PrintrBot Simple Metal Locking Extruder Handle Remix

thingiverse

I think this design by nmackes was incredibly clever and a very valuable addition to any PrintrBot. What started as me just wanting to remove the logo from the front of the thing turned into hours of intense work. While a well-calibrated printer makes for extremely good quality prints, the objects printed also need to be well-designed. After my first printing effort, I noticed that parts of the thing did not print very well - for instance, some of the thinner walls were not divisible by the nozzle width. So, I set out to fix this, but the more I fixed the design, the more problems I found with it. Changes to the original design: Thin walls thickened to be divisible by 0.4mm (print nozzle diameter) for better print quality. Errors with the geometry were fixed. Some small holes in the solid were plugged. The filament cleaner socket was removed. The logo and lock/unlock symbols were removed. Multiple designs are available to choose from: Blank "Pb" Logo "Pb" logo with Printrbot text "Pb" logo with Lock arrow Lock arrow with vents *NB Do not print the "Assembled" files; this is purely just to show off the thing.
