Height adjustable table

<p><strong>What is it?</strong></p><p>It is a height adjustable table with basic dimensions (length x width) of 225x200mm. The height can be adjusted from 115mm to ~ 200mm with a crank.</p><p>The table is sized so that it can be printed on the most common printers such as Ender 3 or Prusa i3.</p><p>The tolerances of all printed parts (gears, bearing seats, threads, etc.) are optimized for 3D printing.</p><p>(Please make sure that your printer is calibrated reasonably well, otherwise you will have problems pressing in the bearings.)</p><p>&nbsp;The parts can of course be printed without any support material.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Why print a table like this?</strong></p><p>Let's be honest, the design with the bevel gears, the 3-gear-train and the threads, just looks cool :D Besides, it has proven to be surprisingly useful in my workshop (e.g. when you want to clamp something long in the vice and support it on the other side at a defined height).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>What is needed?</strong></p><ol><li>The 3D printed parts</li><li>Purchased roller bearings</li></ol><p>(For more details, see attached PDF-File)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Cost:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>For the table you need about 500g filament. Costs about 10€</p><p>The roller bearings for the table are available on the internet for ~30 to 40€. They ensure that the height adjustment of the table can be done without audible noise and almost frictionless.</p><p>-&gt;The table can be produced for ~40 - 50€. I know, that's not exactly cheap, but why not print something that looks cool, attracts the attention of every visitor and can be useful in addition? :D&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Print time:</strong></p><p>I have printed all parts on my RatRig V-Core 3-500 within 7h.<br>Print time on an Ender3 or Prusa i3? I would estimate about 1 full day.</p><h3>&nbsp;</h3><p><strong>Recommended print settings:</strong></p><p><br>Nozzle diameter: 0.4mm (I printed everything with a 0.6mm nozzle, worked fine).<br>Layer height: 0.15mm (I printed with 0.2.<br>Material: PLA+ (Normal PLA or PETG will also work).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>PS:</strong></p><p>If the Deign is well received by some people, I will perhaps invest some additional time and design a second version of the table, based entirely on 3D printed parts, without purchased bearings.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Attached is a PDF document to help assemble the table.</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Have fun!</strong></p><p>-TED</p>
