Remix of Leifheit Click System Holder by DirkHoefle

prusaprinters

<p>I wanted to store some of my Leifheit cleaning equipment on a wall or under a cubboard. So i searched for printable mounts. I found the mount provided by DirkHoefle and printed it. Unfortunately it broke for me on second use because PLA is very brittle and the spring was design very short. So I came up with this remix to inprove the design for my use.</p><p>In the end I came up with a design for a support free spring design which works with PLA. It took me a lot of revisions to optimize it an allow a smooth insertions in the equipment. This remix is usable in two ways. You can use the parts to fix the orignal parts or directly print the remixed part.</p><p>I think in the furture I will make completly new designs for the Leifheit system to make it more easy to expand for every one.</p><p><i><strong>I would be happy to see some of your makes posted :)</strong></i></p><h4>Modifications on the remix:</h4><ul><li>Seperated tounge from tube</li><li>Shortend tube 3mm in height (it got stuck on my equipment)</li><li>Complete redesign of the tounge</li><li>Designed the tounge as a seperated insert from the top (mainly to be able to fix my borken part)</li><li>Added a spline based spring mechanism which works with PLA (for my material)</li><li>Made the tounge a little bit smaller and rounded it to fit in the equipment better</li><li>Moved tounge 1,5mm out of the cylinder to have it seated better in the equipment hole</li><li>Added an angled slide to allow smooth insert in to the equipment</li></ul><h4><strong>Info before printing:</strong></h4><ul><li>I recommend to print the “leifheit_tube_remix” first end measure the size of the top hole and compare it to the measurements I have provided (see image).</li><li>In case your tube hole size varies I suggest to scale the model a little bit in the slicer.</li><li>Alternativly you can thicken the diameter of the “fix_plug” with tape or secure it with some super glue. But it is designed as a press fit.</li></ul><h4><strong>Print instructions:</strong></h4><ul><li>Minimal support needed (see image)</li><li>Part is mostly optimized for 0,3mm layers</li><li>Use 5+ walls to ensure the spring is solid material</li></ul><h4><strong>Assembly:</strong></h4><ul><li><i><strong>Solution 1:</strong></i> To fix the original part:<ul><li>Saw of 3mm of the original tube (gives a better fit for me)</li><li>Chamfer the edges</li><li>Press in the “fix_plug”</li><li>Done.</li></ul></li><li><i><strong>Solution 2:</strong></i> To fix the original part:<ul><li>Pressin the “fix_plug”</li><li>Press in the “distance_piece_3mm”</li><li>Done.</li></ul></li><li><i><strong>Solution 3:</strong></i> Print the remix:<ul><li>Print the “leifheit_tube_remix”</li><li>Press in the “fix_plug”</li><li>Done.</li></ul></li></ul><h4><strong>Optimazation:</strong></h4><ul><li>I suggest to sand/file of the edges from the tounge (see images).</li><li>This will remove the ripples from the layers and allow a smooth insertion in the equipment parts.</li></ul><p>Source files in the Alibre Atom format is available but the website does not allow the upload.
