Hey all,
**Edit - all source files for this are freely available on Thingverse, search RobBzReef**
I've been itching to get into the 3d printing world as an outlet for enjoying creativity and solving problems. For my first project I choose to make a stand or caddy for my Hanna checkers. This can sit on a table top or be mounted to a wall, your choice!
There are essentially two versions:
v3 which is designed to store the cuvettes with the lids on and it is not compatible with either the alkalinity or the calcium test.
v5 which is designed to store the caps to the cuvettes on the side of the caddy to facilitate drying and it is compatible with the alkalinity and/or the calcium test.
Both versions hold a total of three testers, two cuvettes for each test, powder packets for each (around 20), a space for the destructions, (3) 5 ml syringes, (3) 10 ml syringes and a wall mount plate. Alk and CA compatible configurations also hold the 1 ml syringes and the 100 micro liter syringe for the Ca test.
Versions + configurations:
v3
1) 3 tests (no Alk or CA)
a) All text embossing is editable
v5
1) 3 tests (no Alk or CA)
2) Alk & CA + one other test
2a) this option requires the center powder packet slot to share with the 'other' test but it has been enlarged for this
3) Alk + two other tests
4) Ca + two other tests (not Alk)
All configs have easily editable embossing for you to customize.
Notes: The pads in the corners are to help with first layer adhesion, I simply cut them off with a razor after printing. This is only mandatory if you're going to mount it to a wall of course. In the source file I put the sketch for the text embossing at the assembly level so you don't have to drive into the component level. At the assembly level use the selection sets to simply turn the various configurations on and off. I used Fusion 360 to develop this. It's free to use and powerful.
The source files for this and a few example .stl files have been uploaded to Thingverse. Search for me (RobB'z Reef) and you should see it. 'Hanna' might return something too, I can't recall.
Please feel free to download this, modify it, print it for yourself or a friend, look at it and wish you had a printer or ignore it altogether! I do not condone or grant anyone permission to make this and sell it, especially if you're a business. It's intended for hobbiest use and not for profit making. If I catch you making and selling this, I will come find you.
Other than that I hope at least one person finds this useful. Enjoy!
