Automatic door opener on the 3D printer
In this post, we would like to give you an insight into how we manufactured our battery compartment using 3D printing. The casing is made of PETG-HF, a particularly durable and temperature-resistant material that is ideal for demanding applications.

The development and design of the casing and the associated circuit board were entirely done in Autodesk Fusion 360. This allowed us to ensure that all components fit together perfectly and to quickly respond to changes. The back of the casing uses a high-quality picture frame, which further simplifies assembly.
Efficient production of larger quantities
But how do we manage to produce a larger quantity of components efficiently? The answer lies in an automatic opening mechanism that we have specially developed.
This motorized door opener ensures that after the completion of a print job, the printer's door is automatically opened. This allows the print head to eject the finished parts independently and immediately start the next print job. This not only saves valuable time but also significantly scales up production.
Instructions for reconstruction
You can build the automatic door opener yourself. All necessary files and instructions can be found here: Motorized door opener for the P1S
Software
The associated software can be found here. However, it is still a work-in-progress.
