Description
In our lab we use a multitude of robotics parts. They sometimes have accidents at the hands of students, but often can still be salvaged. This air regulator pressure gauge is part of a pneumatics kit sold by Vex Robotics; it had an accident that broke its original cover, leaving the dial bare. The original design of the dial was not optimal for 3d printing, so I designed this one to take its place. It's pressure fitted, and held at the right height above the dial by a clip-on washer that is printed separately. To further protect the dial I popped in a lens, a stiff circle of clear petg recycled from packaging.
