Digital Xray cassette holder for Philips Eleva Xray system

thingiverse

This part is crucial for the Philips Eleva x-ray system, located in the chest stand. It secures the digital X-ray cassette corner with utmost care. The company recommends replacing it immediately if damaged to avoid any issues, but purchasing an entire new kit costs over $800, a substantial investment. To recreate this vital component, one can measure the original using precision calipers and design the replica in FreeCAD before exporting the file to STL format for 3D printing. This custom part was printed with meticulous care from solid PLA at an ideal temperature of around 205 degrees Celsius on my Prusa i2 printer. After four months of usage, it still functions flawlessly. Here are the print settings: * Rafts: Removed entirely * Supports: Essential for stability during printing * Resolution: Set to an impressively high 100 microns for superior quality * Infill: A completely solid build for added strength
