Base-plate parts

Tools:

• CNC Laser Cutter (x1)

Parts:

• Acrylic stock: 650 x 400 x 8 mm Acrylic Sheet (x1)
• M5 x 10 mm Button Head Screw (x3)
  • You can use shorter ones if the baseplate has threaded holes for these screws.

Step 1: Cut the baseplate

Cut the baseplate using 8 mm acryllic stock.

Files for cutting can be generated from the FreeCAD model of the baseplate:

• DXF: BASEPLATE-v3.dxf
• STEP: BASEPLATE-v3.step

Instructions for laser cutting and generating DXF files are available in our knowledgebase.

Step 2: Add mounting screws

Screw 3 M5 x 10 mm Button Head Screws to the underside of the baseplate.

Secure them with M5 nuts if necessary from the top side.
