Thermal water barrier

thingiverse

This device was used to block thermal radiation from high-intensity light sources by passing a slow water current through it, crucial for photochemistry work.\nThe STL files provided will fit standard microscope slides on both faces (two each for the large one), and can be edited in the .SCAD source code to accommodate different sizes.\nIt's essential that glass slides are attached securely (and checked for leaks) before placing the device over or near electrically powered light sources, as high infill values or solid infill minimize any potential leaks through pores or gaps in the plastic walls.\nThe initial design called for single microscope slides to be compressed between two frames on both faces of the device, but I had to resort to gluing glass slides to both sides due to an inability to find a correctly sized O-ring. If you can find a suitable rubber seal, there's a groove designed for it in the original model, which can also be modified slightly in the source code.\nPrint Settings\nPrinter Brand: RepRap Printer: Ormerod 2 Rafts: No Supports: No How I Designed This I designed this device in OpenSCAD and sliced it with Slic3r.
