Okay this is the second time I’ve posted a picture and it’s rotated from how it is in my library. My library doesn’t seem to be saving the rotations I do to the actual photo data. Sorry!

Here’s an Imgur link that has more photos.

Basically, it slides into a slider on the post and the four rods hold the crossbar in place.

It's gonna melt any day now because you didn't use glass filled nylon!

Haha. I was a bit concerned about it, so I used ASA, and it seems to be holding up alright. Fingers crossed it continues to do so.

[–] FartsWithAnAccent 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

lol, honestly I'd never even heard about ASA until you mentioned it. Is it easier than ABS?

[–] Bartsbigbugbag 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It’s not too bad. It does lift unless enclosed, but it’s basically ABS that’s slightly easier to print and UV resistant.

Sounds like a pretty good choice for this application!

I love that we can just print something off we need, every home needs a 3d printer, so goddam useful and a very fun hobby.
