Before you start · Batch B09 — Panels, filtration, spool

Revali watching a first layer
Panels, filtration and a spool holder. Five short plates, back to back, and none of them dramatic.

Time: 21.8 h (5 plates) — PrusaSlicer 2.9.6 estimates.

Sessions: 5 plate starts (~5 min hands-on each, 3.9–4.9 h unattended) + ~15 min inspect and bin, plus the panel-clip test on kit day.

Prerequisites: Gate A (as for B08, on the current GT2 belts) and B08: the run ends B08 → B09 → B10 back to back. No bearing seat here, so Gate B is not needed.

Caution

Panel-clip mapping is an inference, not a stated spec. Back panel: 4 corner + 3 midspan → _4mm_x8 / _4mm_x7. Top panel: 4 corner + 4 midspan → also drawn from the _4mm set per the manual's illustrated counts. Each side panel: 4 corner + 4 midspan → _6mm_x8 / _6mm_x8. The arithmetic lands exactly, and there is no committed plate that prints a single clip, so the test is at Step B09.12 after printing, on kit day (it needs an extrusion, a panel offcut and the foam tape). The ways it fails: a clip too loose for its panel-plus-tape → the panel rattles; too tight → it will not seat. Worst case a wrong guess costs one 4.3 h plate (56 g).

You are not building the Voron exhaust filter (76 g, 4.5 h saved). Use exhaust_cover.stl (LDO) + exhaust_filter_grill.stl (Voron) to seal the back panel. Skip exhaust_filter_housing, [a]_exhaust_filter_mount_x2, [a]_filter_access_cover, [a]_exhaust_fan_grill.

Nevermore, exactly which files: the plenum/lid are STLs; the cartridge and its lid are 3MF files in the same folder (PrusaSlicer imports them fine). Use the Regular cartridge, not XL — XL wants carbon pellets and a faster/louder fan. 8× 6×3 mm magnets, 6× M3 heat-sets. The cartridge has a built-in support you push out, not cut.

Hardware: none.

Read first

  • Checkpoint after B09: Nevermore plenum lid must slide in its groove; cartridge must snap onto the plenum (both testable now). Panel clips: the 4 mm vs 6 mm test waits for kit day (Step B09.12).
  • Brims already in the projects: 3 mm on V2_Duo_Plenum (P1), Regular_Cartridge and exhaust_cover (P2), exhaust_filter_grill (P3); none on the clip plates P4/P5. Verify the outline in the preview; never add one.
  • Most commonly reprinted here: the 6 mm corner clips, if the foam tape choice changes.
  • Back and top panels use 1 mm foam tape (3 mm panel + 1 mm tape = 4 mm); side panels use 3 mm foam tape (3+3 = 6 mm, "to prevent the gantry from rubbing on the panels").
