I&#39;ve wanted to build an insert press for a long time. then I looked for something that I didn&#39;t have to buy extra parts for and was &#34;good enough&#34;, but again I didn&#39;t find anything...&nbsp;&nbsp;so I developed my own press. You can print everything except 6x 608 zz ball bearings which you have to press in.&nbsp;&nbsp;For assembly you need: - First the 6 bearings are pressed in - join your arms - arms to the headpiece - arms with headpiece to the base&nbsp;&nbsp;It is important to ensure that everything is printed very precisely and does not wobble too much. It&#39;s better to be slightly too tight and grease it than to be too loose. The pins for tapping in should be tested beforehand. They are designed so that they have to be shuttered, but the material should not split apart.&nbsp;It&#39;s not an easy print but I think it&#39;s cool XD&nbsp;Material: PETG, ABS, Nylon or so&nbsp;btw: In the pictures you can see the old arms, now they are different lengthsand as always if you think of something that I can change/improve, please let me know

UPDATED!! notes at bottom&nbsp;after printing the standard scraper preloaded on the X1C i quickly realized 2 things.&nbsp;<ol><li>the preloaded scraper was far too small</li><li>although it looks like it would go over the door handle it is, in fact, too small for this as well and does not fit!</li></ol>so after scouring through a TON of scrapers i sat down and combined the hexagon pattern (honestly it just looks good) with the Bambu lab logo and corrected the size. at first i had thought to just use magnets to attach it to the side of the case until i realized it was aluminum and therefore non-magnetic. so after some quick measurements i cut a hole through the hexagons before realizing 3 more things. the first being that the glass blocked the test scraper from attaching to the machine (oof, i should have realized). secondly that i needed a bigger hole then what the inner part of the handle would be as mounting it means it goes at a diagonal. lastly that if i increased the size of the scraping head i could use it as a bigger door handle! a few more iterations to get tolerances right and we have what you can see, a scraper… with a hole. so yea way way over designed it even tried adding some little feet so the scraper would try and nest itself. obviously that was not necessary as the fit is INCREDABILY snug to begin with so you have the option to keep them or use the version without. the one thing i cant fix is the height of the scraper. if i go much higher it wont go on as the glass blocks installing.&nbsp;by all means if you would like to edit this (maybe add some finger grooves? or perhaps a custom handle to replace the stock one?) be my guest.&nbsp;NEW: after a week of use the tabs used to hold the scraper in place no longer hold it so i set out to make it as tight as possible! afte rounding the side by the glass and cutting out a groove on the rounded side this now has less then 1mm of room to slide around and less then 0.2 mm or room to twist on to the door! this is about as tight as it can get without rounding the handle itself. printing with supports WILL make a super miniscule support that is really not needed.
