This bat system should work with any wheel where bat pins are spaced 10" apart! Will print with most standard FDM print beds (250 mm x 250 mm / 10" x 10").
Use Notes:
Assemble by sliding component A and B onto the dovetail on component C.
Secure to the wheel by placing the bat system on the wheel first then placing the pins through the holes.
Note: If not fully secured, it will move as you start centering / coning / opening.Snap inserts into place.
May be handy to have a flat head screw driver if the bat feels difficult to take out. Back of a wooden knife might work as well. Repeated use of the bat system makes it easier to pop inserts off.
(!) Print Notes:
Recommend to use ASA, ABS, PETG, or other filaments that withstand use with water.
While tests were done with PLA, it's not the best material for long term use.
Print at 0.15mm layer height with supports.
Layer heights adaptive and 0.2 works but the tolerances are fairly tight and a few iterations failed to mate. Slower prints with lower layer heights always had success. The 0.15mm layer height is also important for water proofing the inner cavity.
Recommended minimum use 4-6 wall perimeters, 25% infill, and 5 top/bottom layer heights.
Primarily a trade off between material use (cost) and longevity of the part.
Have not yet printed the insert with the concentric circle dashes, but hopefully there are no issues.
PS: Hexagons are the bestagons!
