IBM 5155 KEYBOARD (MODEL F) FEET, STL & STEP

grabcad

This IBM 5155 foot replacement set consists of four parts, with a complete set comprising two each (eight parts in total). The original springs can be reused, though they are quite robust. These feet are designed for use with a Form 2 model but have not been personally tested yet on this device; an update will follow once a set has been successfully created for personal use. Both STL and STEP files are provided. An update from April 5th, 2018, reports successful testing of the large (rear) feet on a Form 2 using high strength resin. However, the small front feet parts did not print as expected, with some melting issues potentially due to cleaning or curing factors. Revised designs for smaller feet were created to enhance printing success and ease of assembly; these updated files are labeled "R2" while the original files have been deleted to avoid confusion.[Update 2018-04-05: Tested on a Form 2 using high strength resin. Parts for large (rear) feet came out great. Parts for small front feet did not. It might just be a cleaning/curing thing but the insides of the small cylinder basically melted out. Changed both parts of the smaller feet to make it easier to print/less likely to fail. Also it should be easier to assemble now. Uploaded these as "R2" and deleted the originals so no one accidentally prints them.]
