Description
I didn't like the mounts that were available so I made my own that are strong and easy to print.
It reduces Z height by around 50mm. I don't have a stock printer so I don't know the exact number. If you want to measure before you print, the top mounts stick down 90mm from the top bar.
(16) M4 x 16mm screws
(16) M4 T nuts
(2) 2ft of 5/16 threaded rod
(8) 5/16 nuts
(6) 5/16 washers
Helpful Tips:
ALL filament shrinks after cooling.
The amount of shrinkage depends on the type of filament.
PLA shrinks about 0.25%
PetG shrinks around 0.35%
Taulman 910 shrinks 0.31%
That means a PLA part printed at 200mm long will be short by 0.5mm.
I scale all my stuff in the slicer to 100.25% to compensate for most shrinkage.
Measure for yourself if you don't believe me!
Humid air is actually lighter than dry air,
so it's best to have the dessicant at the top of a container you want to keep dry.
Check my designs for a dry box you can make.
