3D Prints
The other day, the 3D model I created back in 2016 finally broke.
So, as such I created an updated model:
For this I am using the same service from my 3D Printing updates article. So far they have been quite reliable.
This model took only two attempts to get to the working version. The first attempt was soooo stupid. I created the model thinking in "centimeters", but uploaded the model using "milimeters" as the unit. Obviously, the results were tiny.
The new model, did not use any support material. I achieve this by splitting the model into two sections which later are glued together. The top section and the bottom section.
This also allows the two sections to be printed with different fill densities, which can reduce the cost of the printing.
After I did the print, I tweaked the model, so that the bottom is 1mm smaller than the top. Also the top uses less material. I did not try printing the tweaked model, but I think it would have a nicer effect than the original.
The models can be found here:
- Printed version in cm (scale by 10x when printing)
- Tweaked model (scale in mim now)
