Kitchen drawer rail mount

prusaprinters

<p>A while back my moms kitchen utensil drawer had an unfortunate run-in with an angry human (not me!) who slammed the drawer shut.</p> <p>This cased the original rail holder to snap. My mom didn't want to replace it, and I wanted to experiment with modeling, so I took on a challenge to replace it.</p> <p>I went through a couple designs and landed on one that beefs the part that failed up a little, but would still be functional.</p> <p>The first printed object lasted a year before another run-in with the same angry human (again, not me!) broke it in the different spot, and damaged the other side.</p> <p>The second time printing it (and its neighbor in mirror mode), I added a simple screw plate to absorb some of the impact in case this happens again.</p> <p>The height between the bottom layer and the sacrificial layer is about 11mm. The width is 25mm.</p> <p>Behind the part, it sits over a wood bar. This is about 24mm x 9mm.</p> <p>This is by no means perfect, but its been working in place (including the first breakage) for 2 years now.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>Category: Replacement Parts Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong> Prusa</p> <p><strong>Printer:</strong> Mk2.5s</p> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong> No</p> <p><strong>Supports:</strong> No</p> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong> 0.20</p> <p><strong>Infill:</strong> 50%</p> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> MakerGeeks Raptor PLA Yellow<br/> <strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>Flip the model so the large flat part lies against the bed. This will give it the best structural chance to survive.</p> <p>No supports are needed as there is a single sacrificial bridge layer that will be cut out.</p> <p>The main part was printed in the MakerGeeks Raptor PLA (Since they do not exist anymore, I think this is similar to PLA+ materials) and was annealed. The screw absorption plate was printed in PETG.</p> <p>Due to the annealing process causing some shrinkage, I resized the part by +4% in the slicer. This was probably too much, but it worked.</p>
