3D Printed Trident Calibration Solution Holder

Poseidon03 · Feb 22, 2022

Anyone ever 3D print a calibration solution holder for their Trident? I've been thinking about designing and printing one, but was wondering if anyone else has a concept that has worked.

No, I found the calibration solution to be wildly inaccurate (problem solved).

I quite like this idea actually. My dog has knocked my calibration fluid over many times with his nose. He just can't help but get involved in everything!

What do you mean? My Trident seems to be very accurate once calibrated.

Looks like I have a reason to break out the 3D printer again. Hardest part is making something printable without supports. I'm a 3D SOLIDWORKS engineer, so it will just take a little R&D. It'll probably be over engineered.

Yessssss! I'd love to see what you come up with!

Been a while. I think I might make it with supports unless I do 2 parts. I have an iteration for both.

I’ll be waiting!

Current concept. Wanted something smooth and simple supports would be under the hook or you can print hook side down and glue the bottom on. Print is estimated about 8 hours on Ender 3 Pro V2. Might print one tonight to check it out

Look really good! I wonder if you could incorporate a tiny grip for the sample line to loop it and clip it onto this to make sure it sits at a nice depth within the calibration bottle whilst testing?

Definitely can add something like that!
