Heat Exchanger Card Holder

Edit 3: V2.1 re-uploads files, exporting again from SolidWorks with enhanced detail.\r\nEdit 2: Corrected bolt pattern uploaded as V2. The data-tag can be placed anywhere desired; in real life, placement often lacks logic and sometimes goes missing or gets buried under insulation.\r\n\r\nThis concept has been floating around for a year, originating as a Heat Exchanger business card holder. As an API 510/570 Inspector, I get hands-on experience with these devices in oil refineries and chemical facilities. With quarantine measures still largely intact and my industry operating at reduced capacity, I had the time to bring this idea to life.\r\n\r\nPrint with supports as needed; the body requires slightly denser infill for weight distribution and balancing, essential when bolted into the ground or concrete pads in field applications. For card holding purposes, a standard print should suffice. This model will be printed with 0.2mm layers using a 0.4mm nozzle on my corexy printer. Feel free to adapt printing settings as you see fit; only one of each part is necessary due to assembly export limitations in SolidWorks.\r\n\r\nBolt holes have a diameter of 1.1mm, allowing for M2 or M1 screws to be used; alternatively, glue can be employed, but this will compromise the surprise element. For added authenticity, some users may choose to soften and shape filament for insertion into the u-bend tube sheet section of the exchanger (the end cap without nozzles). If desired, I can upload a body with tubesheet removed or provide separate legs if there's sufficient interest.
