D3P OVERHEAD MOUNT FOR CREALITY SPARKX i7 by Darren 3d Print

Two versions of the overhead are available and included. A LITE (V1) and a FULL (V2).

The full V2 version is the suggested one as it offers more features. Make sure you use the correct 3mf print setting as there is one for each.

FEATURES

Features of the SparkX i7 D3P LITE (V1) overhead mount:

• Space saving CFS lite mount;

• External spool holder - can be installed on either side;

• LED LIGHTS - the overhead features slots to install 3 slim 30 cm (12 inch) LED strips (see addons below);

• cable clip system - a customizable cabling clip system to arrange the cables of the SparkX i7 D3P overhead mount;

• Sturdiness and filament efficiency - the design minimizes filament use while maintaining structural strength;

• Modular integration with the SparkX i7 D3P bottom riser. The SparkX i7 D3P bottom riser is interchangeable and can be used with my Kobra X D3P overhead mount system;

• Detailed pdf instructions with pictures and steps;

• Printing requires little or no support.

Features of the SparkX i7 D3P LITE (V1) overhead mount:

All of the above plus:

• Dry box attachment;
• Multiboard mounting system;
• Modular tool tray mount;

IMPORTANT: The D3P SparkX i7 overhead mount model is only for the overhead mount. The D3P SparkX i7 bottom riser is a separate model. Both models can be used separately or together.

PRINT SETTINGS

IMPORTANT I upload a print setting files for all my models. The print settings has the parts positioned for correct printing.

I strongly recommended you use my print setting file. If not, I will not be able to assist you if there is an issue when printing. From experience, many of the issues with printing my models are on account of users not using my print settings.

CHANGELOG

If there are any changes to the STL files or print settings I will list them here. I recommend looking at this section prior to printing as it is the only way I can inform users of changes.

3D PRINT SETTINGS

I use the following settings and materials to print this model:

Infill % : 15% (no need for more)

Nozzle diameter: 0.4 mm

Layer height: 0.2 mm standard

Material: PLA or PETG. If you plan on using a dryer on the shelves then PETG is suggested as PLA may deform

ASSEMBLY AND INSTRUCTIONS

A detailed instruction and assembly guide with steps and pictures is available for download with the model files.

MikesQuestLog released a great assembly video for the overhead LITE

TROUBLESHOOTING

All parts and the assembly have been tested multiple times (both printing and assembly).

• Make sure your build properly cleaned and free of grease and oils before printing. This is the cause of adhesion.

• Make sure you use my print profiles/settings (the .3mf file that has multiple plates with all the parts) and that you enable support as indicated for each build plate on the build plate description.

• Filament and printer will affect tolerances however all should fit. If unsure proceed slowly and cautiously.

• If there are any changes I list them in a changelog on the model page. Please have a look at it prior to printing in the event there are any changes.

I am available to assist with any issues with this model.
