Side Pocket / Tool Holder for Wanhao i3 (Monoprice Maker Select)

thingiverse

Side tool pocket for Wanhao i3. It clips onto the right vertical metal Z brace stand, no extra hardware needed. You can use it to hold a stack of small paper strips for bed leveling. To mirror it in Cura or your tool of choice, just clip it on the left Z brace stand instead. Printing it upside down makes sense (clip on the bottom). No support is needed in that case. A separate test Z clip without the pocket attached is provided to account for variances in extrusion width, flow %, and so on on different printers. You might want to print the test piece first to make sure it clips tightly on your machine, but without cracking or breaking. To do this, scale the clip and the pocket up or down by a minimal % amount as needed if it's too loose or too tight. The design features 1.6 wall thickness, which results in Cura generating 2 shells on each side of the wall (total 4) for 0.4 nozzle. No infill is needed. Adjust accordingly to your printer/nozzle diameter. OpenSCAD code is provided if you want to customize this to your needs. The clip itself is a good starting point for remixing, in case you want to add tool hooks, slotted tool holders and so on instead of the side pocket. An example of a remix (spatula tool holder) is available here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1529838 Print Settings Printer: Monoprice Maker Select Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.3 Notes: Might need to add infill if printing with wall thickness lower than 0.8mm. How I Designed This OpenSCAD Remixing is welcome.
