Filament Passthrough for an Ikea (TINGBY) based enclosure

thingiverse

This is a filament pass-through for a printer enclosure that was custom-designed for an Ikea TINGBY coffee table-based enclosure. As it stands, this design is quite niche, with only a few potential users out there, so any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If you have the exact dimensions of a Lack enclosure's thickness and want to try this out, I'd be happy to remix it for your specific needs. To build one, you'll need the following parts: 3x M3 x 45mm screws 3x M3 nuts 1x P18 17.8 x 2.4mm O-ring (for the ball) 1x 22 x 3mm or 22.1 x 3.5mm O-ring (for the cap) I used an older version of the following O-ring kit from Harbor Freight, which has all the required parts: https://www.harborfreight.com/397-piece-metric-o-ring-assortment-67580.html When printing this design, make sure to use supports that touch the build plate and rotate them to minimize supports. If you decide to make one, please post a picture of it and let me know if you have any questions. I've also included a STEP file for easy remixing, but be aware that the "INSIDE" part is mangled in that file. Despite trying several things to correct it, I couldn't get it to export without the problem. To help with alignment, I created two templates: one basic drill guide and another with a stop, which I used on my own enclosure. For drilling the hole, I recommend using a 1 3/8 Forstner bit. I'll add some pictures showing the installation process soon, but for now, the hardest part is aligning the holes.
