I forgot I need to renew my premium membership here to edit posts so I'm making a new post for the STL on my dosing line holder.

Ive made a screw based one, if you want . Works with glass up to 1/2” (though can easily change). The screw goes below the rim on a rimless tank- assuming small rim.

Thank you I love it! I will use this for my rimless tank!

What diameter tubing are you using? I’ll upload it to thingiverse.

True. I don’t mean it that way. If I wasn’t doing it commercially, I definitely couldn’t justify the cost either. I love my Enders.

I will get one later this year. Wedding first then finish remodel. The prusa and store.

The funny thing is I have a total of $300 in three ender 3 including upgrades. LoL!

I got one for shipping cost for doing a video, one on sale for $163 including shipping and one for free for a customer service issue. Bought some upgraded Bowden tubing, aluminum extruders and extra nozzles.

Lol that’s awesome. I usually spend around $220 per unit- $180 for the printer, $15 on a nice glass bed, $10 for the aluminum extruder, and $5 for stiffer bed springs. I also have three- one has .8 nozzle with Volcano hotend for large personal things (woodworking jigs, fixtures, organizers, etc), and the other two are standard.

Printing has made me lazy with woodworking lol. If it’s something that requires measurements, like installing drawer handles or hairpin legs, I’ll just print a guide rather than measure.

I have just started printing jigs. It's very convenient.

Especially when you order things online- most sites have the hole layout of their items, so it’s very easy to put together a basic 2mm thick guide.

At one point I was trying to market installation guides for apex products with integrated bubble levels. Failed product because the market is too small, and it doesn’t really need to be perfectly level.

Maybe but very cool nonetheless.

Print turned out great. Unfortunately I didn't actually measure my QT rim so it doesn't quite fit (clip is a bit long), nothing gluing a spacer won't fix. Thanks.
