Description
I designed these feet to protect the bar on my Bosch T4B Gravity Rise miter saw stand when the saw is being stored vertically (love the stand BTW). They also help take some of the heavy load off of the threaded feet when tilting the saw up, prevent marring the floor when using the saw inside, and allow easier positioning of the saw by sliding it around while in the vertical position. Printed in nylon, they are durable, mar free, slippery, and flexible enough to slip over the large tubing.
Print out 4x feet as oriented in the STL. The bottom is intentionally not filleted to help with bed adhesion; the bottom edges can be deburred by hand if desired (not required). Each foot is clamped to the bars using a pair of 3x16mm screws and nuts.

No
Resolution:
0.2mm
Infill:
30%
Filament: Taulman Bridge Nylon Black
Notes:
Use what works for you. My setup looked like this...
0.4mm nozzle0.45mm line width
5 walls
8 top/bottom layers
30% infill
5 line brim
boro glass bed (+elmers glue stick)
270C/110C
44C enclosure
60/30 mm/sec
I designed the thickness to go with 5 walls at 0.45mm width (for a 2.25mm total wall thickness). Don't go thinner than 2.25mm, otherwise the feet will be much weaker (you'll get infill inside heavy load bearing areas). Thicker is OK... just takes longer and uses more filament.
Note: My a8 is not stock... do not attempt to print nylon with a stock a8 hotend!
