Adding full build plate to hardware folders

[doudar]

@eMadman , do you think it's beneficial (lower the barrier to entry for new builders) if we included a prusaslicer or cura file with all the required stl's for your mod prearranged on a build plate? Maybe there's a way to save a prearranged multipart .stl?

Let me know if this is something you'd be interested in doing, otherwise I might try it in a week or so (vacation for me next week - weeee!).

I'll see if I can plate it as a 3mf or STL file. Fusion 360 isn't great for exporting files but I might have something that can get it arranged and plated. I'll describe my recommended print settings in the readme.md as well. Should probably update the Bom to be a bit more specific and link to some video instructions on how to use the heat set inserts while I'm in there. I can probably get it done before the weekend is over! Side note... My final revisions from last night seem to be pretty well perfect! the command tape is a thing of the past. It's held in place with zip ties and some rubber non skid stickers. Blends right in! @doudar woo vacation! Couple more weeks till my Christmas downtime as well

If you think it needs two plates, I’m good with that.

@eMadman Did you create this plate anywhere? I'm looking for your case mods for the IC4 (Parts shown on the plate above), links gave me a 404 in the 'Case v2 Assembly discussion'. My printer died a few months ago, so I had to put this project on hold for a bit. Just got a new printer, so diving back in to this project again!

[eMadman]

I haven't created and published a plate. I had one for a while but pulled it eventually. Main reason is because there are direct mount designs available for more bikes and I wanted users to have the flexibility to plate it themselves.

You'll want to print the following files from the direct mount mod folder:

• Both case files (left and right)
• the IC4 Bike mount
• the IC4 arm
• _arm hook.stl
• ic4 arm

And from the main project folders:

• knob cup
• knob insert for the schwinn IC4
• 40t gear
• 11t gear

The screws, heat set inserts, and other components you'll need are listed out here in the bom here: https://github.com/doudar/SmartSpin2k/tree/develop/Hardware/MODS/Direct%20Mount%20Mod

Let me know how it turns out for you and if you run into any challenges along the way!

Ah, under Direct Mount! I looked everywhere but there and I knew I saw it somewhere! I've got most of the components, and printing the gear assemblies now.

Thanks!

That would be my fault - it started off as the IC4 mount only... and then I managed to get some measurements and fitments going for other bikes. The restructured folders should be easier to follow along with now. I hope!
