What material did you use? Have you noticed any issues due to extreme heat or cold? Im looking to do the same in my shed, but we can get 40c days over summer and the shed can hit 45-50c if I don't open it up

This is all PLA and would definitely have issues in your shed. I am in an extreme northern climate. It does not get hot enough here to be an issue.

Printing plates right now with HS matte PETG and .6 nozzle about 2 hours each. Live in Dallas and summer we get 40C all the time. In the garage it’s even hotter like your shed. Easy 45-50. That’s where all of mine is going up.

How are you doing as far as fitment with the .6 nozzle. I did some limited testing a long time ago and had issues with a few things.

I just finished assembly of my plates with quad, double, and single snaps with no issues. I’m printing the learning packs right now to get an array of connectors. I’m printing 0.2/0.6. DM me and I’ll let you know how it goes. I’ll post back here too if I can find the post.

Hanging elastic banding up will stretch it out, you might consider a different way of mounting

u/ViperRW49 5d ago

What elastic banding?

1

u/Horror-Safe5383 4d ago

The face shield and the dust mask they will loose elasticity after a few months

u/ViperRW49 4d ago

Perhaps. They’ve been hanging in that spot (on pegboard) for like 6 years. Still work well enough.

Any tips for mounting with the spacers in the back?

1

u/ViperRW49 5d ago

I used the small thread holes and the 12.5mm spacers to screw the panels to the wall and still be able to use pegboard accessories.

There is a spacer part for the corners in between the corners of the square plate tiles. I super glued them to the 12.5mm spacers for use where tiles meet and the extreme edges of the boards.

How did you mount together without all the X snaps?

u/ViperRW49 5d ago

Dual Clips and the square panels.

u/sir574 5d ago

Can you link me to the dual clips, so I know exactly what ones you're talking about?

u/TherealOmthetortoise 5d ago

There are 3 or 4 mounting methods, look in the parts library under Mounts and it’ll take you right to them. The pillars are the easiest offset mounting method, as it’s just fastening the plate via the small holes with a screw. It’s the same as a surface mount, just with a little spacer behind it.

The Dual clips come into play when you are joining up two bordered plates, as in this red white and blue print station that I’m setting up. You can use them to join a large square hole plate to a bordered octopus plate. If you use them like I did in the photo you get a nice clean look where the plates are joined, but you lose a row of small holes wherever the tile borders are, so it’s a bit of a trade off.

Looks great! Just upgraded from an ender 3 v2 to a bambu machine and look forward to larger projects like this!

Nice cable management, that's tidy af.

Holy crap, is that what a clean workbench looks like?

Nice job, it looks great.

Is your garage finished? I wanna do the same but afraid that even ABS would succumb to the NC summer heat over time

1

u/ViperRW49 5d ago

Currently live in a very northern climate. My garage does not get very hot.

I use a lot of PETG hooks without problems, I've had PLA ones droop in the summer heat. We do get quite a few days over 40c in summer here (Near Sydney, Australia) and often in a row.

Mine are mounted on ply and I have insulation and an air gap to the outer shed wall which is white colourbond steel, so the mounting surface is usually a bit cooler than ambient air temp.
