Spent the weekend tweaking, re-measuring, cursing and discarding.
So many drafts. All with problems.
Bad print, bad angle. All lines are straight.
Progressing.Attachment 164604
Might be better time spent researching a time machine and buying a load of these....
Please don't think the work goes unappreciated. Considering that all the used replacements are going to end up breaking anyway, a printable version is much needed.
Keep on with the work, I emailed africaland forum, still waiting for a reply. I'd love to get a file for this item.
I Still don't know why my pics upload sideways, and can't see a button to solve this issue!

I think I've printed one or two of these damn things every day for the past week. Lol.
The blue one pictured is the closest I've got. Rushed out to the car this afternoon and frantically assembled the pieces....hole too small.
I didn't take the size of the sidewall into account when I specified the radius of the tube. [bawl]
Most of the other problems have been:
- Lack of attention to the model in the CAD and tiny gaps being introduced which the printer faithfully recreated. Oh how I laughed when the wedges fell off the arms with the support pillar, or the tube disconnected when I turned it upside down.
- A dodgy set of digital calipers
- Printing with ABS plastic - I'd just got a drum, so was finding my way with settings for that as well. Current model is back on PLA, and the warping I was suffering has gone away.
- Getting my head around Tinkercad. It seemed like the way to go, I mean, they use it in primary schools so how hard could it be??
- Printer settings - So many printer settings!
- Vodka - finalise your design before happy hour.
Anyway, I set out to learn a few things, and that's definitely been accomplished.
In all honesty, I don't know how resilient this will be in PLA, and it's probably still a wee bit tight on the corners (I can't get that curve right).
Sorry for going on, but so close! :)
They look good. I still have had no reply from Africaland. I think they may be defunct. Did you scan the item?
No. I tried a 3d scan app on the phone, but it was as you'd imagine.
Built from the ground up.

Close but no banana. In your image Programme ROTATE it 180* or 90* & Left or Right to get it the way you want it.
BTW, what you are doing seems an impossibility to me but it is also a matter of knowing what you are doing, same as the image rotation. Stick with it & you'll wonder why it looked so hard. Good Luck.
