Looking for temporary use of a zero clearance throat plate for 3D modeling

jlmeredith Tag me when you post the STL files. My Voxelab Aquila X3 Max will do just about 16" (400mm). I can print a few of these out for folks as needed as well. Just thinking out loud here, for the purposes of a throat plate, you will probably want infill to be 10-%, as soon as the saw blade goes into it, your infill with gaps is going to cause issues... This is going to take some conversion from imperial to metric though, pretty sure your Ender 3 plus measures things in mm not inches...

LCHIEN - I do have a printer big enough for printing the full size (Ender-5 Plus), but my current plan is to design it so that it can be split into two parts that most people can print.

[LCHIEN]

jlmeredith, is your 3D printer have a platen big enough for a 15" long throat plate?

[LCHIEN]

You're welcome.
You're not the first to have wanted the dimensions!
Sites like this covering special interest topics are wonderful for spreading and sharing knowledge.

LCHIEN Oh wow!! Thank you so much! This is fantastic! Once I have the design modeled and test prints are working, I will be sure to post back here with the files!

I'll save you the shipping and measuring.

I give you all the dimensioned throat plate drawings I have Collected over the years.
These precede the days of popular 3D printing but were by people wanting to make ones out of wood or laminates.
Hope that helps.

I am planning to 3D model the zero clearance throat plate for the BT3000 and I need a factory reference sample.

I am wondering if someone has one that I can borrow to get measurements from and then return the part to them. The ones that I Have seen on eBay are crazy priced.

Once I have it modeled, I will then make the files available to the community as needed.

I will be adding in design elements to accommodate the Microjig splitter as well as the standard splitter that can be converted into a riving knife (or others that can be retrofitted to the mount for the stock splitter).
