So this is for a more popular team which I’ve been told isn’t doing so well this year. And when I said “what’s new”, I was told " you know where you can go".
For those who asked last time this is all printed in parts and assembled together in one print like so
Files are again available on Printables and Thingiverse though this model is bigger. I shrank it down in the x and y in my slicer by 50% for these prints
Just curious, when making this how much tolerance did you account for? I want to make some for baseball teams, but wasn’t sure how much to add.
You can test this with a simple set of pins and a hollown tub to fit. In anything that lets you define parameters, just set the pins to something like [diameter] - .01x[1, 2,3,4, etc]
The other tip here is to make the parts slightly trapezoidal in cross section, so they start easy and only really pressfit tightly the last bit,
Thats a very fair point. I’ve done tolerance tests with mine and can get away with 0 with some encouragement and .05 just fine. Thanks!
On my ender3 it was somewhere between ±0.05mm per wall. But with my Prusa MK4 I didn’t add any.
I would say to do a test print first and see how well it fits. For me smaller parts are quite snug but fit well enough while larger prints require some glue to prevent them from coming undone.
.05 on my ender 3 s1 sounds perfect based on the tolerance tests I’ve run. Thanks!
