<![CDATA[SoliForum - 3D Printing Community — Broken 10mm rod clamp]]> https://www.soliforum.com/topic/18278/broken-10mm-rod-clamp/ Fri, 22 Nov 2019 04:52:55 +0000 PunBB <![CDATA[Re: Broken 10mm rod clamp]]> https://www.soliforum.com/post/151914/#p151914 The Misumi replacement collars worked great.  The originals were tapped for 4mm screws, whereas the replacements are tapped for 5mm.  I found some 5mm button-head screws at the local Ace Hardware, so not a big deal.

The original broken collar appeared to be made of aluminum, or possibly even babbit; the Misumi ones are actual steel, and are quite a bit heavier.

Now my project of installing the new printed carriage can proceed!

Those would work great on my SD4...mine still has the hose clamps.  My workbench needs those three tapped holes.

It looks and measures right.  I've ordered a couple of extras.  We'll see how they are when they arrive.

The screw part can be reused on the new one. Have them make it from steel versus cast iron. The workbenches where somewhat limited in their numbers so parts are hard to come by.

You could also just have one printed. It does not need to be all that strong. It appears this one was over tightened in the first place.
