Hi,

very hard to find these sliders. Here is zip file for 3d printing, not stunning look, but quite good attempt.

/forum/beogram/bampo-3d-prints

I wasn't entirely happy with the 3d Print, so I have modeled my own 4 part replacement making use of some aluminium extrusion to make it look a bit more "factory". Though it deviates a little from the original design, it should be significantly stronger, making use of all the support points available.

Here's the progress on the model...

...I've done a number of test prints and refinements already. I'm getting very close!

Hi,

your project is stunning. Slider looks different, but I can feel industrial taste there. Let us know your results, mamy people are looking for them.

Hi,

I am responsable for the 3D file, an I can assure it's a perfect fit because it is working on my Beolit 707 since then without any problem.
The quite ugly look is only because of the poor 3D printing quality for whatever reason not worth to mention here.

But if printing quality is good, just add a drop of white paint in the groove and sure you get the best original looking quality/price wise replacement part you can get. And if you're a little bit maniac, just print two and replace them both

Cheers! 

Matador43, I meant no disrespect to your hard work, I can see you've put a lot of time getting your model as authentic as possible.

For me, I just don't want anything that looks like a 3d print (they always do) hence why I'm using some aluminium u-section to cap it all. Sadly this means it loses done authenticity as a trade-off.

• Respect to both of you for your work.
• I tried to print matador43 model, but it always looked like a toy, shiny, layers visible, ..., I did not get better results after sanding and black paint (hlave 3 Beolits 707)

• Respect to both of you and for your work, again.

Yes, same result I had. Shininess is not too much a problem for me as the orignal knob is shinny too even if not in the same way.
But the visibles layers are visible too from close look. In that print it was not too much an issue but I also give to print a Beo4 remote wall holder and in that case it delaminated and couldn't hold the remote safely.

I dont understand well 3D printing but I believe it is giver to the printer (device) quality and printer (operator) talent which in my cas was a little bit lazy.
I've seen enough 3D printed solid objects to think that it could be done nicely.
