Parametric Tailstock Die Holder

Parametric Tailstock Die Holder.

Required printed parts:

• TailStockDieHolder_knurl_nuts.stl (1x) or TailStockDieHolder_hex_nuts.stl (1x) or TailStockDieHolder_square_nuts.stl (1x)
• MTA_shank_2_12_30.stl or MTA_shank_2_12_40.stl (1x)

Required other parts:

• tommy bar, diameter 9 mm, length 140 mm (1x)
• m4 knurl nut, length 5 mm (2x), or m4 hex nut (2x), or m4 square nut 8x8x2mm (2x)
• m4 hex screw (2x)

Remarks:

• ABS (50% infill), I did print without support with the narrow part of the die holder facing the print bed
• the dies I am using: diameter 24.9 mm, thickness 8.5 mm
• MTA_shank_2_12 has morse taper MT2 on one side and diameter 12 mm cylinder on other side
• my recommended version is the one using the square nuts. Using the version with the knurl nuts, when tightening the screws strongly, the knurl does tend to move outwards. The hex nut version I did not test myself; I expect this version to work much better than the knurl nuts, but worse than the square nuts.
