Twist-lock 2020V-Slot Flatcable clamp

prusaprinters

<p>Print as in STL file (no supports), insert in frame, rotate 90 degrees clock-wise to lock, slide in cable, done :)</p> <h3> naming</h3> <p>I find it hard to describe the clips/clamps/thingies so I decided to give them a name.</p> <p>Bill:<br/> The Bill clip is 10 x 20 mm, you insert it inline with the profile and twist clockwise to lock.<br/> Now the clip is perpendicular to the extrusion, and the cable runs parallel to the extrusion.<br/> Bill is the clip you need to run a cable alongside an extrusion.</p> <p>George:<br/> The George clip is 20 x 20 mm, you insert it perpendicular to the extrusion and twist clockwise to lock.<br/> Now the clip is inline with the extrusion and the cable runs perpendicular.<br/> George is the clip you need to hold a cable that crosses the extrusion.</p> <h3> V1:</h3> <blockquote><p>Bill v1.stl</p> <p>first version, 10x20mm, but twist-lock-peg is slightly off-center, therefore;</p> </blockquote> <h3> V2:</h3> <blockquote><p>Bill v2.stl<br/> Bill v2 PK6</p> <p>same function, but the clip should end up dead-straight on the V-slot extrusion</p> </blockquote> <p>I was in need of holding cables oriented 90 degrees rotated, so I created;</p> <blockquote><p>George v2.stl</p> <p>using a 10x20 mm format resulted in a hard-to-print model that eventually did not sit well on the extrusion, so I made it 20x20mm</p> </blockquote> <h3> V3:</h3> <blockquote><p>George v3.stl<br/> George v3 PK6.stl</p> <p>The 20x20 rotated version was very (VERY) hard to twist-lock and -unlock, so I loosened it just a tad.</p> </blockquote> <p>I suggest you print one of each first and see which one you like best</p> <h3> V4:</h3> <blockquote><p>Bill v4 PK6.stl<br/> George v4 PK6.stl</p> <p>I've heard reports that the PK6 version is a little too tight to twist, they should twist and lock easily, stay in place when bumped, but able to be moved with a little bit force. The following files have the lock-nut slightly further out to hopefully hit this delicate balance :)</p> </blockquote> <h3> So, what version to print?</h3> <p>Regular 2020 V-Slot, like Ender printers, Tevo printers etc. (6mm gap in the profile)<br/> -&gt; in case of Bill; v2,<br/> -&gt; in case of George; v3</p> <p>PK6 frames and alike (5 mm gap in the profile)<br/> -&gt; v3 "PK6"<br/> or, in case V3 is too hard to twist<br/> -&gt; v4 "PK6"</p> <h3> Requests?</h3> <p>If you need adaptations, please let me know, I like creating these little things :)</p> Category: 3D Printer Parts
