Base for Park Tool TS-2.3 Truing Stand. Fits A1 Mini print bed.

A modular base for the excellent Park Tool TS-2.3 Truing Stand. I designed this model so it can be printed on a small print bed, since I own a Bambu Lab A1 Mini, which only has a 18x18 cm bed. Even so, the base mounts securely together and can also be moved around without falling off, thanks to the way it attaches to the stand.

The base also has slots for the thru-axle adapters that come with the stand, as well as a couple of Spokeys and some other tools.

Tools and materials required:

• 4x M4 heat-set inserts.
• 4x M4x16 countersunk screws.
• Some way to heat the inserts. Have you seen my latching box for Ruthex soldering iron accessories?

Print settings:

• Filament: PLA, PETG, etc. PETG might hold up better to long-term abuse.
• Nozzle size: 0.4 mm.
• Layer height: 0.2 mm.
• Wall loops: 4. This setting and the top and bottom shells are what give the model most of its strength.
• Top and bottom shells: 5 layers.
• Infill: 10% honeycomb.
• No supports are required, but I recommend a brim if you're printing in a colder environment and don't have an enclosed printer. There is quite a bit of mass to the objects, so shrinkage might pull the corners off the print bed as the filament cools.

Assembly instructions:

• Print all the parts. Remember to print the insert model twice. You'll also want to lay it flat on its wide side, so that it won't need supports.
• Insert the four heat-set inserts into the respective holes.
• Click the components into place.
• Remove the included plastic stoppers from the side of the truing stand. A spudger works great here, but a screwdriver will do in a pinch.
• Place the stand on the base, aligning the outside with the threaded inserts, as shown in the photo gallery.
• Push the inserts into the stand and screw down the four M4 screws. They don't need to be super tight.
• You're done.
