UPDATED WITH STRONGER HINGE SECTION
2023/05/11

  • THICKER AND STRONGER HINGES (18mm WIDE)
  • MODIFIED REAR CORNER SECTIONS
  • SLIGHTLY WIDER CONNECTOR PIECE (NOW 5mm)

I got tired of breaking my top-hat every time I wasn't paying attention when pulling parts out of the printer..... This should fix it for good.
Also, I printed mine in Jabil PA 4500 Nylon. This stuff is CRAZY tough. (Now if I could only get it matching sparkle green, hmmmm......)

Enjoy.

 

 

REVISION: Small change in front frame lip, moved 2mm forward to give more printhead clearance at extreme position, and better fit on some top-hats. See file "TOPHAT SPACER FL+FR_+2mm_revA"   YMMV - 2022/05/04

 

UPDATE: LED strip holder redesign - 2022/03/22

UPDATE to HINGES.stl file just posted. 2022/03/18

-----------

This project requires the original Voron V0.1 top-hat design.

-------------

Great work by 93djen, but I had some fit issues and wanted more from the design.

The main changes are:

  • hole placements seemed to be just a bit off for my one piece top-hat, so that was compared to the original Voron V0.1 CAD files
  • locating pegs that extend down into the frame (as per the original top-hat)
  • LED ramps on the side that were extended in length to better accommodate 30 LED/m strips
  • slight move on the hinge pivot point holes as they seemed VERY tight and needed to be filed oval to fully close with the original design
  • redesign of segment joints to better match the lip/contour and provide larger glue surface for acetone welding. (yes, I screwed and glued this baby together!)
  • Added cable tie holes to the original top-hat front corners, for LED power routing.
  • Designed for M3 brass heated inserts

 

I just glued the LED carriers to the frame as I trust acetone solvent welding more than cheap adhesive backing at temperatures over 30 C.

STEP files provided for anyone that wants to make changes.

 

Have fun.
