Retort Stand Joint

prusaprinters

<p>A joint for attaching two rods at right angles. Designed for a retort stand, but could be used anywhere you need to join two rods.</p><p>The body part comes in different sizes to suit different diameter rods. To make a complete joint you will need:</p><ul><li>Joint body to suit the vertical rod</li><li>Joint body to suit the horizontal rod</li><li>Two knobs</li><li>Four M3 x 6mm socket head machine screws</li></ul><p>Print the parts with the flat side down. No support is needed. Screw the two bodies together. The screws should be a clearance fit through one body and self-tap into the other. Screw the knobs on loosely, slip over the rods, then tighten the knobs to secure.</p><p>There are body parts to suit metric rods from 6mm to 12mm, and imperial sizes 1/4in, 3/8in and 1/2in.</p><p>The example in the first picture is joining a 1/2in upright to a 3/8in horizontal. They were printed with AMZ3D orange PLA for the knobs and Prusa silver PLA for the bodies.</p><p>Originally published on Thingiverse in November 2017 as https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2630501</p><p>Category: Hand Tools</p>
