TEKTRONIX 4XX Series Cordwrap Feet

thingiverse

I upgraded the already impressive design by incorporating three small cord retainer bumps into the original layout. I've utilized these bumps on numerous TEKTRONIX scopes, including models 465, 466, 468, and 475, and can attest that they function adequately without the bumps; however, the addition of the bump significantly enhances cord retention. To print this design effectively, it's essential to use a robust material like PETG. On the other hand, brittle materials such as PLA tend to be more prone to breaking. Using NYLON or ABS would likely result in an even more durable final product. The printing settings I employed include: - Two layers - A nozzle temperature of 245C - A bed temperature of 85C To achieve optimal results, I recommend utilizing a RAFT and strategically placing supports that only touch the bed. Minimal support structures are necessary, and the print should be oriented flat on either of its "back" sides. For the infill pattern, I chose a 20% OCTET configuration. The slicing software I used is CURA 4.4.1, with the CHEP "Magic" profile selected for optimal performance. Finally, the print was executed on an Ender 3 (Modified) 3D printer using TINKERCAD as the design tool.
