<p><strong>GRAVITRAX</strong>; Footplate Issue</p><p><strong>GRAVITRAX; </strong>Updated Footplate for Column (v.20211121.r00); Updated Footplate for Stone (v.20211121.r00)</p><p>I noticed that when printing with other materials a problem occurred with clicking the footplates in place. To begin with it is very tight and force is needed to click them in, but it was intended that way. I printed with ABS and it was harder to click them in place but still worked.</p><p>However, when printing with different PLA with some PLA’s the little stubs were printed bigger then designed and I was not able to click the footplates in. Best result I got with simple AMAZON Basic-fill PLA and to my surprise the with prints with PRUSA PLA I was not able at all to click the footplates on.</p><p>To resolve above issue, I shaved of 0.2 mm on both sides of the stubs. On the footplate for stones I also reduced the height of the stubs (so they are suitable for 5 mm height blocks), as well went with a 14 mm diameter hole in the middle (to allow a ball to fall through).</p><p>I do not like to use the “horizontal expansion” option for holes, as it also influences openings that you do not intend to become bigger.&nbsp;</p><p>So here available are 2 alternative footplate that I will try use as universal footplates for my designs</p><p>More to come, if you like it and you are rich enough then <a href="https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/nigeke1962"><strong>Paypal Me</strong></a>, else just enjoy!</p><p><strong>G-code details: (Footplate Stone)</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Printer: Prusa MK3/S/S+</strong></li><li>Material: PLA (1.75mm); 2 gr.; 0.63 m</li><li>Print settings:<ul><li>Nozzle 0.4 mm</li><li>Extruder 210 C°</li><li>Heated bed 60&nbsp;C°</li><li>Layer 0.15 mm</li><li>Infill: Grid 20%</li><li>Adhesion: Skirt</li></ul></li><li>Print time (est.): 16 min.</li><li>Software: Cura v.4.12.0</li><li>Stl file: exported from dwg</li></ul><p><strong>&nbsp;G-code details: (Footplate Column)</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Printer: Prusa MK3/S/S+</strong></li><li>Material: PLA (1.75mm); 4 gr.; 1.47 m</li><li>Print settings:<ul><li>Nozzle 0.4 mm</li><li>Extruder 210 C°</li><li>Heated bed 60&nbsp;C°</li><li>Layer 0.15 mm</li><li>Infill: Grid 20%</li><li>Adhesion: Skirt</li></ul></li><li>Print time (est.): 31 min.</li><li>Software: Cura v.4.12.0</li><li>Stl file: exported from dwg</li></ul>
