Steven Hurd Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 I used hobbyking pla that was on the printer at the time, I used a 50% infill, and it seems strong enough, did you guys use more infill than that? Or did you use a harder material. Thanks steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Gray Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 I’ve got 2 more designs which I need to test and if they work I’ll publish those too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Harris - Moderator Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 I used PLA at 0.15mm layer height and 100% infill as there’s not much material used and they are unmarked after a few uses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Bowers Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 I printed a pair up in PLA and after using them today, wonder how I ever got along without them. Thanks for sharing the .STL @Ron Gray. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RottenRow Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 I met Ron at Old Warden yesterday and bought a pair of his clevis tools. Tried them last night and they work perfectly, the square edges locking the tool in place and holding the clevis open. Excellent, thanks Ron!

Are you publishing all these designs Ron - would like to see them. The wee workpiece retainers for the honeycomb beds work a treat.

Martin Harris - Moderator Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Ron’s design is on the BMFA ITAT site - you need to register for it but are then free to download it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy J Posted May 18, 2023 Author Share Posted May 18, 2023 Thanks Ron, yet to try them but they look good. Could have done with them yesterday as I was continuing to play around with my Playboy Senior which performed a vertical dive into the ground a couple of months ago. Yet to find the cause but did note that on loss of signal a small amount of down trim was present so have rectified that along with replacing the Rx.

Ron Gray Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Glad you (eventually) got them Andy, those who have had them have reported back that they work well, I hope you find the same but if not please report back so that I can amend their design!

Ron Gray Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Well since I designed and made these things I have sold approximately 50, who would have thought? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do work well and wished I had some at Buckminster yesterday**, so need to print another pair for my field toolkit. **The old ways are not always the best ways 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Bertram Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Thanks Ron, they arrived safely yesterday and tried them out in the evening just before flying. Worked really well, much quicker to use and safer too than the trusty screwdriver. I will distribute the other 9 pairs amongst clubmates. So cheap at a £1 a pair. Can't wait to see what you come up with next! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
