This redesigns the Gluss Pusher stator, leveraging Autodesk Fusion 360 files: https://myhub.autodesk360.com/ue29b4247/shares/public/SHabee1QT1a327cf2b7a31ae28f6f2630611 . The initial version had bobbins spaced incorrectly. This fix may only benefit others seeking inspiration for starting a redesign, although it does provide functional value and surpasses its predecessor. Note that the design has a female cutout at the back to accommodate the "stator tube". This iteration is merely a stopgap as part of an ongoing design process, which I intend to entirely revamp. The current model functions optimally. The original Gluss Pusher stator can be accessed via this link: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:981840 . Instructions: The printed design utilizes a MakerBot 2 with PLA filament. ABS might offer better coil bobbin performance, as coils do get hot in use – fortunately, this hasn't presented a problem for me thus far. There's potential danger of sagging; however, I utilized Simplify3D to generate support structures effectively. While this program comes at a premium, it's exceptionally useful for adding supports. To maintain accuracy and avoid dimensional irregularities within the interior hole, I recommend printing in an upright (vertical) position, as this enhances overall stability. Upon completion of the print job, use sandpaper applied to a drill bit to clean the hole from stray plastic debris, creating a smooth, seamless interior void.
