Drum rib holder for Reittec Polisher
Description
I like Reittec's polisher design quite much, but somehow the ribs inside the drum keep falling off. I guess it was simply the shitty glue that I used and a better one might have also solved the issue for longer period of time... but as I always prefer interlocking designs instead of just bonding stuff together (especially different materials as here PLA and glass), I designed a separate holder to keep the ribs just mechanically in place within the drum. You can see it in green in the picture (the ribs are still the original ones from Reittec's design). When the things are printed in PLA, they are still flexible enough to allow you to squeeze both rings into the drum and position them as indicated in the picture. Hope this helps you too, if you encounter the same issue as I did. In case you want to make adaptations, I also uploaded the STP files. By the way: I also made some spring loaded brackets with rolls to keep the drum from jumping out of the gears - you can check out the file here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4879515 and I made a housing for a switch and the power supply of the motor: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4879586
