Carrier to carry the Printrbot

thingiverse

For individuals carrying a Printrbot, I designed a carrier. Although small and lightweight, the Printrbot's stiff components - the bases connected by rods - make transportation slightly inconvenient. To address this, two versions of the carrier are available: one to mount externally if the rods are long enough ("Carrier outside") and another for shorter rods that require internal mounting ("Carrier inside"). A 4 mm x 55 screw or threaded rod is needed for fastening. If assembling after the bases are already assembled, use an endstop holder cut off its bar (as I did with yellow ones) or a "Rod Clamp" to lock the carrier in place. Additionally, you can attach a vertical rod and a fan using the grip's threaded rod, as shown on the left side. For printing, I used 5 perimeters and 20% infill. I've also added files for download: "Carrier outside.FCStd," "Carrier inside.FCStd," and "grip.FCStd," all created with FreeCAD, a free software available at sourceforge.net/projects/free-cad/.
