<![CDATA[SoliForum - 3D Printing Community — Peek (hot end) retainer for a jigsaw w/o the wooden plate]]> 2013-06-22T00:47:19Z PunBB https://www.soliforum.com/topic/2907/peek-hot-end-retainer-for-a-jigsaw-wo-the-wooden-plate/ <![CDATA[Peek (hot end) retainer for a jigsaw w/o the wooden plate]]> For those who removed the wooden plate from their solidoodle extruder and found the hot end wobbly at times.

I made a retainer to secure the hot end.


It is on thingiverse.  thing:107171

Update:
The reason I discarded the wooden mount was for convenience - to easily unmount the hot end. With this reatainer I am not wholly happy that I have to remove 3 screws to un-mount the hot end. So I designed a second retainer that is attached to the jigsaw with only one screw - the one you have to remove anyway because it is pinching the hot end to the jigsaw.

I added the new stl to same thingiverse thing, not replaced it, so the old thing is still available.

Attached pics for each for comparison.
