Followed the story from the initial release of the Prusa Box, and now onto the Spool Tank.

Printed in Azure blue PETG, here is a list of items fitted.

  • Rubber feet dampers from Printer Box – these are excellent.
  • 12v LEDs
  • 12v 140mm extractor fan (have used both the PrinterBox recommended version and Noctua IPPC3000) with filters
  • PWM speed controller for fan (also used the dedicated Noctua fan control module)
  • W1219 temperature control module
  • 40mm bottom intake fan with modified vent guide under the Einsey board
  • 30mm 12v x2 fans attached to the PSU to help draw air through for cooling PSU. Also have a rocker switch override at rear for these fans.
  • Relay board (using Octo Relay) with LEDs, 30mm PSU fans attached. LEDs turn on when Pi starts up, and turn off when a print finishes. The 30mm fans (which are a bit loud) also turn on at start of a print and off at the end. 
  • Modular front with Prusa main screen, 5″ Waveshare DSI screen and Pi 3B+. Plus 3 front switches. Top – override for LEDs, middle – turns W1219 on/off, bottom, override for the main 140mm extractor (allows me to print ASA/ABS with Einsey fan running but main extractor off).
  • Also added LED light for Pi, and Pi soft shut down button.
  • Webcam – have varied between Wyzecam, Logitech C270 and now looking to install Logitech C920.
  • Spool Tank – modified with 10mm bearings for a very smooth action. Reduced the capacity from 6 rollers to 5 to handle wider spools, and moved the rollers further apart to allow the rolls to sink lower in the box – required as rollers with bearings are fatter.  Added heating to the spool tank.

Hope to be adding the modular front centering plate at some point.
