Description
The supports are made left-right in PETG and need support to meet on the exact same line. You can see in the screenshot and the 3MF file what I"m talking about. Print two pieces at once, left and right. It didn"t turn out perfectly, but they are functional. Their joining is done with spacers using the M5 threaded rod and they are tightened together. At the ends we reduced the spacers to 2 mm and attached cover plugs over the nuts. Between the left-right supports we have adapted two small pieces that are simply clipped. At the top I attached a clip that supports the tip and it was fixed by gluing. Use very little glue instantly, that"s enough. On the handles use ABS and you can see from the print screen that I have ordered a break for the insertion of the M4 nut that will be incorporated inside. The cover is fastened with the M4x25 or M4x30 maximum screw by pressing on a profiled washer. I have an open printer and I had problems with the partial detachment of the layer after placing the nut in the recess. ABS is a difficult material, I found out how precious it can be, it"s the first time I"ve used it. Success.
Ps. We have attached the design file in FreeCAD and you will be able to make whatever changes you want to freely express your technical options.
