all,</div><div><br></div><div>After my plea for a source for an STL file
for board eject levers for the Sparcserver 1000/E, list member Dan Moisa
stepped up and modeled an original ejector, and I can report it works
great!</div><div><br></div><div>He is willing to share, and so you can get
the file from his GitHub. Contact me for the
link.</div><div><br></div><div>I printed the levers on my Prusa with PLA
at .15 layer height and 30% infill, and they seem plenty
strong.</div><div><br></div><div>As far as the pins, I ordered some 2.5mm
by 6mm compression pins online which seem to be a direct replacement for
the original part. Contact me for the link.</div><div><br></div><div>I did
find that the fit was a little too tight for the hole in the lever. Dan
offered to widen it out a bit, but instead I used a 7/64 drill bit to chase
out the hole and then the pins fit in snugly without excessive pressure. A
2.5mm bit (if you have metric sizes) should do the job as
well.</div><div><br></div><div>These pins took a while to arrive from
overseas; I'm guessing just about anything that's 2.5mm in diameter
will work, as long as they don't hang down past the bottom of the board
as it's inserted. There more room on the
top.</div><div><br></div><div>I'm sure there may be better material
than PLA to use to print these, but that's what I had handy, and as I
said it seems to be strong enough. Will it last for another 30 years?
Probably not, but I don't plan to be pulling the boards in and out of
my SS1000 that much, and it looks way better than the janky zip-tie pulls I
had made before.</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you _very_ much to Dan for
doing the work to model the lever, making an adjustment to better fit the
board width, and especially for being willing to share the STL freely to
the community! I plan to put the STL up on Thingiverse/Printables as well
and try to get the news out to the community at
large.</div><div><br></div><div>If you want to see pictures, message me
off-list and I can send some to
you.</div><div><br></div><div>Steve</div><div><br></div><div>_______________________________________________</div><div>rescue
