Clamshell Catch Rubber

Attachment 24438

A couple questions about the Rubber Spacers used under the Front and Rear Clamshell Catches:

1) Does anyone have a .stp file that can be used to print a set of these for quick mock-up purposes?

2) What type of Rubber is typically used for these spacers?

3) Would a rubber that is rated at 70 Shore A be appropriate?

Thanks, Jeff

Calling @prototipo to the chat?.

I printed some in 95A TPU for Chris some while ago. I did them in a variety of infill densities and walls. Hopefully Chris can comment on how he found them.

IIRC, Chris supplied 2D CAD data and I converted to 3D for printing??but I might have imagined that part!!

Back in the day I remember carving these from a block of rubber with a saw and then trimming with a Stanley knife.

Yes that's right Chris.
I revised the shape of the front versions, and Keith Sharp produced 3D files and printed replacements. I'll ask Keith if it's ok to share those.

Mine are shaped hard plastic blocks that I have never been totally happy with. If new ones are being made, can I express an interest?

I would also be interested in buying them... (both front and rear...)
