Ryobi R18TR Router to Evolution Track Adapter

thingiverse

I was looking for an adapter to use the Evolution saw track with my Ryobi One R18TR trim router and couldn't find one, so I have created one loosely based upon this one which was created by Dawoodster66: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5389665 The adapter plate mounts to the bottom of the router using the original mounting screws after first removing the clear plastic foot that was supplied with the router. For ease of use I have embossed the distance from the track to the router centre on the side (60mm), and the direction of spin arrows. I have included technical drawings showing the router mounting hole spacings and other mounting parameters, plus a technical drawing of the track this is designed to fit to allow you to check if this will fit your own router / track. I believe the evolution track has the same dimensions as several others, and the routers have a number of common configurations. I have designed the part to print without supports if printed on its side in the orientation provided in the STL. I ended up using rafts as I was getting a little warping due to the small contact area with the build plate when printing on its side, however you may be able to print without, you can see the surface on the raft is not as smooth as other sides so if you can avoid it I recommend doing so. I have printed and mounted this and tested it smoothly fits the both the rail and router, however I have not yet started the project I designed it for so I haven't completed testing yet.
