Description

This is an easy and straightforward print to hold up your favourite display piece, photo, painting or the CD/Vinyl cover of your current jam.

All parts are printed separately to avoid using supports, so you must assemble it yourself using a piece of filament (1.75mm) and (optional) approx. 12cm of twine/string.

 

Printing Instructions:

STLs should already be oriented the correct way for Prusaslicer. I arranged the parts on the print bed parallel to the x-axis.….else use the attached gcode for MK3S.

I printed this at 0.3mm resolution with 20% infill, supports are not required.

 

Assembly Instructions:
  • Orientation: Lay the legs flat on a table in the same way they were printed (i.e. last printed layer facing up).  Now is a good time to figure out the orientation of the horizontal piece, it goes in one way.
  • Joining Legs: Push a length of filament through the holes located at the top of each  of the 3 legs, this will be a snug fit then trim the ends (I left 2-3mm protruding on each side for effect)
  • Horizontal Piece: Align the 3mm holes of the horizontal piece and the centre leg to determine the placement of this part.  You can use a tooth pick or filament to line it up.  Then press fit the horizontal part to the left and right legs. Again, take care with the orientation of this piece it only goes in one way.
  • String: The bottoms of the legs are angled to sit flat on the table when easel is in the opened/working position but if you choose to use a heavy display piece, use a 12cm twine through the 3mm holes and knotted at each end for additional support.

 

Enjoy!
