3UDC and 156DT Developers Library for Clips and Display Tree

<p>Welcome to the Developers library for the 3UDC clip system and the 156DTmm display tree.</p><p>Both of these systems involves lots of components and I wanted to put parts and information needed to create things in a non-end user library.</p><p>These are links to associated libraries</p><ul><li><a href="https://www.printables.com/prints/126509">156DT Display Tree Library</a> (tower parts)</li><li><a href="https://www.printables.com/prints/126499">3UDC Accessory Library</a> (3UDC Connector Accessories)</li><li><a href="https://www.printables.com/social/116733-alwaystinkering/collections/120395">PrusaPrinters COLLECTION Library of KitCard Platforms</a> (platforms for Kitcards)</li><li><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/alwaystinkering/collections/kit-card-tree-platform-collection">Thingiverse COLLECTION Library of KitCard Platforms</a> (platforms for Kitcards)</li><li><a href="https://www.printables.com/prints/126506">3UDC and 155DT Developers Library</a> (This Library)</li><li><a href="https://www.printables.com/prints/126495">Kit Card Tree Parts and the 3UDC pivot platform</a> (kit card tree and the 3UDC swivel)</li></ul><p>In this library you will find dimensions, STL's you can import and other information. &nbsp;I look forward to what people come up with.</p><p><strong>3UDC clip</strong></p><p>The 3UDC clip is 3mm wide. &nbsp; The clip can be printed flat on ether side, standing up, or on its top with no supports. &nbsp; This is possible because the socket supports the clip being on the top or the right side. &nbsp;3UDC has a 1.6mm wall on the top and sides, the base can be whatever thickness you need. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>The tolerance on the 3UDC system is applied to the socket. &nbsp; By default .4mm was built in. &nbsp;While a little on the wider side of tolerance, I chose it as the default so most user may get usable results without tinkering. &nbsp; &nbsp;Unfortunately putting the clips on the outside of the socket means the tolerance is in the formula for the clip design. &nbsp;The clip gap has to take into account the wall thickness.&nbsp;</p><p>The sockets print upright or on their face with no supports. &nbsp;They can print on their left side on printers that have good bridging attributes using the default tolerance. &nbsp;A little center support if required.</p><p>The socket holds the weight of the content, not the clip… so no suspending things with clip entrance facing downward.</p><p><strong>156DT</strong></p><p>The 156DT is a 15.6mm modular tower. &nbsp;Display tower can accommodate the 3UDC socket, pinned wheels, bowls, trays etc. &nbsp;</p><p>The tower. &nbsp;The original design was just the round pin with the wedge to give some tension and present spinning. &nbsp; At 15.6mm bridging was nominal on the holes however the inconsistency varied between materials making for mixed results. &nbsp; The wedge was added to the top. &nbsp;This cuts directly into the bridge area.. &nbsp;the wedge does nothing operationally, but it has to exist in the hole, on the wedge and on accessories to go over the hub.</p><p><strong>5UDC Clip</strong></p><p>I am adding some 5mm clips. &nbsp;These are 5mm wide instead of 3. &nbsp;You can see I used these extensions with the 5mm to 3mm adapter to pose the Kit Card Planes in front of the tower.</p><p>** Other than the adapter 5UDC to 3UDC the sockets and clips are NOT interchangeable. &nbsp;They just share the same design attributes.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
