Formula RX Bleed Block

thingiverse

Since it was quite a challenge for my buddy to find a bleed block for the Formula RX disk brakes here in Germany, I took matters into my own hands and designed one myself. The bleed block is crucial when you're bleeding your brakes to hold the brake pistons in place so they don't get pushed out of the brake body. The gallery showcases the V1 version that fits perfectly into the brake block. Version V2 has a slightly wider hole for the fixation screw to fit more easily, as well as it's rounder on the bottom to match the brake body shape - an aesthetic touch. Print it with three to four top/bottom layers and an infill of above 10% to withstand the pressure forces of the brake's pistons. When using a honeycomb or rectangular infill pattern, it's not necessary to have a too dense infill. I've printed the bleed block with PLA. Please report any issues in dimensions and shape so I can optimize the bleed block further. *** I'd also love for you to check out my other designs, printer parts, and tools.
