Odd Leg Panel Holder

thingiverse

Human: Originally intended as enclosures for polycarbonate panels, these holders were specifically designed for my Malyan M180 3D printer. They can obviously be used for many more applications. Clearly a straightforward design that's not challenging to execute, yet if someone has already created it, then producing the prints becomes even easier, which is why I've uploaded this model. Print Settings Printer: Malyan M180 Rafts: Yes Supports: No Resolution: Any Infill: 10% Notes: A raft was used to ensure the ABS filament stayed in place. PLA can be used if there's no risk of exposure to heat, as it has a lower glass temperature than ABS. For a practical item like this, resolution doesn't matter that much. If appearance is important, using a matching filament color could be a useful feature. Post-Printing Apply good quality double-sided adhesive tape to the rear of the larger leg and secure it to any flat surface. The unique leg design exposes a larger area for adhesion to the target surface, making it possible to drill holes in the leg and use screws for fixing to surfaces like wood. How I Designed This I sketched out the end profile in Sketchup, then extruded it to the desired length. After that, it just needed rotating and settling on the base before it was ready to print.
