Smaller 2U Bracket #65
Description
The 2U Mini 4x LabStack Module x Bracket variants are too large to print on a Prusa MK4S print bed. I tried the split version however I found that:
- It's very unstable/flimsy when assembled and;
- It doesn't come with a version for the
M3x3x4.6mmheatset insert which I need.
I decided to 'remix' the 2U Mini 4x LabStack Module M3x3x4.6mm Heatset Bracket version, shortening it just enough that it can be printed on the MK3S print bed while still fitting in the rack cage nuts.
You can find the source design in onshape here:
Or you can reference the STL file I attached here:
2U Bracket - 2U Bracket.stl.zip
As I designed this from scratch only using the files from here as reference, it is not visually identical in every way. It is identical for all important dimensions.
The one relevant dimension I needed to change is the rack attachment holes which I needed to shorten very slightly. With my changes this just fits on my 3D printed Mod 10 Rack. I don't know how portable this is to other racks, but I assume it should work.
I'm putting all this here so that others can use this if they have the same problems as me, and also to let you know of the success I had with this modification. Please feel free to use this as reference if you want to make similar alterations and include short variations of the brackets in this repo.
