3D Printed Parts
Posted by: macuserman on 2021-11-22 12:07:34
Is there a list of 3d parts and models somewhere that we are maintaining? I am in need of several random parts and I keep looking to see if there are models but most don't seem to have it.

Even stupid little parts like these motherboard clips I had a stash of these from way back when all these machines were worthless and we parted them out by the dozens, but I find most of my recent shipments have arrived with a handful or all of these clips busted and I’m going through my stash rather quickly. Seems like a lot of this stuff would be very easy to print but getting models is the trick of course.

Making the model isn't really the hard part, but printing can be with something that small and complex. I don't suppose the side resting on your fingers is completely flat? If so then it looks like it could print without supports and that orientation will lend itself to a strong print, where layers are not in a position to shear off.

Was serious about the modelling part - if someone sends me a clip, I'll produce the model.

I think I may take you up on that and send you a few odds and ends to model

Resin printers are getting cheap now. They'd be great for smaller parts like bezels, clips, feet, buttons, LED windows, etc.

Sorry for chiming in late... there is another thread on this topic...
