Description
Tired of paying high prices for simple stand feet for your wall-mounted radiant panel or electric heater? I took inspiration from similar products found on major online stores and re-designed them from scratch to create a solution that is cost-effective, robust, and completely 3D printable!
This model is perfect for:
Converting a wall-mounted radiant panel into a portable, freestanding floor heater.
Stabilizing thin partition panels or screens that require a solid base.
Replacing original feet that have been lost or broken.
Maximum Stability: The wide base design ensures the panel remains stable and prevents wobbling or tipping.
Customizable Fit: If your panel has a specific thickness, the model can be easily scaled along the X-axis in your slicer to achieve a perfect fit. (Designed for panels 14mm thick.)
Cost-Saving: Why buy a simple accessory when you can print a better one for the cost of a few grams of filament?
Easy Print: The model is optimized for FDM printing.
Professional Assembly: Unlike simple snap-on solutions, this design utilizes a threaded insert and an M5 screw for each foot, ensuring an extremely strong, adjustable, and durable fixture.
To ensure maximum structural integrity and resistance to the weight of the panel and potential heat exposure (though the feet should not directly contact the heating element), the following settings are recommended:
| Setting | Recommendation | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Required Hardware | 1x Threaded Insert (heat-set or press-fit) and 1x M5 Screw per foot. | Ensures a professional, secure, and reusable clamping mechanism. |
| Material | The Main Body - PETG (Superior heat resistance) or PLA (if the panel does not generate high heat near the base) and a small Gasket/Pad (TPU). | PETG is highly recommended for long-term safety and durability near heat sources. |
| Layer Height | 0.20 - 0.28 mm | Good balance between speed and vertical strength. |
| Perimeters (Wall Loops) | 4 - 5 | Crucial for providing structural strength and supporting the panel's weight. |
| Infill (Density) | 20% - 30% (Pattern: Cubic or Gyroid) | Provides excellent mechanical resistance and rigidity. |
| Supports | NOT REQUIRED (if placed flat on the build plate). | Model should be oriented to print without support material. |
