RoeTest InsertBox

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 is a 3D printed version of an InsertBox as described on the RoeTest Web-Site. I recommend to print the designs from PETG in variable layer height 0.1…0.3mm.

Also you will need:

• 20pcs 4mm sockets
• 10pcs 4mm bridging connectors with 14.5mm connector spacing
• lots of cables
• DIN 41622 connectors male and female
• 4pcs M4 screws and screw nuts to mount the connectors
• 8pcs M3 x 5…8mm to close the box

You can also galvanize the inner in order to have shielding.

Compensating for part shrinkage

For a perfect fit I recommend to 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.

Happy printing!
