Hi, this is such an awesome design. But, after printing I find the parts are very tight. This particular part broke apart in my hand when I tried to adjust the gripper arms. I'm sure you have answered this before, but any tips on getting them to fit together better? Thanks
Hey, we're glad you like the design! We had to rely on fairly tight tolerances for the Gripper to fit everything into one tile. We've been designing a couple of alternative versions that have more forgiving tolerances, which are now available in the Optional Parts zip folder (the downloadable files have been updated).
The problems everyone is having are not being addressed. This is the first time I've subscribed to Thangs, and because of you it will be my last. The tolerances are too tight and you have done nothing to fix it. Just taking peoples money.
I have had some trouble with this print, but after some experimenting i have found the key to be: printing on a raft high infill working the mechanism back and forth a few times with some silicone lube before installing it on the rails
Definitely to tight, to move the gripper. Printed in petg-cf and after the first slide, the slider just broke off
It seems like we are all having the same issues with not being able to loosen the gears without breaking the tabs. Is this being looked into or are there any solutions?
do not bother having loose gears. even if you do not have tolerance issues, the very small connection between the mechanism at the back and the hooks at the front will break very soon. and if you try to glue it back together, everything becomes static - so what about the purpose of a variable hook width, then? in my opionion, nice looking try, but much room for improvement left. let's see what they will come up with.
Hey! We've been working on two alternative options that have more forgiving tolerances. We've updated the downloadable files and you can find these two versions in the Optional Parts zip folder.
Hope this helps!
after 3 times printing and trying to get this hooks moving, i give up. too tight, no chance to loose this thing, so it'll move nicely. imho it's not a good idea to place the moving pieces at the beginning of the rail.
Finally i succeeded to print the Gripper and to loosen the gripper arms....
i managed to do this, right after printing, lets say, waiting for 2 or 3 minutes i startet to loosen very gently the gripper arms. with this way i succeeded to release them without breaking them.
maybe it was also the filament or maybe both.... i used polymaker filament...
so maybe this is for someone helpful who did not yet succeed printing and realising without breaking.
Hey, thanks for the updates. The Gripper does rely on fairly tight tolerances to fit all the parts into a single tile - we're glad to hear you got it solved in the end! if you have any issues in the future, we have added to alternative options which have slightly more forgiving tolerances.
Same here the design is not working, If you want to adjust the grippers it breaks. I printed in PLA (Bambu) PETG (Generic)
Please adjust the design, its a great addition to the series
Hey! We've added a couple of alternative versions that have slightly looser tolerances and are more forgiving to print if the original design isn't quite coming off the printer smoothly. The downloadable files have been updated, so you can find these two versions in the Optional Parts zip folder.
Hope this helps!
Nice design before printing. 4 tries everey Part ist breaking. It´s too tight designt. It´s not working.
Guys! This is not a tolerance issue.The carriage is guided at the front but not properly constrained at the rear. When users adjust it, they apply force above the sliding plane, creating an overturning moment. The carriage tilts, side-loads the rails, friction spikes, and the mechanism binds — then parts break. Pressing the back against a flat surface removes the tilt and it slides smoothly, which confirms it’s a constraint issue, not clearance. Send me step-files. And I'll gladely fix it.
So far this is the only part of the cargo connect system i've had any trouble printing, all other parts print perfectly woth no supports, rafts or brims at all. I did manage to get the release version to print correctly but i had to slow my printer down, lower layer height to 0.1mm and add a raft to just keep everything perfectly in place.
All that being said I have the larger tolerances version sliced and ready to go so ill keep my fingers crossed for that one turning out well.
