APC BR1500G Back-UPS Pro Anti-Tip Feet

thingiverse

These battery backup anti-tip stabilizers fit around an [APC BR1500G Back-UPS Pro](https://www.apc.com/us/en/product/BR1500G/apc-backups-pro-1500va-865w-tower-120v-10x-nema-515r-outlets-avr-lcd-user-replaceable-battery/) unit or the [matching battery expansion](https://www.apc.com/us/en/product/BR24BPG/apc-backups-pro-external-battery-pack-for-1500va-backups-pro-models-formerly-backups-rs-1500/) to prevent it from tipping to the side. The sturdy triangular shape increases the footprint of the unit to improve stability, and also enforces spacing between the Back-UPS Pro and its battery expansion for better airflow. Each unit needs two stabilizers, one for the front and one for the back. I can't guarantee that these will never let your UPS tip over, but it'll drastically reduce the risk. **3D printing recommendations:** - Print in ABS or PETG, or another plastic with good strength and heat resistance that won't get brittle over time. - You'll need to position it diagonally on a Prusa i3 bed, or other similar sized bed. - Use a brim to prevent curling and warping. If you have a Prusa you may need to reduce brim width to get it to fit on the print bed. - Supports aren't necessary. - Use an infill of around 50%. - Use a glue stick as needed for adhesion and release, especially on smooth PEI build pates. **Using the anti-tip stabilizers:** - Position them so that they don't cover the ventilation grille on the sides. - I recommend using an anti-slip mat or rug gripper mat under the stabilizers to prevent them from sliding. - For even more stabilization, skip the anti-slip mat or rug gripper mat, and use [Command Strips](https://www.command.com/3M/en_US/command/products/~/Command-Products/Refill-Strips/?N=5584772+5924736+3294529207+3294857497&rt=r3) to firmly stick either leg of the stabilizer down to the surface beneath it. This will help prevent the stabilizer from bending at the inside corners.
