Description

Summary

skinny holder for a tektronix plug (AM503 current amp is what I use it with, but any TM500 module ( http://www.barrytech.com/tektronix/tektm500/tektm500.html ) should work.

I don't have the tektronix power supply where this TM500 plugs go in so I'm using home made psu for these plugs and this "holder" to keep it off the "ground"

Printer:

my custom printer with no name

Doesn't Matter

Supports:

No

                                            

Infill:

20%



Notes:

I sliced with hexagon infill 20% and stopped the print (intentionally) before the top layer was printed so that I have the visible hexagon pattern ..

the parts are rather thin and long so if you are printing with ABS make sure you have good bed adhesion and bed at ~100C (or more) so your edges don't warp

you need a properly calibrated printer so that parts mesh together properly

Post-Printing

mesh them together

            

you add one part on top and one part on bottom of the module and mesh them together (dovetail link). if your printer is properly calibrated you won't need any post processing to mesh them together. if your printer is not properly calibrated then sand the parts a bit so that they mesh properly. (if you need a lot of sanding consider properly calibrating your printer, you can start with http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:52946 )
