Cool, I look forward to seeing your results. I printed out the two retainers for the strip a little earlier this evening. I’m waiting for the temps to come up to print the slide in two pieces. It’ll be a 3.5 hr print. I print at fairly low speeds and .2 layer height. I’m still pretty new at this. I haven’t even gotten through my first kg reel of abs.
Here are the files: The parts were done in solidworks 07
If you want to use them, you will need to adjust the guide to accommodate the .25 material you are using. I drilled 3/4" holes for the guide, and a slightly larger than 1/4" slot. The hole on the right side is about 2 1/4" to the left of the right Z rod, and the two holes are 13" on center.
