Helping Hands Base Plate

prusaprinters

<p>Use this to stabilize the base plate of one of those ultra cheap helping hands with the too-tiny cast iron base.</p> <p>As seen on reddit but I was negligent on posting the link because the reddit app didn’t give me any notifications of new comments so I assumed it got like 1 or 2 upvotes and that was it and I don’t log in to reddit that often. Sorry reddit. <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/functionalprint/comments/aea3u3/was_tired_of_the_helping_hands_tipping_over/">https://www.reddit.com/r/functionalprint/comments/aea3u3/was\_tired\_of\_the\_helping\_hands\_tipping\_over/</a></p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>Category: Tools Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer:</strong> Theseus</p> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong> Doesn't Matter</p> <p><strong>Supports:</strong> No</p> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong> .2</p> <p><strong>Infill:</strong> 20</p> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> Priline Carbon Fiber Filled PC Matte Black<br/> <strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>I recommend printing in a temperature resistant material hot bits of solder land on it or you accidentally briefly bump it with a soldering iron. I printed mine in carbon fiber filled polycarbonate and then arbor pressed the helping hands base into the plastic.</p> <h3> How I Designed This</h3> <p>I used a flatbed scanner to get the dimensions of the base.</p>
