3D printed ABS rail guides to replace rail buttons on the cluster projects.
These rail guides have a much stronger hold on the rail than rail buttons, while still sliding up the rails very smoothly.
Pic 1: Rail guides as printed (2 parts above) and after trimming, sanding and drilling (one part below).
Filament deposition 3D printed parts are strongest in the two horizontal dimensions as printed and slightly weaker in the vertical dimension.
Due to being built up in horizontally printed layers.
