Prusa MK3+ Platform Brackets with options for angle-width-safety clip

<p>MK3 MK3s top rail bracket that can be created with an angled deck.</p> <p>I created this from adjustments to the bracket made by " NothingSpectacular" <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2758411">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2758411</a><br/> who modified the bracket to work with Aero3D's adjustable spool bracket <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2362427">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2362427</a></p> <p>This bracket has nothing to do with that adjustable spool bracket project although at an angle of 0 it will print what should be a normal bracket of the width you specify.</p> <p>I modified the bracket to have the mounting platform be at an angle.<br/> This was to test mounting a FiBo Box on the top rail <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4702315">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4702315</a></p> <p>The experiment was conducted by clipping the FiBo Box into a platform (printed at 23 degrees).<br/> <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4779615">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4779615</a></p> <p>Angling the box was necessary to try to position its center of gravity closer to centered over the rail.</p> <p>While running prints was successful, the boxes elevated center of gravity is so high above the rail that operational vibrations of the printer can cause the box to flex your Z axis rail... So I won't be using it as a full time solution, but it was a fun experiment. If you do play with it keep in mind the power supply side of the rail has the most support against flexing.</p> <p>I did the bracket and routine to build it so the SCAD is included in case you find some use.</p> <p>Things this routine can do:<br/> 1) print the deck at an angle above a horizontal plain.<br/> 2) Print a normal or angled bracket that is of a width you want controlled by bracketthickness =<br/> 3) Apply a bottom clamp to the brackets preventing it from coming off the top rail</p> <p>The bolt holes are for m3 bolts using the thin M3 nuts (DIN 562 style)</p> <p>I am posting a sample 15 degree platform. You could theoretically print 0 to even 90 (vertical).</p> <p>In the SCAD file you will find for basic users there are 3 variables you can set to change the attributes of the platform. F5 to preview... F6 to render... STL button to export.</p> <p>The original brackets were modified to not interfere with xyz calibration. While I have visually checked clearance I have not run a calibration with mine installed. So be sure to run clearance testing.</p> <p>As always use caution in suspending large heavy objects above your printer.</p> <h3> Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Prusa</p> <p><p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>I3 MK3S</p></div><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>.2</p> <p><p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>20</p></div><br/> <strong>Filament:</strong><br/> gst3d PLA Apple Green <br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong> </p><div><p>The pin is designed to print on the flat side.</p> The safety bracket should be printed on its end to resist layer splitting under pressure.</div></p> </p></p> Category: 3D Printer Accessories
