About this 3D model

Part of my testing out printed CNC accessories. Recommended for light machining only -- obviously a plastic steady rest will flex more than a metal one under load. 2014-04-16 - v0.7: So far not print-tested so there may be errors; this version is mainly fixes to issues mentioned in v0.6 changes below. v0.6: assorted cleanups -- start fixing nut sizes, lengthen 10-24 nut trap to allow use of easier to find screw. I printed this version to check it out; it has these issues: - 10-24 mounting nut hole slightly too large (can superglue nut in place, or shim with extra material to get it to grab) - One blade mounting washer's space is made a bit tight by the base - Blade mount nut traps would print better with membrane My test print was done solid, 0.2 layer height in ABS - seems pretty sturdy; there is enough flex that I can get a few mm of movement in any direction by pushing on the top by hand... but should work fine for light work. 2014-04-06 - v0.4; Getting closer :)
