Genesis Eyestalk TaperDec2
As above with 1cm insert into the next revision of the pivot, this insert should now be a solid piece compared to the previous version (should it shear away as per V1 it should fit back in & be pulled into place by the threaded rod as its tightened).
Genesis Eyestalk TaperDec3
As above .5cm insert into the first printed eye stalk spacer, this insert is smaller than originally planned as to fit on the printer bed of the Makerbot Replicator 2.
The pivot should not be printed first in the event that the pivot insert shears & can't be refitted.
ID of the threaded rod channel is approximately 1.62cm & this is to accommodate the 1.6cm diameter (approx) couplers for the 1.26mm threaded rod as used in my eye stalk design.
Print time on standard MB Replicator 2 should take about 2.5 hours & 40g (0.07IIbs).
Parts currently under (re) development to have a complete stalk assembly (add eye of your choice).
Pivot mounting.
Pivot with threaded rod channel or with threaded rod channel & insert guide hole.
1.2" diameter .75" long disc spacers with threaded rod channel & insert guide hole.
What's New in Version Version 2
Released
- Following on from my unpublished V1 which printed largely OK (See Genesis Hunt Build Dairy) & needed a bit of sanding to tidy up & the insert into the pivot sheared (This was able to be refitted).
- I finally got around to doing it again from first principles to get rid of artifacts\defects during printing & is presented in the three variants as described below.
