Simmons Titan 70 - Rack, Right Arm Pass-Thru Clamp Replacement

thingiverse

updated 02 OCT '23What changed: v1 replaced by v1.1, enlarged diameter of throughholes, increased counterbore depthv2 releasedv1.1 has a 0.5mm chamfer where edges meet the build plate to help negate elephant's foot, and a 1.0mm fillet inside the counterbores to make it easier to print without supports.v2 is my personal choice, but it's just an aesthetic switch-up. Whether or not you need to generate supports depends on if your printer can bridge the 46.5mm between posts. I didn't like how my edges looked without supports, so I added 2 thin stripes of tree supports, basically dividing it into 3 short bridge segments. Still manages to use a bit less filament than v1.1, and that's accounting for support material.I use a 0.6mm nozzle, 0.675mm extrusion width, 0.3mm layer height, 4 perimeters, 3 bottom layers, and 6 top layers.v1.1 uses ~22.5g of filament and takes me ~35 minutes to print.v2 uses ~21.5g of filament and takes me ~48 minutes to print..STEPs are included for both versions in case anyone needs to mess with 'em.Cheers!Can you guess the first thing I broke on this kit?Posting this model is not a comment about Simmons/GC or their customer service. My clamp snapped at 2200 on a Sunday, and this was a chance for my printer to make parts for a machine other than itself. If anyone else needs an emergency band-aid solution to the same problem I ran into, here you go.Works for me as-is. I just sketched this together as a quick 15 minute fix, I'll do a v2 soon and that will be the final update. The things I'm going to fix are the through-holes being a bit snug, the countersinks being a bit shallow, and the thing generally being ugly.
