Glass tensioner (works on tevo tarantula)

prusaprinters

<p>This is a glass tensioner based on:<br/> <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2260586">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2260586</a></p> <p>but the author never uploaded a separated SLT file, so whenever I wantd to print only one, I need to edit his STL and I took less time to create my own, in a parametric way, using Fusion 360, so you can edit it to meet your printer sizes.</p> <p>Fusion 360 file: <a href="http://a360.co/2uHiHiD">http://a360.co/2uHiHiD</a></p> <p>you need to print</p> <p>1x corner_a: the tensioner itself<br/> 3x corner_b: standard corners to hold the glass</p> <p>materials:<br/> 2x Nut and Bolt, in order to tension the glass, check photos</p> <p>optional:<br/> I am adding also a spacer (corner_c), which will make some space for small bolts like mine and also provide a better surface (plastic/glass vs metal/glass)<br/> please send me a comment if you have questions or requests</p> <p>Update:<br/> added replaced circle with a slot at the base (thanks for the idea! <a href="/jcmunozac">https://www.thingiverse.com/jcmunozac</a>), please download the fusion 360 file in its latest version (v19 at this point)</p> <h3> Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>Recommended: use Brims, since they are really small parts and a tiny warp can mean easily 25% of the solid merged, then remove it with cutters</p> <h3> Future Work</h3> <p><strong>Make a bolt &amp; nut less version, using some printed mechanism to generate the tension, stay tuned</strong></p> Category: 3D Printer Accessories
