ACE PRO Sliding Tray for 'Dual Stack' and 'Single Stack'

ACE PRO sliding tray for Dual Stack or Single Stack

This tray sits on the table under an ACE PRO or Kobra 3 to let it roll under a Dual Stack or Single Stack.

This allows either another ACE PRO or Kobra 3 printer above it to save space.

Dual Stack is 2 ACE PRO units.

Single Stack is 1 ACE PRO and a Kobra 3 printer above.

I printed everything on a K3C in PLA but PETG or ABS will work also if you want that.

My settings were; 0.2mm layer height. Infill = 15%. Wall Loops = 4. infill pattern = 3D Honeycomb.

The model requires 12 M3x16 SHCS screws to hold everything together. No glue required or needed.

Assemble the Tray (TrayV2.3mf)

TrayFront, TrayLeft, TrayRight. print either the Plastic Wheels or the bearing bushings if you use bearings BearingBushing, Optional PlasticBearing

Insert the 8mm bushings into the bearings. Insert the bearings into TrayLeftSide and TraySideRight. Use a M3x16 screw to fasten each bearing.

Insert 2 of the magnets in the ends of the tray supports. Glue may be required. Make sure the magnets are installed attracting not opposing.

Once the sides are assembled, attach the Trayfront with handle up to both sides and use 2 M3x16 screws to secure.

Next using 4 M3x16 screws attach the assembly to the bottom of the lower ACE unit.

Putting the ACE on its lid helps here but be careful not to scratch the lid.

The ACE unit should now roll on the table freely.

Print and assemble either the Single Stack or Dual Stack and insert the tray in the bottom.

New:

If you have a printer big enough you can print the Tray all at once (ACELOWERTRAY.STL)

Requires 345x265mm print area.

Done:

Slide the ACE on the tray under the supported unit. Connect all your PTFE and ready to print.

i taped the USB cable to the upper back of the lower ACE to keep it out of the way.

Hints:

All these files were printed on a Kobra 3

Pre insert the screws into the bottom of the ACE units to cut a few threads first. Then remove the screws for final assembly.

Set the ACE upside down when trying to attach it to the rest. Place a soft towel down first to avoid scratching the ACE all up.

A small hammer might be needed to pop the inserts together.

I used PLA. Some may prefer PETG or ABS.
