Genmitsu 3018 Pro Offline Console Mount
Genmitsu 3018 Pro Offline Console Mount
Note: This is just one of many easy enhancements I have posted for the Genmitsu 3018 Pro CNC Router. None of my enhancements require any modifications to the stock hardware. Just bolt them on and go. If you look under my postings you'll see others including the Cable Chain, X,Y & Z Limit Switches, Vacuum Adapter, Cushion Feet, Clamping Set, E-Stop Mount and more.
The little Offline Console that comes with the 3018 is kinda cool but it doesn't work for me just dangling around. This little piece allows you to plce it at the front of the machine with the legs under the front bakelite piece to hold it in place.
You will need four M3 x 8mm screws to put these three pieces together.
The pieces were 3D printed using PETG filament with 15% infill and no supports. It probably doesn't matter what filament is used but I find that PLA tends to melt and malform sometimes with temperatures and ABS can be a little brittle when trying to snap the chain links together.
Also I design everything in OpenSCAD which is a free CAD program. I have included all of the source files I made which you can modify as you'd like.
