FridgeFreezer Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 One too many episodes of Project Binky led to me making quite a few nylon block cable/pipe clamps in the 109, but I got fed up trying to add up in a cold shed so made an online version, as well as an OpenSCAD version: Online version - give it a list of spaces, holes, and mounts and it will generate a scale drawing (SVG image) as well as a straight list of holes to drill if you're doing it manually. OpenSCAD version - generates a 3d object you can print or mill as well as outputting a similar drill-list in the comments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowie69 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 OK, now you made me need a 3D printer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSD's printed some very strong stuff in nylon, carbon-fibre reinforced, and PET-T which pulled the glass bed apart Depending how my weekend goes I might get the mill up and running to allow me to machine brackets but chances are I'll still be hand-drilling the darn things in the garage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowie69 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I'd expect unreinforced nylon would be enough for these, but obviously no experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 Nylon yes - but brittle / low-temp stuff like the default PLA is probably not going to enjoy an engine bay. Not sure about fuel/oil resistance either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
