Triton Shower Rail Shim

thingiverse

Shim to repair the Trion T80si shower rail lower bracket, if (when?) it has started to sag. The print is designed to fit neatly into the cavity in the lower bracket and spread the clamping force of the screw over the whole of the rear of the bracket. This keeps the bracket square to the wall rather than allowing it to sag under the weight of the shower head. This in turn stops the vertical rail from slipping from the top bracket, and the whole rickety arrangement from falling off the wall. Note: The included gcode file is for a TronxyXY. Use the FreeCad file to change the model, and the STL to generate suitable gcode from slic3r or Cura for your own printer. Print with the coarsest settings you can, it doesn't have to be pretty. Screw down with the 1mm deep by 12mm wide groove facing in towards the wall, not outwards. Use the rounded screw slot to ensure the screw and a suitable washer clamp the shim tightly and that the curved end of the shim sits snug against the curve of the bracket. This will ensure the maximum clamping force is applied to the outer rim of the shim, which keeps the bracket ridged, rather than all of the force being located around the screw which is what the original design does. The original failure mode is that the bracket deforms around the screw, and this allows everything to sag.
