Description
BOM: Printed with ROSA3D High Speed PLA Dark Blue
This is the "Double Wide" version of my structural mending plate set. At 40mm wide, these plates feature two parallel rows of holes.
Why use the wide version? While the standard 20mm strips are great for simple connections, a single row of screws can sometimes act like a hinge. This double-row design locks the joint completely, preventing the connected parts from rotating or twisting.
Specifications:
Width: 40mm (Double the standard width).
Thickness: 4mm (Rigid and heavy-duty).
Hole Pattern: 4.5mm diameter (perfect for M4 hardware).
The Set Includes (Lengths):
50mm
60mm
80mm
100mm
Applications:
Rigidly joining two flat panels.
Repairing broken furniture or plastic parts where extra surface area is needed.
Building robust frames where anti-rotation is critical.
Printing Instructions:
Material: PETG, ABS, or ASA are best for structural parts. PLA is acceptable for indoor, non-heat applications.
Infill: 100% (Solid) is recommended to prevent crushing when tightening screws.
Supports: None required.
