Small test plates
Check the shutter and new joints before committing to the main parts.
PRINTED FRAME + BODY · PF1 CANDIDATE
20 planned runs.
One reusable build plate.
The current Creator 5 Pro plan uses the same build plate each time: remove the finished pieces, check them, then prepare the next approved run. You do not need twenty physical printer sheets.
Printed-frame plates
19 pieces form the new stationary frame candidate.
Body plates
37 preserved shell and camera/audio pieces, with the tall posts on their own plate.
Twenty is the original conservative from-scratch plan, not the number of prints remaining and not a guaranteed final or minimum count. It reserves 8 mm of brim space around every object, a 5 mm outer margin and 2 mm between reserved envelopes on a nominal 256 × 256 mm bed. Actual slicing, changed hardware or reprints may add or rearrange runs. Final kit clamps, cable fittings and mobility mounts are not yet included.
Here is the first printed-frame candidate
The new frame has four ribbed base quarters, four overlapping underside joint braces, two crossmembers, one slotted tray, four risers and four feet. That is 19 new printed pieces; together with the body it is 56 main candidate pieces. Electronics, real fasteners and later drive hardware are purchased components.
The tray’s default 180 × 140 mm envelope is adjustable source geometry, not a measurement of your CanaKit. Do not install a loose powered kit. The frame has no released payload rating, case clamps, cable entry, motor/caster/battery mounts or completed physical test.

Use the plan in this order
- First, reconcile anything already printed. Match the actual parts, material, revision and fit result before skipping a test. A printer returning to Idle is not proof of usable parts; never send a duplicate on that assumption.
- Run 01 is the separate PLA shutter trial. Run 02 tests the proposed PETG joint and interfaces. This plan does not reuse an old tool assignment or authorize a new send.
- Stop and inspect. Record physical completion separately from fit acceptance. A passing PLA mechanism does not qualify PETG structure, and a short corner sample does not prove a tall post.
- Only after measurements and fit gates, review runs 03–07 for the frame and 08–20 for the body. Keep every model at 100% millimetre scale. Inspect supports, brim, every layer and actual tool/material mapping in the correct slicer.
All public statuses below are planning labels. Actual attempts, photos and fit results are kept in the private project print register. The download here is a blank template and contains no personal printer details.

What has actually been checked?
All 11 new STL types passed the scoped mesh checks. The 19 frame solids were checked for positive-volume intersections, and no frame/body bounding-box intersections were found after the recorded shell offset. All 20 3MFs reopened in strict lib3mf mode with the expected object counts and no warnings. Their reserved plate rectangles fit the nominal bed without overlap. The native assembly reopens with 56 separate printed meshes.
These are digital geometry checks. They exclude the real case, fastener stacks, cables, print process, strength, creep, cooling and acoustics. No physical print or fit result follows from them.
