Centrifuge Tube Adapter 50ml to 1.5ml Conical Bottom

thingiverse

This is a custom adapter designed specifically for positioning 1.5ml centrifuge tubes in the lowest point of a fixed angle 50ml centrifuge tube rotor. Extensive testing has been conducted with the following parameters: 6 x 50mL fixed conical tube rotors at speeds of up to 8700rpm, resulting in accelerations of approximately 9000 x g. Optimized print settings have been determined as follows: a minimum wall thickness of 4 layers, 25% infill density, and a layer height of 0.2mm. Both PLA and PETG materials have been successfully tested at run times exceeding 90 minutes. To ensure safe removal of the centrifuge tube from the rotor's bottom, a wire hook (crafted from a bent paper clip) is employed.
