Making a Voron rip-off pretty much

I started getting the under-bed mounts setup and went down a small rabbit-hole. Turns out all Voron models use “cable ducts”/“wiring ducts”. These are plastic or PVC tubes that have a comb on the sides and are used to route wires. I really liked these for managing cabling. I found a great model some one made for Vorons which I can adapt for my layout. Unfortunatly these mount onto a sheet Vorons have below the bed which my CNC does not. Instead I’m trying to make a version that mounts directly onto the DIN rails. I’m also trying to make it parametric in OpenSCAD but haven’t made much progress.

Aside from that, I found some cheap DIN rails and started assembling things in CAD. There are a ton of models online of DIN rail mounts for different components which is super useful. My original layout didn’t account for how spaced out the rails are and also placed the power port in an inconvenient spot which I’ve reorganized but the wiring is the same.

Researching Voron machines so much did kinda make me want to copy another aspect I really liked. They use 3D printed “skirts” to cover the under-bed electronics which both makes the machine look cleaner and provides a good mounting spot for components and plugs. After looking at a couple designs, I realized I had no idea how to CAD them and went with a basic hex mesh. I also added some plastic feet (will be 100% infill) to provide clearance for the PSU.
