That looks great! I was going to ask if you designed it, then the link popped up. What software did you use for the design?

I used FreeCAD, haven’t used CAD in a bit so it took 3 versions to get it exactly right and strong.

@Karl_Lockhart
The fact that it took three versions is one of the huge advantages of having a 3D printer!
I’ve had a few projects that took me several prints to get the design right.

Definitely agreed

Very slick!

Nice to see another Practical application post

I agree, great to see a real use for a 3D print. I’m a bit sick of all the ornaments and dust catchers, even if they are cute.

Great Part @Karl_Lockhart was wondering if you will be posting this on YouMagine.com for those of us not on Thingiverse?

Tnx @Karl_Lockhart . But after I posted I checked your link and it seems you don’t need to be a member to download. I haven’t actually d/l’ed it but the buttons are active.
