About This File
If printing the Genesis 5.5" Tapered Eye Stalk - The pivot should not be printed first in the event that the pivot insert shears & can't be refitted.
Print with a raft to allow ease of joining the halves.
PivotJan8FFV4.stl - Flat faced (no insert for eye stalk) with threaded bar channel - Choose this one if you have a eye stalk that will not fit into the 1" insert (or if the insert has sheared during the printing).
PivotJan8INSV4.stl - Insert 1" diameter 1.1cm depth hole to accommodate straight or tapered eye stalks.
Print the guide 4mm diameter pin for ease of assembling the two halves if required.
Print time on standard profile MB Replicator 2 should take about 2.5 - 3 hours & use 2.5 39g (0.09IIb) on standard quality print settings for each half.
What's New in Version V4 See changelog
Released
- Upgrade From V3
- Tweaked size & position of "chamber" for threaded rod nut\coupler to remove "air print" defect, caused by inherent artifact. This weakened the pivot axle
- Adjusted & provided additional guide hole(s).
- Plans to reduce the chamber size aborted as it caused coding errors & deposited material when previewed.
- **************************************************
- V3 - Replacement for Pivot.STL 1.00
- STL files are one half of the pivot & two of one design will need be printed.
- Increased size of "chamber" for nut &\or coupler & ease of cable threading through the axle.
