Filament Pass-Through (Parametric) using Old Wiper Blades as a Seal by CodeCreations

Last crawled date: 4 years, 1 month ago
a.k.a. Windshield Wiper Seal (Parametric)
This thing holds pieces of used windshield wiper blade rubber together in order to cover a gap in a channel while still permitting something to go through it. This is useful if you have a channel at the top of a ventilated case through which you pass filament.
It's fully parametric (18 parameters), very well commented, and each to configure. You can define the wiper blade properties including overlap, object properties including size and number of mounting holes, and screw and bracket properties.
The default values (and STL) are suitable for a filament guide and pass-through for a Printrbot LC enclosure, with a channel width of about 5.25 inches (134mm), and fastened with six M3 screws. The default support material angle is 45 degrees, and includes a 0.4mm solid layer inside the holes (to be drilled out) for better hole printing.
I use this as part of my parametric printer enclosure, which is available here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:39787
