4L Clear Depth - with cord and antenna

Can someone tell me what the absolute clear depth is including the antenna and the power cord.

I’m trying to see if it will fit in a 23" deep cabinet.

Cabinet depth is 23" so I think it will fit but its pretty close. I’d hate to build all this stuff to find out its 0.25" too big for the cabinet doors to close. machine is listed at 20.8 plus some value extra for the cord and antenna thats NOT listed.

Thank you

(I dont have the printer yet - being shipped so im just tryign to plan ahead)

Hi! You can find our recommended workspace dimensions for Form 4L here. 23" does indeed sound a bit tight.

Thanks. I need the actual. Not suggested.

I have an existing cabinet, need to know if it fits or if I need a new cabinet.

Anyone? Can someone check their form 4L for me?

Thanks

Nobody on this forum has 4L they can measure how far out the antenna and cord protrudes?

If space is really tight, 5-7cm extra at the back of the printer should be enough, but you would be cutting it pretty close.

I just measured ours: 57cm would be tight since the cable sticks out straight. You could probably get a cable with a 90° angle, then you could maybe get away with 54 cm.
We have it at ~58cm depth on a warehouse shelf.

Thomas,

Thank you for that. Perfect!

Cabinet depth is 57.94cm with about another 6mm of clearance in front the shelf to the inside of the front door. So I’m at around 585+ if it were touching front and back.

At 58cm I should be able to get a 90° power cord as mentioned and what I’ve been planning, and it should fit in cabinet.

Greatly appreciated!!!

That should work and with the angled cable should be plenty.
Just make sure the Form4L is getting enough airflow on the sides, it’s cooling fans blow rather energetically - don’t put it in a closed box.

Yeah. It’s an enclosed box but I’ll be installing ventilation for fresh/cool air changes/exhaust.

I plan on drawing fresh cool air into and around cabinet and exhausting outside of not only the cabinet, but the room.

I’ll be using some generic 120v inline exhaust fans and hard pipe ducting to do this.

I’m space limited at the moment in my home workshop. I’m trying to make the new system work in a 10’x10’ room - for everything… Print, wash, cure, post process, material storage etc , so yeah, space is extremely limited. I have no choice for now but I’ll do everything as correct as possible.

I’ll post some pics once all the hardware arrives.

I can also just leave the cabinet doors open under extreme conditions/situations.

As long as you can get at the right side of the printer for the resin cartridges that should work I guess.

In case you want to use the resin pump, you also need to plug/unplug the USB cable at the left rear, next to the antenna and have space for the 5L resin canister somewhere.

Also, when you open the door, it comes out 7cm to the left.

External exhaust is good, at least the Tough 1500 V2 we work with is pretty intense, smellwise :wink:

Hope it works for you!

Cabinet is just over 1m wide. I’ll leave a little room on the left for the door to open it and should have enough room on the right leftover to have a pump in the bay and 5L resume bottle on the enjoy space if I end up doing that.. if not, I think it’s enough to reach in and place or remove resin cartridges…I hope anyway.

Worst case, I can cut a door in the side of the cabinet and access the cartridges from that. Not ideal, but could be done.
