Where did you find one used and cheap at lol

Detroit

I was shocked to see it pop up on offer App

For designing threads, often you can find an existing STL on thingiverse that has the thread you need, and then basically chop it out of the model and then re-use. That's what I did for my remix of the COR strainer, I found a BSPP thread print for something (was actually an openscad, so even better) and chopped off the rest of the fitting and then crammed it into the COR strainer someone else built.

I do this all the time using the McMasters-Carr library. Works well. Stupid Fusion and not putting in NPT or MIP threads. I also find by hacking in the threads from there I do not need to futz with tread tolerances like I have to do when I use Fusion.

For my LED's I made something similar to that kessil thing, but did it in white PETG. Added alot of PAR under the light. (or concentrated I should say)

Printed thick enough, there is almost no side-spill out the sides, even white.

is there any way I can get the STL for the frag stand legs?? id love to have that!

What's the McMasters-Carr library?

@dantimdad I get an error when I try to open your message- either this morning on laptop, or on my phone (now). Did you delete it/not want the file?

 

[dantimdad]

Weird, I will resend it. My phone glitched something terrible last night. That may have caused it.

In Fusion 360 you can go under insert and there is a option of McMasters-Carr. Clicking that opens their online catalog. You can find the part you are looking for click on details and somewhere on the details page you will see a download drawing drop down box, I believe I use the SAT file type.. sorry trying to do this based off memory, I am traveling and my PC is home.

I an making Tunze Osmulator stands with mount for apex optical sensor. Someone wanted it to have suction cup feet, and be raised higher to avoid sucking Kalk slurry.

Your wish is much command.... I present to you:

Do you have the file to print this and willing to share?

 

[dantimdad]

I think there is one on thingiverse for that.

I think there is one on thingiverse for that.

I found one for the PMUP but not the osmulator

What printer do you have? Shoot me a message...

Unfortunately that is one of the few items we released to market so I cannot share that at the moment. I will keep you posted though if things change. We currently share a lot of our designs on thing a verse

What's the McMasters-Carr library?

I saw a good answer above, but for additional info: It is a library dedicated from their site that sells a lot of parts for things like nuts and bolts. I used to order through them to stock an entire warehouse back in the day. Thankfully this library allows all of us to pull in the design and print it so we can make useful parts without paying for metal or shipping

Have a link to what you are referring to by “frag stand legs”?

Think the post was referring to the first post I started this thread with.

Just something to hold up eggcrate? A square in a square? Hard to keep that “not released”....

Dont disagree and anyone can build their own anytime. I am aware of that. But when you design something from scratch and have a market for it, doesnt make a ton of sense to make it readily available. At least not in the beginning. It took time to get to where they are at now, with several tests in several tanks. Sharing is a major part of the fun and we are consistently coming up with new ideas, or replicating things we find and sharing those files. Just three things at the moment we are not sharing yet.

It took a ton of time to make a square to fit into a eggcrate square? Test tanks? Testing what?

I agree with you overall, but I don’t quite follow how it could take more than 2 minutes. Even if you don’t have a caliper, internal dimensions of eggcrate are commonly available.

Draw a square. Extrude it to the height you want. Draw a smaller square. Extrude it.

I only bring this up because it feels like you are exaggerating the difficulty of modeling, which can be discouraging to people.
