K40 Chinese laser tube support

thingiverse

I recently purchased a couple of K40 Chinese laser cutters, but one of them was missing the supports for the laser tube. I figured that I could just print some replacements. To finalize the design, I ran a few tests first. Print Settings Printer: Dreammaker Overlord Pro Rafts: No rafts were needed. Supports: Supports weren't required either. Resolution: A resolution of 0.3 was chosen. Infill: Five percent infill was used for added strength. Designing the Replacement Parts I began by using Illustrator to get the dimensions just right, then imported the design into 123D Design and expanded it into individual parts. To ensure the holder wouldn't damage the tube, I made sure it was wide enough.
