Summary
Use this to hold your sketching pencils, tools or simply collect PLA scraps and trimmings.
I got tired of sweeping PLA bits off the table, and then having to sweep the floor. This slide-out tray catches everything and with a brush (or piece of tissue paper) I can sweep it all neatly into a small bin or envelope for disposal.
All 3D printed parts except for the 3-inch electrical trunk cap and screws.
***** UPDATE 9 Oct 2015: Centre bracket and clip added, for long installations.
Instructions
You will need:
2 x M320 screws (M312mm is minimum recommended)
4 to 6 wood/ metal screws to secure the brackets under your table
** Mine is plastic and steel so I used metal screws
1 length of 3-inch electrical cable trunk (just the cap)
2 x M3 Washers (optional)
Print:
2 brackets (1 left, 1 right)
2 Clips (1 left, 1 right -- 3 types to choose from: CLOSED left/right end or open-ended). Print open-ended for the side where you will sweep the scraps off. Or print both with closed ends if you want to use it as a drawer.
Installation:
- Mark and mount 1 bracket onto table underside.
- Slide in clip and secure with M3 screw (washer optional) - do not tighten fully, this holds the clip in place but allows sliding action.
- Repeat for other side.
- Measure distance between inner-most edge of both clips.
- Cut trunking cap, insert.
** If your strip is short and both clips are closed, you may want to perform step 5 before fastening the M3 screws on the clips (step 2)
For reference, my set up is 89cm wide.
