C-Beam "Slide Plate"

Description

This is a "remix" of the Open Builds C-Beam XL Plate that uses slides instead of wheels.

Slides freely with almost no friction even when dry. Adding oil makes it glide.

Printed in PLA for stiffness (4 walls, 25% infill, 5 top/bottom layers). You may need to fiddle with slicer settings to get just the right fit, if you're using Cura I recommend trying the "Experimental > Slicing Tolerance" setting (I used "Exclusive")


Story

I was having trouble with how finicky it was to set up the V Wheels on C-Beam and get just the right tension and even after was still having trouble with the plates getting skewed under load. Then I saw someone using a sliding piece inside V Slot and thought I'd give it a try. Ended up working way better for me, without any fiddling to adjust it, and virtually no more skewing. Sturdy enough to cut wood.

Canon EOS-M Lens Cap

This is a lens cap that will fit canon EOS-M / EF-M lenses.

I searched everywhere and the only model of this I could find had floating geometry so instead I made my own!

The fit is really snug and holds its place on the lens, you may need to fiddle with your slicer settings to get just the right fit. If you're using Cura an easy trick is to change the "Slicing Tolerance" setting under "Experimental Settings" (you may need to enable this section).

Canon EOS-M Camera Cover

This is a remix of the same camera cap by gmcbay, I just added some ridges along the outside for something to grip.
