Hexbug Nano V2 Tube

thingiverse

I have designed an exact replica of the stock hexbug nano v2 tube. The modification I made to the tab that catches in the connector allows it to be printed without support and makes it easier to remove. This design change eliminates the struggle of getting the tube out of the connector, making it perfect for small hands. The new design slides in smoothly and catches nicely, but can still be easily removed with a little force. The picture below shows a print made from ABS (left) compared to the original store-bought tube (right). I am currently printing a version using clear t-glase and will post an update when done with a side-by-side comparison.
