Patio table glass support

thingiverse

I decided to re-paint my ~20 year old aluminum glass-topped patio table. When I was removing the glass, the plastic (or maybe some sort of resin) supports holding the glass table top in from the bottom were all yellowed and most disintegrated or crumbled as I was taking them off. I broke out OpenSCAD and whipped up a replacement which I modeled after one of the supports that I managed to remove intact. I think I made the support extend out about twice what the originals were. Holes were spaced to re-use the existing holes in the tabletop as much as possible. Printed with Overture PETG to ensure they survive the outdoor weather. I printed this with 'Print Sequence' = 'One at a time' as I had about 2 dozen to print and had issues batch printing them normally with the PETG material. If you rotate the support to print on the entirely flat side, no supports are necessary, but with the way the layers are printed, it may be weaker. I ended up printing it arranged as shown with supports.
