Okay this is the second time I’ve posted a picture and it’s rotated from how it is in my library. My library doesn’t seem to be saving the rotations I do to the actual photo data. Sorry!

What does it do?

Here’s an Imgur link that has more photos.

Basically, it slides into a slider on the post and the four rods hold the crossbar in place.

It's gonna melt any day now because you didn't use glass filled nylon!

Haha. I was a bit concerned about it, so I used ASA, and it seems to be holding up alright. Fingers crossed it continues to do so.

lol, honestly I'd never even heard about ASA until you mentioned it. Is it easier than ABS?

Bartsbigbugbag@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y (1 reply)

It’s not too bad. It does lift unless enclosed, but it’s basically ABS that’s slightly easier to print and UV resistant.

Sounds like a pretty good choice for this application!

I love that we can just print something off we need, every home needs a 3d printer, so goddam useful and a very fun hobby.

kinda reminds me of how it started with the guy that printed a giant frog mansion for his fence top
