CNC AUTO PRESSURE PLATE

thingiverse

CNC PRESSURE PLATE Pressure Plate is designed to help machine parts that are difficult to secure to a sacrificial plate. Although materials need to be secured, this plate makes obsolete the necessity of "tabs" - unless perfection is your goal, in which case tabs are still necessary. This Pressure Plate works best for thin materials with cuts made in a single pass. The plate utilizes 3D printed springs, but it's highly recommended to replace them for better results and extended use. The pressure plate shoe is flat, so ensure it has a good finish surface and apply a layer of wax on the contact surface for optimal performance. When positioning the spindle, it should rest on the Plate Base. However, if you need to elevate the spindle due to the length of the tool bit, use the space ring. If that's not enough, an additional row of springs can be employed using the Second Base - this is particularly useful when dealing with longer tool bits. All parts have been checked for naked edges or errors, making them printable as designed. However, whether the design is good and the parts will fit together properly is a separate issue altogether. This Pressure Plate is designed to print without support in most cases.
