Lathe change gear holder - 7x10 minilathe

prusaprinters

<p>This tray system provides convenient storage for lathe change gears for 7x10, 7x12, 1x14 mini-lathe gears, and the large text labels make gear selection easier. The trays include spaces for non-standard gears which are available in a related set of 3D prints (search for "lathe change gears").</p> <p>The systems consists of 5 trays, and a set of hinge pins to fasten them together. Before assembling the trays, I recommend high-lighting the text for the gear sizes with a felt-tip permanent marker (Sharpie or similar). To assemble the trays, insert a hinge pin in the bottom tray and press it in until the groove in the pin sets into the ring in the hinge (using a small vise to press in the pin makes it easier); be careful not to lush the pin in too far or it will not mate with the next tray. With the pin inserted, add a tray on top and press down onto the pin. Rotating the trays back and forth can help to seat the pins. Continue to assemble all five trays.</p> <p>Note that the prints provide some extra pins and pin "test blocks" - you can use these to practice inserting the pins if you like.</p> <p>I did not provide a lid for the trays as I did not think one was needed,</p> <p>The OnShape 3D CAD files for this are available here:</p> <p><a href="https://cad.onshape.com/documents/f26a025f790f9339b6e7b472/w/47d2069a512cab56b7d1459b/e/adf335f11efc3d0098c20b91">https://cad.onshape.com/documents/f26a025f790f9339b6e7b472/w/47d2069a512cab56b7d1459b/e/adf335f11efc3d0098c20b91</a></p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>Use the 3mffiles provided; otherwise:</p> <ul> <li>0% infill</li> <li>rectilinear top and bottom infill</li> <li>perimeters = 4</li> </ul>
