Photon Mono 'Top Cover Support' (V2)

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 :-)

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

Threads of A holes is not needed or must be only 2 to 3 mm deep, the
remaining length being used to lock the screw. This will allow free movement of the arms with the screws tightened.

Place the screws in the hole B.

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

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

Remove the cover by unscrewing the 2 screws

Insert the main pieces (A)

Set the height to 5 cm from the top of the cover.

Lightly tighten the height blocking screws, just enough to prevent main part A from moving.

Enjoy and share :-)
