Release 0.9.8.1

[jon-harper]

Core

• Print time and material usage is slightly reduced for the front and rear base components.

Panels and Trays

• Lid for filament spools added.
  • An adaptation of my Tighter T.U.S.H. spool holder (a remix of the original T.U.S.H.).
  • It mounts on a lid that integrates the spool holder guide.
  • The guide makes the spool holder adjustable to spool width (up to about 120mm).
• Lid for dryboxes added.
  • Fitted for Rubbermaid 21 cup container used as a 1kg spool drybox.
  • These containers are about $10 each at Ace Hardware. They are more expensive on Amazon.
  • There are often clones of these on Amazon that are similarly priced (about $8-10 ea).
  • May have lids for other containers in the near future as a user contribution.
• Raspberry Pi CPU trays have a version with a 6-pin Micro Fit 3 panel mount cutout.
  • Allow using an ADXL345 accelerometer via SPI.
  • Cutout is on the tray to give shortest wiring run possible.

Experimental Hardware Support

These parts still need to be tested for fit and other issues.

Hardware	Mount Location(s)	Notes
Mean Well RSP-500 power supply	Main body	For the Ender 5 Plus
92mm fans	Rear panel, lid	25mm thickness; no compatible mount yet.

New Hardware Support

This hardware is now fit-tested as working.

Hardware	Mount Location(s)	Notes
Fotek SSR-60 DA solid state relay	Lower bay
Raspberry Pi TFTs	Display mount or half-lid	See below.

Note: Smaller TFTs (e.g., BigTreeTech's 5" PiTFT) will fit on the standard half-lid. Use the "XL" STL file for the official 7" and similarly large TFTs.

Documentation & Repository

• Documentation site
  • Modified color scheme and fonts for readability.
  • Added new dark color theme.
  • Implemented several Material for Mkdocs features, including icons to help with part identification.
  • Improved site navigation.
• Repository
  • Reorganized lids folder into "Full-Length" and "Half-Lenth" subfolders.
  • Added more readme.md files for folders.

Known Issues

• The front main body with a 40mm intake fan partially obscures a mounting hole for the base to the main body. This leave seven (7) other mount points and is not a significant issue. The hole can safely be left empty.

Digging the new documentation!

as an aside, what is the channel on the rear base opposite from the power socket for? is it just a screw hole with a bend in it?

[jon-harper]

Thanks! I really wanted to make assembly and finding info easier.

Oh, yeah, that hole is for the rear panel. It only went in partway from the rear. I punched out that curve so that supports can be removed by pushing them through.
