1.5 mL or 2.0 mL Eppendorf tube holder
This is a tube rack that securely holds standard 1.5 mL and 2.0 mL tubes microcentrifuge tubes.
I liked MS3FGX's microcentrifuge tube rack but found that when I pushed down on tubes to close them, it made the whole thing flex down and it didn't fill me with confidence for my expensive PCR reagents.
Being the person I am, I borrowed this idea and over-engineered the crap out of it:
- Now more stable and resistant to flexing!
- The tips of the feet are truncated to eliminate the short layers and melting/warping that accompanied them!
- Little cut-outs at the front of the holder makes flipping the lids easier!
- Tabs on the base so that you can tape or blue-tack the holder to your bench — no more knocking stuff over with your sleeves!
The printing time for my remix is longer than the original (38 min vs 26 min at 75 mm/s), but I feel it's worth it for a more robust and usable object.
