I chose Stainless Steel on my first version, and I did actually tap it with a M4 Spiral Tap with Tap Magic.
-
SCS Minimum order is $29, so buy two and share with a friend.
-
You can get two plates laser cut, deburred and powder coated for $30.
-
Holes for the fans are sized for M4 tapping, you'll need to DIY.
-
Alternatively, drill out the holes for the fans and use 4mm Self Tapping Fan Screws.
-
Holes for the PTC Heater are sized for M3 3.2mm clearance, no tapping.
-
Holes can also be tapped by SCS, but the price goes up a lot. 😬
-
Holes on the ends are for 2020 mounting, M3 3.2mm clearance.
-
Fits right on top of the bed rails for a 2.4 Voron.
-
5015 Fans so there's 5mm clearance, if you need more room both 5mm and 10mm printed spacers are options.
