peter E...RE: "Is there an STL file available please?",
I did design a replacement fitting for what came with my sunshield kit, so I now have five STLs that I can get to you. I've made some changes to make things easier...
(1) I replaced the metric screws in the old design with four 1/4" 4-40 philip head screws, which are available at Home Depot and Ace.
(2) I replaced that hex-head screw with a more standard 1" round-head 8-32 screw, again commonly available. You will also need one 8-32 hex nut.
(3) I simplified the adjustment nut fitting to just be a 8-32 clearance hole in the plastic. Seems to be holding up fine so far.
So, a pic of the new configuration is below, There are 5 STLs:
(1) The main faceplate fitting that spans across the top of the RC.
(2) The fitting behind it that slips onto the front of the antenna cavity (new, and not shown).
(3) The green limit block that the 8-32 screws pops into (and is now further held in place with thin superglue).
(4) The gate latch added to make the fitting a cruise control
(5) The adjustment wheel, that has an 8-32 nut cavity for a nut that drives the adjustment.
So, what kind of printer and slicer do you have? Part (2) requires that you print with supports from the slicer, Do you know how to do that? |
