General information
At the end of 2024, I set up version 11 of Helmut Weigl's RoeTest. In the process, I created some 3D designs that I am making available to the community in this collection. You can read more information about my build of the RoeTest and the use of the designs published here in my build report at Radio-Bastler.de (German) or on the RoeTest website (German).
About this Design
This part is the socket adapter rails on the frontpanel of the RoeTest. It consists of three parts connected to the frontpanel by 4pcs M3 x 10mm flathead screws (longer screws will collide with the main transformer!). This rail design differs from the original hand crafted rail design. It is not compatible to original socket boxes, but there is an adapter available, if needed. Please refer to my other RoeTest-designs for socket boxes and an adapter for original socker boxes.
I recommend to print it from PETG in variable layer height 0.1…0.3mm.
Compensating for part shrinkage
Since the parts are already quite large/long, you should compensate for material shrinkage: Print a sample using the same material and settings and measure shrinkage of the printed parts compared to the model. Then in the slicer apply a size scale factor in x- and y- direction. In my designs I usually have to use a factor of around 1.0025…1.0045 to compensate for my PETG material.
OpenScad source code included.
Happy printing!
