About this model
This is a ground-up redesign of "thing" 1428253 using Fusion 360. I used a slight teardrop shape at the top (when printing) of the horizontal holes to avoid sagging on the bridging at the top of the holes. I also used 1mm fillets at all of the corners, so the printer would not have to slowdown or overrun tight corners. These changes allowed the tolerance to be a lot tighter than the original design. The holes are 8.18mm (originally 8.6), although I did have to use some light bearing oil to slide the rods in. Linear bearing holes are slightly tighter too (15.08 vs. 15.2).
