Ruler Stop

thingiverse

I liked the design ot White_Panters ruler stop. But as my ruler was realy thin with only 0,75 mm his design just did not clamp it. So I redesigned it from scratch in SolidWorks, while copying his style. I also upgraded to a bigger screw and put the nut in the bottom. So you can now tighten the screw by hand, eaven without a cap. This actual 3MF-File is for a ruler 24.6 mm x 0.75 mm. Eaven without the screw it clamps nicely. SolidWorks-File is included, so you can configure the part to your specific ruler. Or you may ask me to make a specific version. I just added a cap, which is to be pressed on the head of a standard M5 hex head. Such a head should have a diameter of about 8.4 mm. You need: ======== * M5 x 20 hex socket Screw * M5 Nut ot be pressed in the bottom * Washer 10x1 mm to be pressed in on top Printing setup =========== * Print it with the flat side on the printer bed. No support needed. * I reccomend using raft, as I hadseveral failures with the smal lip when trying without. * Layer hight 0.2 * at least 3 perimeters/shells * low infill (10%) for the cap ======== Orient the hole on the bed. It is designed to be printed with the hollow insided. So you will get a nice finished top. * Do not use support * print with raft. * Layer hight 0.2 * 5 perimeters/shells * print with PETG, so it will be somewhat elastic for the pressfit. PLA might crack.
