Handy adapter for "AutoBlow" sleeves

prusaprinters

<p>This is just a small simple adapter that will let me mount an AutoBlow company sleeve to my Handy device.</p> <p>This is a first workable/tested solution. I may iterate and improve it at a later date.</p> <p>There are two hollow tubes in the print. The larger one, with a small nib on the end, is what the handy will grab on to. The smaller one with no nibs is what will hold the sleeve.</p> <p>The nib is at a shallow angle and you shouldn't need any supports. It is there to provide something to prevent the cylinder from just slipping out of the Handy.</p> <p>Orientation is up to you, but I typically use it with the nib down which pushes the sleeve "up" higher on the Handy so as to not risk auto cutoff (really wish I could disable that!)</p> <p>I suggest the following steps to hook everything up:</p> <ol> <li>Hook the adapter into The Handy first. Slide the connection side into the Handy velcro loop. The adapter is the same width as the loop.</li> <li>Tighten the velcro loop as tight as it will go and ensure the little lip or nib is just past the edge of the loop so it catches.</li> <li>Now place the sleeve into the adapter by pushing the back end into the opening, grab onto it from the other side and give it a good steady pull. It should pull through and stop naturally on the smaller diameter section that normally goes into the ring on the AutoBlow device.</li> </ol> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Prusa</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>i3 MK3</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>.3mm</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>20%</p></div> <h3>Post-Printing</h3> <p>Nothing really</p> <h3>How I Designed This</h3> <p>Fusion 306, calipers</p> </p></p></p> Category: Parts
