Version 1.0 (2nd September, 2024) UNTESTED PRINT
Designed to be be printed at 45 degrees on an Ender3 bed (220x220x240). Print file with curved base on the print bed (see pic).ETA with a 0.4 mm nozzle @0.28 mm layer height = 1day 11h 36mins (or there abouts). Using an 0.8 mm nozzle is likely much faster for this. However, you will loose tube text details.
Design with inbuilt support, none needed in slicing.
Two versions:
V1.0: First version of the model, no supports. It has no feet for clipping in the ASX-560 (or similar). Only good for tube storage, not analsyis For printing on large beds. Dimensions = 105x247x63.5 mm. Probably best to print this vertically to minimize supports needed.
V5.0: Later version of the model with inbuilt optimal support for 45 degree printing on a small bed (220x220x240 mm). Has feet for putting into the ASX-560 for analsysis.
Note: Versions 2,3,4 were all had their issues so are not provided here.
