I read the kits come with ABS motor mounts. As well the XY steppers press against the acrylic case. I've built the printed case version and everything I printed was in PLA. The motor mounts I can re-print in ABS if I do see melting. It's the case I'm worried about. Do I need to introduce some kind of insulation between the motor and the case? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?279,169130,169130#msg-169130 Thu, 16 Apr 2026 14:29:13 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?279,169130,169216#msg-169216 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?279,169130,169216#msg-169216 Had to throw the question out there as the cabling took the longest part in the assembly. I would hate to have to do it again if the case warped.

Everything is pretty much done except for final wiring - Canada Post takes so damn long - I need my RAMPS!!!!!]]> ronderful Tantillus Sat, 01 Dec 2012 19:10:08 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?279,169130,169205#msg-169205 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?279,169130,169205#msg-169205 Sublime Tantillus Sat, 01 Dec 2012 17:16:27 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?279,169130,169130#msg-169130 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?279,169130,169130#msg-169130 I've built the printed case version and everything I printed was in PLA.
