Awesome!

Are your source files available?

Thanks!

Of course they are available…
Very little time this moment, I have to modify them on some minor points, but I will put those drawings here within a few days.
Also got the original Vertex size drawings remade for use with MDF (Jakemog22 is going to use them).

But keep in mind that MDF has a rather soft surface so you have to use a washer between every nut!

Jep, my order will be arriving tomorrow or tuesday. Can’t wait :wink:

This zip-file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mk9t0zf9r1cy5ua/Vertex%20XL%2BORIGINAL.zip?dl=0 contains the Vertex XL and ORIGINAL drawings to lasercut in MDF. I used the Illustrator (.ai) files, the pdf is just to take a look if you don’t use Illustrator.

Notice that not all lasercutters are the same and so they can demand their own drawing-requirements.
This drawings meet the following requirements:

  1. Line thickness 0,2 mm
  2. Cut-color: RGB 0 0 255 (blue)
  3. Engraving color: RGB 255 0 0 (red)
  4. Ignore color (for instance text): RGB 128 128 128 (grey)

And maybe you have to modify the XL drawings for your own situation. I made the following modifications for my own use:

  1. Custom holes in the bottom panel for my own PSU
  2. A hole for a switch in the left panel
  3. A hole for a euro power connector in the rear panel
  4. Adjustable holes for the Z-axis endstop in the rear panel.
  5. 2 sets of holes in the rear panel for a printed bearing holder to guide the threaded rod on top and just above the coupler.

The switch and connector holes are not made for a particular type. I used some old stuff and printed a housing around it. So maybe you have to buy these parts first before lasercutting, to know they fit.

Good luck
(And yes, the use of this files is entirely your own responsibility.)
