RMU-Mk3: Design Challenges - Pass Through Fittings

One of the challenges we faced in designing the RMU-Mk3 was the variation in pass through fittings. The fittings can be 1/8 BSP or 1/8 BSPT and there is a marked difference between them. Printing threads for such fine detailed fittings was not an option so we had to come up with something that would allow fitting of different sizes. 

If the holes were too loose, the threads would strip out and if they were too tight they would crack the PETG material. Alan came up with a clever design to work around this problem without the need for inserts.

BF001: Completed printed buffer

We offer to produce and supply the complete RMU-Mk3. The total print time is nearly three days which some people may find onerous. The complete kit comes supplied with all the fittings pre-assembled so all you have to do is attach the top, base and the brackets and Teflon tubes.


You will receive all the component parts of the RMU-Mk3 plus a bill of materials, links to assembly instructions, tips and tricks and any other resources we think you might find useful.
