Tektronix 560 Series Holder Clip by dwholland

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

A set of simple clips that when used with 50pt chipboard makes for a reasonable "holder/protector" for the Tektronix 560 series plugins.
I used this 11x17 chipboard:

The files are in inches, and at least PrusaSlicer asks to convert when importing. (Say yes to the prompt.) You will also likely need to rotate the parts to lay on the bed appropriately, as they do not lay on the bed correctly as designed.
I cut the chipboard into 3 5/8" by 13" strips for the top/bottom, and 5 5/8" by 13 strips for the sides. The rear is approximately 5 7/8" by 4".
It may be prudent to look for something advertised as acid free, but this isn't air tight either. The main thing is for the board to be 0.05" in thickness.
Print time is reasonable at roughly 2/2.5 hours for a set of 8 clips, and one back panel.
Fusion 360 source design file attached as well.
