Desktop Arbor Press - modified base

thingiverse

I made significant changes to the base design to ensure it's more robust and easier to repair. Initially, the threads were integrated into the model, but this proved to be its weakest point. Shortly after printing, they would often break, requiring the entire base to be reprinted. To address this issue, I revised the design to accommodate two bolts, which can be easily replaced if damaged. This modification eliminates the need for a complete reprint. I also made adjustments to the bolt structure by printing them horizontally, thereby increasing their strength where needed. However, I encountered an obstacle with Cura's inability to generate supports in certain areas. To overcome this challenge, I incorporated a support bar directly into the model.
