Description
Tired of flimsy, unstable feet for your infrared panel heater? This is a completely re-engineered, heavy-duty foot bracket designed for maximum stability, transforming your wall-mounted panel into a secure, freestanding portable heater.
This is the new, upgraded version of the foot bracket, specifically designed for larger radiant panels. This "Large Model" features an extra-wide base to significantly improve stability, eliminating the wobbling and tipping common with previous designs and commercial models.
Superior Stability: The large, wide footprint significantly increases the stability of the panel, making it safer for floor use.
100% 3D Printable (No Hardware Needed!): This design includes fully 3D printable thumbscrews that screw directly into the main body of the bracket. No metal screws, inserts, or separate materials required!
Robust Clamping: The printed thumbscrews provide a firm, adjustable, yet gentle grip on your panel.
Scratch-Free: The smooth plastic contact points minimize the risk of scratching the panel's surface during installation.
Customizable Fit: Designed to fit panels with a thickness of up to 28mm. The model can be slightly scaled in your slicer to adjust the fit if needed.
Required Printed Components:
For each printed bracket, you will need:
1x Main Body (This piece includes the integrated thread structure)
2x Printed Knurled Thumbscrews (Screws directly into the Main Body)
To ensure maximum strength and thermal resistance (due to proximity to the heater), PETG is highly recommended for all parts.
| Setting | Recommendation | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Material (All Parts) | PETG (Recommended for superior heat and warp resistance). | Provides safety and durability near a heat source. |
| Layer Height | 0.20 mm | Excellent balance between detail and structural integrity. |
| Perimeters (Wall Loops) | 3 - 4 | Crucial for ensuring the integrated threads in the body are strong enough to hold the screw and the clamp. |
| Infill (Density) | 30% (Pattern: Cubic or Gyroid) | Provides robust mechanical resistance. |
