ACO ShowerDrain S - distance blocks for metal strip

thingiverse

These distance holders for ACO ShowerDrain S solve for me three problems that i have with the original ones: the original ones are too small and dont fit well (assuming the correct ones had been shipped). it is too hard to remove the metal bar with fingers only - so one of the distance holders has a handle that is pushed down on one side, so that the other end of the handle rises and can be grabbed with the fingers. an additional grid at those distance blocks helps to keep hair from clogging the main center grid too quickly. final note: I have also added the 123d files so that in case the height needs to be adjusted, its fairly easy with 123d to use the push/pull feature. Print Settings Printer Brand: MakerBot Printer: MakerBot Replicator (5th Generation) Rafts: Yes Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 10% Notes: Only the one block with the handles needs an upright print and thus supports. All the other blocks can be printed with supports off. I customized the supports settings so that only for angles beyond 85 degrees a support would be generated. This worked beautifully as only a small area of one block had supports and those were super easy to remove. So go to custom settings and adjust "support angle" to 85.
