Replacement Feet/Pads for Tektronix TDS 500/600/700 series oscilloscopes

prusaprinters

<p>Feet and rubber pad inserts, universal across the Tektronix TDS500/600/700 oscilloscope family and possibly other Tek equipment from related lines. This is a near-identical copy of the original with a few changes to take FDM printing into account. They're dimensionally/mechanically interchangeable with the originals; replace one or replace them all.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>The feet are designed to print standing 'up' with a .4mm nozzle and .2mm layers. The 3MF included is set up for Prusament PLA, though you might want to consider a tougher material (PETG, nylon, semiflex, etc). There are four small supports built into the mesh to support the locking tab during printing. Snip these off before installation. The feet are a nice tight fit just like the originals, and you'll probably need to press the locking tab down/into place with a little force.</p> <p>The rubber pad insert is best printed in a very soft TPE filament at 100% infill, eg, original FilaFlex (aka FilaFlex40), NinjaFlex, or even softer if your printer can handle it. The 3MF is set up for this. Anything stiffer than about 80A should be printed with &lt; 100% infill or the pads won't have any give and might be hard to insert. Or, if you still have the original Tek rubber pads, you can just use those.</p> <p>Original, editable FreeCad model downloadable from:<br/> <a href="https://people.xiph.org/~xiphmont/Tektronix_TDS_foot.FCStd">https://people.xiph.org/~xiphmont/Tektronix_TDS_foot.FCStd</a></p>
