Spring mount for bass drum pedal

I was told you people might like this!
The original part had a really sloppy design and eventually broke so I decided to make a new, better one. Designed in Solid Edge, cold printed cheap china PLA with 0.2 mm layer height, 0.8 density. Works like a charm!

This is a very clever idea. Looks pretty good. How is it holding up so far?

[oskarbjo]

Thanks! Has worked just fine so far. You see the original solution was to have the threads inside the actual part, which was made from a way too porous material, so they eventually broke. Now I can tighten it just as hard as I want and IF I'd break the threads again I could just replace the screw and/or nut

Nice! How much use does it get?

[oskarbjo]

Not too much I'm afraid! I have a bunch of other pedals as well

Are you planning on 3d printing any other musical parts?

[oskarbjo]

Well, I've been thinking about making a guitar capo. Would have to figure out how to make it fit to different guitar models though! If I make one I'll make sure to post it to thingiverse

That would be awesome.
