Description

What Changed

I wanted to stack these together but the hub PTFE disconnect tool was too short (or the buffer fork too long) for that to work. What started as fixing that resulted in the following changes:

repaired the buffer fork as the exported mesh had some holes
the disk at the front of the fork was not centered properly so I re-created the entire front end to fix that
created an embossed version with the word “HUB” across it to identify this set as being made specifically with the Hub disconnect tool
- a non-labeled version exists as well if you do not wish to do color swaps
increased the length of the PTFE disconnect tool to be a happy medium between the buffer fork and power disconnect tool
filled the magnet holes on the fork and PTFE disconnect tools
spaced out the magnet holes on the power disconnect tool
resized the holes in the rear of the tools
- the buffer fork has a space large enough to accommodate either a Pan or Socket head M4 screw with a washer, flush with the top surface
- the PTFE disconnect tool has a through-hole
- The power disconnect tool has a through hole and a hexagonal void to receive an M4 hex nut

I didn't want so many magnets and have a bunch of M4 screws laying around. Instead of six 6x3 magnets, you'll need:

2x 6x3mm magnets (and CA glue/epoxy)
1x M4x18 Pan Head or Socket Head Screw
3x M4 Washers
1x M4 Hex Nut
ThreadLocker strongly recommended

If you do not have/want to use washers, use an M4x16 Screw instead.

Assembly

Put a washer on your screw and feed it through the large opening of the buffer fork.
Put a washer on the end of the screw and feed the screw through the hole in the PTFE disconnect tool.
Put another washer on the end of the screw and feed it through the hole in the power disconnect tool.
Add some ThreadLocker to your nut and screw it all together, just barely a little loose (to your preference).
Give the ThreadLocker some time to dry.
Glue in your magnets.

Gern geschehen!

@MaestroMattX

Great print made even better by the addition of a screw to keep them all together!

PLA is OK for this tool. Perfect layers. Support covers places for magnets and this isfine for me as I do not have them. Thx for that project.

@RevHazlett

Looks great! I find this 'essentials' set easy enough to tuck away and binding it together keeps it from getting scattered around.

Seems like a nice design! I like the way the tools folds together with the screw/nut. When I first printed it, I didn't realize why the spots for the nut and the magnets were filled in. Being new to 3D printing, I hadn't seen a pop out support before! Minor point as it was user error, but I hadn't realized this could be done this way! I'll have to learn this technique! Perhaps your instructions should mention it for those of us that are new as I was about to turn off supports to print a second copy to get this to print without covering the holes. I took a tool and was able to pry out the supports that were inside of the depression for the nut and magnets. Also, it turns out that I happened to have a small sharp pointed self-tapping type of screw (almost like a wood screw, but with a pan head) in my drawer that fit perfectly. I used the support from the hex hole that was supporting the nut depression as a sort of 'nut' and simply screwed in the screw right into! This way I didn't have to go hunting for the proper length screw and nut. It worked perfectly, so in the end, it was a win/win situation! LOL

@RevHazlett

Welcome to the world of 3D printing! If you're looking in Studio/Orca at a print, check the "Line Type" color scheme in the Preview tab. Supports are displayed by default with a different color to help distinguish them. If the support settings are well defined they should provide support for whatever is above them without bonding so hard at to be difficult to remove. It's a fine line to balance sometimes! You can also dig up kits of various size screws, bolts, nuts, etc off Amazon or Ali - very useful to have (also various magnets!) for little prints like this!

@richbo

Replying to @RevHazlett :

thank you for the tip! After printing and looking at the parts I hadn't thought about looking at line types. At this point I was looking at your assembly instructions. that's why I thought about mentioning "remove the support plugs in the nut location and magnet holes". But you are right, it's a rookie mistake. 😉

the Design ist very good. i printed in ABS but Had some issue, but i think it was a selfmade configuration thing. my print ist not beautiful but it works.

The designer has replied

@RevHazlett

Kevin did a pretty good job on the design for sure! I had not adjusted scaling or speeds for ABS... I wonder if perhaps it didn't have sufficient layer time to cool naturally?

@user_814340454

Replying to @RevHazlett :

yeah thats why i said it was a selfmade Problem. i tinkered a lot with the profile, not enough to make it beautifull from every point of view. but enough, that it will work for it's purpuse. thats why i gave 5 Star, even it was not the hoped result. i still have to learn a lot about 3D printing. i'm very Sure that it was a Temperatur problem. Not sure about If IT was a nozzle or bed temp problem
