DIY Milling Machine T Slot Covers

- I finally took the time to design and 3d print some t-slot covers for my milling machine. The programming thing is a head banger and using a 10 year old 3D printer didn't help much either. But the result are good.

Very nice Giles!
Thank you my good sir
Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.
Thanks Harold
Octane Workholding makes high temperature silicone t-slot covers that are really nice. They can be pushed in as far as needed to allow more coolant to flow to the coolant return area.
I have a company called Roger Tools Canada and I also provide those. They work great. Thanks for your comment. Gilles
Great work Gilles
Thanks Bill
Good idea!
I did the same, but the petg don't like hot chips. Planning to steal the baking sheet idea from Clough42 when I get some time. That should also protect them from accidental dings.
Had to look but I found his video. Cool idea. Thanks for the tip
So, you made coolant catchers :)
I didn’t think anyone would notice. But your keen sense of observation has unraveled my secret. Lol
Nice job. I made mine out of TPU, it's flexible and I can just cut them to length with a razor knife.
That's the material I would have liked Mick, but my old 3d printer can't do that. Looks like I need a new 3d printer lol. For now though, it will be better than without covers. Gilles
@@LetsRogerThat If you want to send me the stl file I'll print some in TPU for you. I only have blue and orange though.
@@MicksWorkshop thanks Mick. I’ll try these out and see what happens. But I’m certainly curious about TPU. How’s it been for you?
@@LetsRogerThat It works great. It's flexible and very resistant to solvents and heat.
@@MicksWorkshop I just pressed the order button on a Ender 3 S1 Pro. That’ll be a Huge upgrade from my 10-15 yrs old Solidoodle 3. I’ll add TPU to the grocery list 😊.
Would you be willing to share your STL file so others can print one at home? Thanks!
