The prompt
Design a simple 3D-printable manual tube transfer tool for transferring cryogenic tubes from a 14×14 source rack to a 12×8 SBS destination rack. The tool consists of two parallel rectangular plates: 1. **Capture plate:** 114 × 78 × 3 mm, with 117 vertical posts arranged in a 13×9 grid, spaced 9 mm apart. Each post has a Ø4.05 mm gripping section (6 mm long) and a tapered lower tip (8 mm long, Ø1.2 mm at the tip). 2. **Release plate:** 114 × 78 × 3 mm, with 96 vertical steel pins (Ø5 mm) arranged in a 12×8 grid, spaced 9 mm apart. Add two alignment guides to ensure smooth vertical movement between the plates. The capture posts must surround and grip each tube cap, allowing simultaneous transfer and controlled release into the destination rack. Keep the design mechanically simple, compact, and suitable for FDM 3D printing. Create an editable 3D assembly with separate components and an exploded view. Use the dimensions as preliminary values. Do not invent additional critical dimensions.
