Slotted band saw insert plate

This part is a replacement for a broken slotted band saw insert plate in an old bandsaw. Unfortunately, no spare parts were available, so we made our own. It is based on a simple hand sketch from my uncle and then drawn in CAD with Fusion 360. 

The part is printed in PETG with 0.6 mm nozzle and 0.3 mm layer height. Note the print orientation (angle of around 45 deg) in order to have sufficiently strong snap hooks. 

More details:

• Spare part for De Walt BS 1310 band saw
• Spare part number: 2792

Update 16.06.2024:
