ShapeOKO Pro XL Fill Boards

[WillAdams (William Adams (Carbide 3D))]

I’ve used it:

A different sort of filler strip

Decided I wanted a slightly more efficient usage and mounting of filler strips, so this is what I came up with: the existing strips were cut off a bit shy of the working area at a 45 degree angle, and additional holes added to secure them just short of where the angle meets the baseplate underneath the wasteboard strips were then cut at a 45 degree angle so as to fit snugly underneath at the back, and at the front to fit, and a hole with a countersink to accommodate a nylon bolt was cut in the…

and it works well, esp. when one designs the T-track setup around available widths so that the boards only need to be cut to length.

I will note that the 4x8 sheets are much cheaper, even when one factors in cutting losses — if I were using my XL more I’d’ve bought a full sheet cut into thirds, faced off the wood grain if need be and used that.
