Track Saw Guide Holder for Minis

I realized after publishing that my original was too long to fit on the mini build plate, so I added a joint and an additional fastener to allow printing.

My take on a print-in-place guide rail holder.

• The rail is printed on its side for maximum strength
• The knob is printed in place with detents every 90 degrees and a strengthening hole through the center to increase wall count.
• The counterbored mounting holes for machine screws and washers have monolithic regions in the bolt clamping area to resist crushing
• Countersink finishing washers printed with concentric walls are provided for mounting with wood or drywall screws.
• Logos print separately, face up for best appearance, with a single color change for lettering.
• Asymmetric mounting / locating nubs ensure proper logo orientation when gluing.
• A joint and an additional fastener are added to the mini version to allow printing on smaller beds without reducing strength

The print profile is pretty standard. I tweaked the speeds of the letters a bit, but honestly, I don't know how much a difference it makes.

• AMS – Plate 1 is set for AMS use. Delete any unwanted logos and print.
• non-AMS – Plates 2 and 3 are set for non AMS use with a pause for color swap at layer 7 on plate 3
• Artisanal – The logo letters are raised making it possible to print plate 1 in a single color and carefully color the raised logo letters by hand with a paint pen.

The knobs will be stuck when it comes off the plate. Give them a firm twist and they should free.

Mine are in PLA. They are plenty strong, but they aren't in a van or on a hot garage door. If you print them in something more temperature resistant, let me know!

This is part of my growing track saw collection. If you have a request or suggestion let me know!
