This is is a Gridfinity holder for a #2 Swage-It tool for nicopress swaging of 1/16", 3/32", and 1/8" wire rope cable. This has many applications including aircraft control cables, boat rigging, garage doors, etc. If you find yourself swaging a lot of cables, you probably want to buy a more efficient tool, but if you only swage cables occasionally, this is a good tool to have and it doesn't take up much space in your tool box or bag. This fits into 1x5 squares, with room left for an ATS 54-11 cable go/no-go gauge, and a couple of small recess for spare nicopress sleeves or whatever.
Like my other Gridfinity models, the base is altered to accept 6x3 magnets as a press fit, with the upper surface of the magnet holes modified to make the slicer bridge across correctly for a clean result. Due to the size of this model, I have included sacrificial “mouse ears” in the CAD to give the ends more surface area to help prevent them warping off the bed. These will need to be removed after printing.
The unit pictured was printed out of Overture PLA on my Bear upgraded Mk3S+, using a 0.6mm nozzle, at 0.3mm layer height.
