BoxTurtle Logo Panel front skirt

This is an alternative front skirt for the BoxTurtle that includes a logo panel that can be illuminated using the LED Matrix panel provided or printed in your 2 colours to be a static logo.

Printing

• Pick a Size, _5_bay needs a 510mm Wide frame (I.e. Voron 2.4 350mm), _4_bay is standard BoxTurtle sizing.
• Pick an LED Matrix Housing, _back & _front can be used for individual neopixels, _blank can be used for LED Strips (No Front needed on the blank one).
• On the Left/Right & Middle panels set a layer height filament swap at 1.5mm (For the colour of your mesh), set the top/bottom layer of the mesh bodies to 0, tweek your infil for optimal results, mine is 17% Honeycomb at a 90 Degree angle to match the hexes, with 3 Walls for borders.
• Printing the logo plate, you want the base to be clear and the top to be your primary colour, so do a filament change at 2.6mm. I recommend a very light infil and something that doesn't cross over to much, such as triangles.

Design Features

• 17mm Wide, leaving 3mm on the inside of the BoxTurtle.
• 1mm Thick mesh to allow a height range filament change at 1.5mm.
• Mesh designed as single Body to allow outer walls to be used.
• Turtle Logo designed in multiple parts to allow layer changes (Assuming your BT isn't built when this is being printed).
• Supports are pre-added to all STL's

Assembly

1. Add 2 Heatset inserts to the back of the middle panel.

2. Press in your logo plate.

3. Assemble your LED Matrix and screw this in from behind using 2x M3x6 Screws.

4. Slide it into place on the BoxTurtle

Config

Assuming you have LED Effects installed, add this to the bottom of your AFC_Hardware.cfg file to get the rainbow effect behind the logo.
