Comment on Paper Storage / Folder Designs?
poejreed@lemmy.world 9 months agoYeah, i was starting to get that feeling as i was thinking about it.
My current idea to get around that is to use cardboard from boxes for the large flat surfaces. Maybe i can make some soft of a frame that snaps together to allow it to bend idk? I’m still thinking

You could. If you need to make struts longer than your print bed, 45 degree angle dovetail joints are easy to print on any FDM machine in any orientation, and if you leave one nozzle width’s of clearance (0.4mm in most cases) they will slide together with an interference fit quite securely. These could also be glued.
Also bear in mind that large flat surfaces printed horizontally are the slowest thing to print, since they inevitably require 2-4 complete layers of 100% fill on their top and bottom surfaces. The more long flat things you can print standing on their edges instead, the better.
