L-Boxx Clamp for Bosch GAS 35 Vaccum

thingiverse

The original model failed to work seamlessly with the Bosch GAS35 vacuum, which boasts L-Boxx brackets on top. I've skillfully modified the original part 1 in Fusion360, stripping away most of the plastic that was interfering with the vacuum bracket's functionality. Initially, part 2 didn't function as expected, but I resolved the issue by upscaling the original file to 102% using the new Part1. This solution has worked well in my preliminary tests. The uploaded STL for part 2 is the original file and hasn't been upscaled; you'll need to perform this step within your slicer. The infill can range from 20 to 30%. I've taken it upon myself to add extra 2-3 perimeters to the standard PrusaSlicer settings, which has a significant impact on rigidity at the expense of print time and filament usage. To accommodate the steel rod, I had to slightly widen the holes using a drill. This modification not only ensured a snug fit but also addressed potential plastic contraction during cooling. I've used Prusa black ABS for the parts, which demands an enclosure to maintain stable temperatures and requires fume venting; however, the resulting prints are sturdy enough for this application. Sourcing the spring proved to be a challenge, but I eventually found this alternative on Aliexpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/-/32887534355.html?spm=a2g0s.8937460.0.0.7adb2e0en8Z3om As the spring is still in transit, I'm unable to verify its functionality yet. As soon as I receive additional updates, I'll be happy to share them. Thanks to the original designer for creating a fantastic starting point that allowed me to adapt it seamlessly with the GAS35 vacuum.
