As the power supply for my transmitters resides under the desk I have a separate volt meter so I can check that all is working as it should. My old LED one had some failed LEDs so I bought a cheap LCD one to replace it. The bare unit needed something to hold it in place so after 30 mins in TinkerCad I came up with:
The instruction were copied to Ultimaker Cura to produce a file for the 3D printer.
Unit rotated to print face down. No supports needed that way round.
2hr 34 minutes later it was ready to fit the meter:
Had to do a bit of minor filing as the hole was about 0.5mm too small but soon it was mounted, wired up and connected:
All done.
A bit more practise and you will be able to bin the files. It is a good job done. Looks perfect.
ReplyDeleteI suspect your printer is the better option. That resin spray thing Mark had was a pain. I had to make B&W slices at silly intervals to get it to work and I guess it doesn't as he has bee quiet for ages. It usd to sag on the printer plate unless you ran it slowly. The pattern makers down the road have a big one for doing patterns and cores for casting. Not seen it but I wonder how long they last. Those flask compressors give stuff some serious grief.
