Description

A reinforced version of the original part from 118 Design.
The original is made of aluminum and can easily withstand the load of a strong spring. If it is made of PLA, it breaks after approx. 50-200 cycles, depending on which spring is used.

 

This version has a higher wall proportion and chamfers and curves which minimize the predetermined breaking points.

 

After printing, I heated and hardened the push rod on the 3mm axle rod with a lighter for about 5 minutes.

(do not let it get too hot, always turn it a little and maintain a temperature of approx. 80-100 °C)
Afterwards, the material warped and had to be reworked a little with a file.

 

But now, in the end, it holds what it should without breaking.

When you say you heated and hardened the push rod, do you mean the plunger rod? As in to increase adhesion strength?
