The feet on my Eibos Cyclopes Filament Drier are extremely fragile and when I bumped into my drier the foot broke clean off along with breaking the bottom panel! I created a model that slips over the broken screw peg and gives it some more vertical support along with some more horizontal support for the foot to actually rest on.
Features:
- Thicker walls for more vertical support allowing the leg to absorb more horizontal pressure.
- Snug fit around the existing foot support post.
- Large horizontal foot platform for both foot and back panel support.
Important Notes:
- You will most likely need larger/longer screws to resecure the leg back in place. I used 1 ¼" drywall screws which worked perfectly into the existing fragile plastic. The factory screws were not only not long enough after my legs broke but they were stripped!
Installation Instructions:
- Open the back panel by unscrewing any remaining feet.
- Press the repair piece over the existing foot screw column.
- Highly recommend installing this repair for all other feet even if they are fine because why not
- Reinstall the back panel.
- Reinstall the foot with a larger/longer screw
- Again I used a 1 ¼" drywall screw and it worked great!
My Print Config:
Prusa MK3S+ 40mm Nozzle, PETG, 0.20mm layer height. No supports, nothing fancy.
