Kinesis Freestyle 2 tenting legs (remix from Freestyle Pro)

This is a remix of JBruce12000's "kinesis freestyle pro keyboard static tenting legs" altered to be used on a Kinesis Freestyle 2.

note: it is a complete 'hack-job' done entirely in Microsoft 3d Builder - no remodeling at all. Just: measure (with calipers), slice / extend / split / merge. 3D Builder also had to do some minor fixes to the original 3d model (STL) to cleanup errors in it. So, there's that too.

These really only needed updating on the 'base' piece to extend them to fit the extra length the Freestyle2 base rails have. A little extra liberty was taken and some material was removed from the design to save filament. It is all good to exactly duplicate a production part, but you can always tweak it in way they didn't at the factory.

The hooks on the base were modeled a bit too big for the Freestyle2, so those got tweaked. The part is fully printable with just small tree supports. These were printed with 10 % infill and 2 walls with a .28 layer height. They don't have to be super strong, they are just there to give the legs a place to attach.

The caps were split off into their own file and if you have retractions well tuned on your printer, you should get little to no stringing.
The 'legs only' file is the original file with the caps removed for ease printing them separately. These were all printed with 3 walls, 10% infill and a 0.2 layer height.

A 'single cap' file was made in case you just need to make one cap to replace one. There is also a 'test' leg that is just a slice off the 'legs only' file. It lets you see how tall it will be when you are done, without having to waste time printing the full legs part, only to find out they are too tall, or not enough. You will also get an idea on how the caps will fit and if you need a little sanding of those. (hint: you will - print a spare cap to play with)

You can go back to original thing ( https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6422122 ) and download the SCAD file and use openScad to tweak it for height adjustments if you want.


When printing on a Ender-3 S1 Pro, you will need to rotate the base rails 45 degrees to get them to fit the build plate comfortably. The 'legs' part will just fit the bed's printable area, as the part is 199.2mm by 154.2 mm (40mm tall). Any printer with that printable area (or better) can print this just fine. If you need too, you can just hack the legs STL file in 3D Builder to split, spread apart farther and merge back together into a single part.

The parts in the pictures were printed with Inland PLA at 228 celsius (my personal choice) with a bed temp of 55c.
