This video comes at just the right time for me. Last Saturday I finished my voron 2.4 r2 350mm operationally. I'm going to use these clips to mount the panels.
These latches are brilliant. For the 3mm top panel with 1mm foam lining, I find the 3mm latch works best (it could even be a little tighter but it's good) so I'm guessing the 6mm latch should work well with the 3mm side panels with 3mm foam but I'll have to try it first to confirm. Thanks for making this video!
Switched to using these for my front panel latches instead. They're awesome. Still using magnetic clips on the other panels for now but may switch all the way over eventually.
Started out with using these for the front doors on my 2.4r2, because I wanted something simpler and "closer" than the stock handles. Since then I also switched the left and right side panels to these. Thought about installing them on the back as well, though the simplicity argument goes out the window as soon as the ERCF is done and mounted on the backside of the printer, which I'm working on right now.
There are several different thickness of these clips, you may want to step down a little bit to get it to snap and squish perfectly. I believe we used 4mm and 6mm but I don't remember for sure.
They won't melt or anything, but I can't guarantee they will work as expected. PLA is much more stiff and brittle than ABS, it might make them difficult to open.
Thanks! I might just double-sided tape some cardboard on for the initial prints to get the ABS latches out the door and everything bootstrapped. Just keep a fire extinguisher close by lol

Thats unfortunate. I know we ended up printing almost every single size of them and keep them stored in a bit for 'feeling out' when we need to print new ones.
I'm here for the music. I don't even have a Voron.
Same

Every time I need to watch one of your videos, I'm just pressing it fingers crossed that it's going to be this music in the background 👂👅
For some reasons, mine don't snap like yours do, nor do they hold the panel that tight. Is this normal ?

Love the narration! Hope you make more showcase videos in this style
We will!
Our complete builds will probably stay free of voice over since the manual pages explain this and we want them to appeal to any language.
verymuch one of the best mods you must do for a v2
Any idea if these would work in PLA? Putting my 2.4 together now and obviously can't really print in ABS yet.

@@dylanculfogienis8853 I've used masking tape to print all the non-pif parts for my v2 and it worked great!
"I wonder if they will work with ldo trident kit" *sees ldo motors sticker* "oh, maybe!"
They definitely do!
Love them! Awesome work!
Thanks a bunch!
I love it, Thanks!
what do you recommend for the front doors?
So far we've just been using the stock door handles. If you have any recommendations let us know!
These are fantastic clips indeed!
Do they seal the panel well without corner clamps?
as long as you place them within a few inches of each corner they do a great job.
@@MapleLeafMakers so 2 per each side, or 8 per panel?
@@BlownUpp right
Ok so those actually work? I tried some one time that had a print in place hinge... such a waste of plastic.
I have them on V2.4 and V Trident. They work perfectly, so every gram of plastic is well spent.
Can confirm they absolutely do work. We are currently running them on 4 different printers and can't imagine not putting them on the next one too!
@@MapleLeafMakers thanks I greatly appreciate the response!
@@ljuboizsiska5448 you too lol
you can also use 1.75mm dowel pins i did with mine.
Great Idea!
Glad you think so!
Where to get the two tone verion?
We just printed it that way with slicer settings and some fancy filament swapping.
Where can I buy this music? You have great taste.

I rotated middle part for nice surface ;)
Not bad, I prefer the magnetic panels clips mods.
We've heard that a few times in the last couple of hours. We'll do a showcase on them soon as well!
Nice, subbed
Thanks for the sub!
they sure do take a minute to print but idk could just be my slicer settings
They are sturdy parts for sure, take a lot longer to print then the stock clips do. Worth the wait though! Hope they work great for you.
I’ve built six different thicknesses of these and can’t get them to squish the insulation at any height.
They’re so satisfying to snap tho. Lmao
Thats unfortunate. I know we ended up printing almost every single size of them and keep them stored in a bit for 'feeling out' when we need to print new ones.
That would come in handy on a V0.. just sayin' ;)
There is a version of these clips for 1515 extrusion but theyre a bad choice for a v0, they leave gaps in places that the stock panel clips cover
so the filament thing into the latch doesn't scream "I'll work for a long time" but I need to try that now cause it's clever nonetheless
I thought the same thing but we haven't had any break yet, with 5 machines using them! It's very clever
