prusaprinters

<p>This is a slightly-modified version of rookiewookie's filament guide. Changes:</p> <ul> <li>Spacing between the mounting "forks" reduced to about 5 mm</li> <li>Length of the slot between the forks deepened by a few milimeters</li> <li>thickness of the arm increased by 1 mm or so</li> <li>Rotated the model to sit flat on the plate<br/> You may need to file the forks a bit (to increase the gap), to fit your particular frame.</li> </ul> <h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>Licence: Creative Commons - Attribution Category: 3D Printer Accessories Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong> RepRap</p> <p><strong>Printer:</strong> Prusa i3</p> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong> No</p> <p><strong>Supports:</strong> Yes</p> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong> 0.2 mm</p> <p><strong>Infill:</strong> 30%</p> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>Watch the curve on the left (e.g. other end of the forks), as it's technically an overhang and may be difficult to print without adequate supports, especially with PLA.</p> <h3> Post-Printing</h3> <p>It's sized to exactly 5 mm between the forks, but some sanding/filing of that slot may be necessary to remove stringies and related artifacts.</p> <h3> How I Designed This</h3> <p>Just used blender to import the original STL, tweak, and re-export.</p>
