Duplicator i3 Rod Holder/Locker

thingiverse

I designed this due to stripping the threads on the original Duplicator i3 Plus rod holder/locker where the grub screw is located. This replacement part is about 2mm thicker and 2mm longer than the original (width is the same) due to m3 nuts being inserted into the part. The hardware you will need is listed below. You should only be required to supply (3) m3 nuts because this is designed to reuse all the original mounting hardware. See below for details. When inserting the m3 nuts use a screw to pull them into the hex openings. They are intended to be a tight fit so they do not fall out easily. The hole for the rod is 8.10mm. It may be a tight fit due to tolerances. If you have issues getting this rod holder/locker onto your rod use a file to carefully remove some material. I did not have to do this, but it was a snug fit. (3) m3 nuts (1) m3 grub screw or m3 screw (I just used the original grub screw for locking the rod) (2) m3x6mm (8mm max) screws (I used the original screws for mounting the rod holder) Hope this works for someone else as this saved me time and money purchasing another one!
