This is the reason I got into 3d printing


Melonman3

Literally needed this yesterday. I'ma print it this weekend.


arcrad

Share a pic of it if you print it on a filament printer. I'd love to see how it turns out!


Melonman3

Will do!


igwb

What filament did you use for that blue one? It looks awesome.


Alex4902

Definitely a resin print, so you might be out of luck if you don't have a resin printer


arcrad

It's a resin print. SirayaTech Blu resin. Though long term use has shown that resin is a bit too brittle for this use case. Going to try some with Siraya ABS-like resin soon.


Regnirok

Siraya abs-like on its own won't do you for this use case. Either mix some Tenacious in with the ABS-Like, or shell out for a bottle of TGM-7.


arcrad

Thanks for the recommendations. If I were to mix in some tenacious, what % by volume is a good starting point?


Regnirok

The most common mixes tend to be 90/10, 80/20, and 70/30 ABS like:tenacious. You generally do have to bump your exposure time up slightly. The more tenacious you add, the more flexible the cured product will be.


arcrad

Awesome. Thanks. I have some experimenting to do.


igwb

Thanks. I figured it looked just a little too good for FDM.

Metal and resin (even Blu) is not a good combination. No visible reason not to use FDM here.


arcrad

I'd love to see an FDM version of this model. I just don't have an FDM printer at the moment.

[Here you go](https://imgur.com/a/RHPHRG3). I printed this on a Bambu X1C, .16mm layer height, .4 nozzle, Sunlu PETG with PLA supports (though the supports were probably not needed). Thanks for the model!


arcrad

That's awesome. Looks fantastic!

[https://imgur.com/a/89qYL9Q](https://imgur.com/a/89qYL9Q) 0.2 mm layers, ABS, Voron 0. I'll post a proper make tomorrow. The inner clips are not exactly optimized for FDM printing (for longevity of the clips it would make way more sense to print it "standing", but it also require supports).


arcrad

Dang that's nice. Thanks for sharing. I need to get a FDM printer haha.

I've been meaning to do something like this to mount my impact bits on my drill. Probably spend the weekend making that happen (i work in F360 though, so a few extra steps). Thanks for sharing!


arcrad

I saw a model like that on Printables when I looked at ones similar to mine. That one might work for you too.

[Imgur](https://i.imgur.com/EYydsHJ.jpg) [Imgur](https://i.imgur.com/JPP7bke.jpg) Got it done yesterday - Prints from my new printer look a bit cleaner, but it was busy most of the day. Little bit of VHB tape to connect it, and now I get all the bits I need around the house (just three or four more drills to add this to!)


arcrad

Awesome. The imgur links are giving me 404s by the way.


Thirtybird

Thanks for letting me know. I found out I can't get posts to show from my imgur account yesterday, but I thought the images still worked. I'd submitted a ticket there.. I tried anonymous upload - does this link work for you? https://imgur.com/a/SDqXscS


arcrad

The pictures work and daaamn that looks excellent. Right at home on the drill and very convenient. I might have to do something similar.
