

The configuration example should not be named printer.cfg as that could be very confusing for newcomers. Please give it a different name, perhaps the name of your mod?

This bit ends up being an unsupported perimeter. I'd recommend making the chamfer bigger to extend all the way to the perimeter and making a 0.2 deep step forced bridge for printability.

Otherwise it's a really great idea and execution, I hope the fixes can get done so we can put it in.

Could you maybe go into detail about the forced bridge? I could add this step, covering 50% of the hole. This would leave only straight lines when bridging. The excess perimeters would just break away when installing the screw.

crtouch-bridging

That's actually really close. All you would need is to make that extra piece 0.8mm (2 lines) wide. Then it would create a bridge to support the outer edge of the circle and that would be sufficient.

@dennistimmermann still want this merged? or do you want to close it? If you want it merged you also need to include a .step or .scad file in addition to the comment above from bdbell.
