M2 Overall Dimensions?

Post by scampa123 » Mon May 18, 2015 4:03 pm

Can anyone share the max dimensions of the M2, please include the max reach of any part (i.e. the bed in either direction, spool holer)...

I'm looking to get an enclosure for the M2, and am looking for these dimensions to ensure an appropriate size and wasn't sure if they'd been published..

Thanks!!

Somebody posted an STL of the M2 (it was a chicken-scratch version just to mock out dimensions) on Thingiverse.

Ballpark measurements are:

19" in X to clear the spool holder (add 1 1/2" if you expect to have a dual extruder upgrade at any time in the future)
22 1/2" in Y clears the bed at maximum extents front and back, with a bit of extra space at the back to avoid squashing the bed heater wires
22" in Z just barely clears the filament tube, although you could probably tighten up the loop a bit without problems and knock a few inches
off of it.

Bear in mind that at the minimum X dimension, you won't be able to get the spools on or off without doors on the side.
