Dust cover for Ophir heads
- Thread starter ARG
- Start date
I was thinking of something similar out of kydex. Just heat and bend.
I have one of Mrcrouse's excellent total coverage heatsinks for mine. My thought was to have a small tab the would ride on the fin of the heatsink and wrap around the front of the Ophir. I'm not sophisticated enough to provide a drawing though but if I make one I will post pics.

One more reason to buy a 3d printer. I keep thinking about it but just can't pull the trigger yet. Someone was making a 3d scanner (maker bot?), if that tech gets good enough for the real world, I'm in. I hate trying to do anything with cad type software.
We got one...it's super not exciting. Every scan kinda looks like cottage cheese....I just draw up all the parts I need printed in Autodesk Inventor- great 3D CAD program. Not very easy to learn, but I had basically a whole year long class on it.
I spent the whole last day of 2013 and the first day of 2014 building this. Don't know yet if it'll work. :na:
As for the Ophir cover, I've been using a swing type cover made from aluminum no need to fumble with removing something to uncover.

Ooooh! Nice! The Rostock is what I was looking at building, but a couple lasers robbed me of my money (and by a couple I mean...4)
Anymore, I would rather pay 600$ for a pre built solidoddle-that has a warrantee- than build my own. Keep me updates on your process! The printer I work with now is a Cubify Cubex, which is incredible, but I don't have experience with building a printer from scratch. Hope it works well! How much did it cost you total?

Sorry ARG. I'm just going to answer crazyspaz's last post then I'll stop derailing this thread
It's actually my friend's. I think he got it for around $1k plus shipping to here which was maybe another $200-300. I just built it for him but I will get unlimited use off of it just need to supply my own filament.
