32-bit acorn hardware • Re: RiscPC Parts STLs

I have just published a v2 which has got beefier support on the leg, hopefully that will help the problem.

Thanks, I'll give that a shot.

This is the two models in PrusaSlicer, V1 on the left and V2 on the right, which I think more clearly shows the improvement.
I've had one break along the red line and just left the triangle, so I need to print a few more. I'll let you know how these fare.
I was thinking about improvements to the design, and had considered flipping the model over and adding a bit of extra thickness on the top side of the bar, and maybe a small ridge to help locate it inside the hole in the RISC PC case. The spring seems to exert a lot of force trying to pull the bar "up" (though down on the model) and there's a notch to retain the spring which would weaken it. Countering that on the opposing side seemed to make more sense to me.

Sorry if my critique seemed harsh but I do think it's a lovely design and very convenient for quick repairs. I love how the spring is enclosed to help prevent it from falling out while it's installed into the machine.
