V-Slot Extrusions

thingiverse

While creating parts that mount onto my MendelMax 3 printer, I need models of the V-Slot aluminum extrusions. So I took a section view from OpenBuilds and built these models of 20x20mm, 40x20mm, and 60x20mm extrusions in Fusion 360 Ultimate. As a guide, my Fusion 360 model is geometrically precise, while STL comes into play when I require small extrusion prototypes for assembly trials printed for exact fits. This 3D printed prototype of the V-Slot stands upright and scales on the z-axis to fit whatever size or length you need.\nYou can also see my other designs, printer parts, and tools that have helped shape and form a precise build with my MendelMax 3.

Scale it to any size or length you require using the up-axis (z-axis) - original STL models measure 100mm long, which makes a scale factor of 0.1 give a result of a 10mm extrusion in each axis dimension. I typically print them with relatively thick layers of 0.25mm, minimal perimeters needed, no infill required.
