Cable protector for Toro PowerClear 721E snowblower

prusaprinters

<p>Not long after I got my snowblower, the top of the plastic cable protector broke off. I designed a replacement protector with similar dimensions. The first time I tried printing, I did not have good adhesion and the print failed at the top. Using larger brim helps and recommend slowing the printer down to 50-75% when approaching the top of the print (i.e., after 2 hours). The original cable protector is domed, and thus needs to be printed with the dome at the top. Alternatively, I've provided a model with a flat top that can be printed upside down, with the flat top on the base. Either way you will likely need a brim.</p><p>You cannot print this lying horizontally. I tried with an octagonal version, but it was no good.</p><p>I used fuzzy skin in PrusaSlicer/Cura. I think it makes this look better.</p><p>I printed this in PLA, though I suspect PETG might be a better choice in the long run.</p><h4>Print settings:</h4><ul><li><strong>PLA</strong></li><li><strong>Layer heigh</strong>t, variable, 0.2mm</li><li><strong>Infill </strong>n/a (left at 20%)</li><li><strong>Brim</strong>, inner and outer 7mm</li><li><strong>Fuzzy skin</strong> option</li></ul><p>Designed with OpenScad.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
