BBQ Thermometer Holder - Maverick Redi Chek ET-733

thingiverse

This is a stand for the Redi Chek Maverick barbecue digital thermometer (model ET-733). It has a flat base and an angled slot that fits both the primary and remote thermometers. I found the supplied stand for the outdoor/primary thermometer way too flimsy and it kept blowing over in the wind (it blew off the bbq a few times and nearly broke). This stand is much more stable. Print Settings Printer Brand: MakerGear Printer: MakerGear M2 Rafts: No Supports: No Infill: 50% Notes: I printed this in PLA, print speed 4800mm/min, 0.2mm layer height, 50% infill. You could play around with the infill. Extrusion width 0.4mm. How I Designed This I designed this using a pair of digital calipers to measure the thermometer and added about 2mm to the width/depth to allow for any printing variation. I then used Autodesk Fusion360 to make a couple of simple boxes (one for the base and one to hold thermometer), angled the top one back and used the Loft function to fill in the space beneath/in front. I had no idea if the Loft would work but it worked perfectly and saved me having to worry about ugly supports under the angled box. Very happy with result. Exported to .stl opened in Simplify3D, transferred to HD card and printed on Makergear M2. Total time from idea to finished print was about 3 hours!
