Shapeoko 5.1 Pro

Slowly updating models to be compatible with the 5.1 front frame rail and the available holes on the legs. Also iterating on the Jog Pendant Hanger. A few revising to make things fit multiple places. Added a VESA 100mm pattern to the Rii Mini Kepad holder so I can place it behind my monitor. Since I got the Jog Pendant I don’t use it quite as much.

Let us know when you post the files to your Etsy. I will definitely be purchasing the hanger and the emergency stop Mount

Josh, thank you for the photos of your early prototype jog pendant. It is interesting to see how the case progressed from there to the production version. (And I would really like to upgrade to @WillAdams graphics-embedded, fuzzy case front…)

I will note, the changes you see on my prototype pendant vs the production version, are mine.

I broke the case and Winston was kind enough to send me the file to reprint. I don’t know if it 100% matches the final version. I added the colors because my beta didn’t have the buttons with printed markings. We have a production version for our Shapeokos at work (S4Pro and HDM V1) and I like the silk screened buttons better. I also added the logo just because. :wink: I understand why they don’t do multi-color printing because the failure rate is higher and colors can string and cause cosmetic blemishes. So don’t take the visual differences to be C3D’s. :slight_smile:

Never had an issue printing multi colors (PLA/PETG) on my X1C. Sounds like a moisture issue to me, try a filament drier if you still have issues.

It’s a numbers game with small features on the bed. Printing hundreds of the same part, especially in PETG, which is the proper material for this job, then you’re going to have more tiny features detatch and have more strings get embedded in that first layer. I even have a specific PETG starting GCODE that slightly squishes it into the bed to really help labeling stick and fill without gaps.

I’ve been 3D printing for 13 years and have a Bambu X1C myself, as well as 2 at work making scientific experiment parts. I dry all filaments before printing, especially PETG and TPU. :slight_smile: Single color on the first layer is just more esthetically reliable.
