Glue stick holder

thingiverse

This design is specifically tailored for use with the Qidi Tech 3D printer, but its versatility extends to other models like the Flash Forge Creative Pro and Makerbot Replicator 2 clones. It's capable of holding three Elmer's glue sticks on the side of your 3D printer. If you're looking to utilize XL glue sticks, consider checking out an alternative design instead. One notable feature is its reversible nature, allowing it to be mounted on either side of any corner. This versatility provides a total of 18 different mounting locations. UPDATE: As of June 23, 2016, the back section has been extended to enable printability without supports. Although the uploaded images don't accurately represent the final product, this modification isn't substantial enough to cause significant differences. Print Settings: Printer: Qidi Tech Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 15% Post-Printing Installation Instructions: Select a corner where you'd like to mount the bracket and, at that height, remove the screws holding the side panels in place. Use these same screws and holes to secure the bracket onto the printer's side wall. How I Designed This: While searching for a glue stick holder compatible with my Qidi Tech printer, I discovered a lack of suitable options available for this model or the Flash Forge Creative Pro. After finding an existing design that impressed me with its attachment mechanism, I decided to create a mounting system inspired by it. Another essential requirement was that the bracket should be able to attach to either side of any corner. To fulfill this need, I designed the bracket into two separate pieces that can be easily reversed and installed in multiple locations.
