really fun to have on the desk. my bottle of superglue explode while i was trying to put it together but works great otherwise.
I printed it in Prusament Pla Galaxy Black... it turned out well, but I had to re-press the Top Hinge a few times... every time I wanted to loosen them I broke it. In the end I got the Top Hinge remix from @Farlei and I just had to take the support off and turn it a little bit and they click loose
Really cool and easy to assemble. I used -0.24 horizontal expansion in Cura to make sure everything fits :D
Modified the hinge by turning one of them 180 degrees. Broke the hinge with a plastic wrench I had. the 180 turn made it much easier.
Not sure if tree supports are the best here, but they worked ok.
Fun printable! Tips for printing would have been appreciated!
Such a cool model, really good job designing this.
Joints are sligtly challenging to print, but can be done.
tryTrying to make adjustments to the hinge but it doesnt download in .step format. this prevents me from importing into cad. ??
@RobertHogue_628635 thanks for the response.
Very nice print. I also had problems with the pivots. I solved the issue by reducing the pivot rod from 6.7 mm to 6.65 mm and using a razor saw to open up the two pivots.
