Let's see your 3D printed parts/models/ideas

[dec11ad]

This turned out to be a much more involved/difficult than I had originally thought it would be. There were several iterations and multiple test prints of the various aspects of the design before the final print.

Final (most recent) CAD layout:


Final (most recent) solid model:


Slicer run:


It ended up OK. Could be improved even more but it's good enough to use now:

interesting, i like it

Here is a small project from today. A single shot loader for my Armada. I've been testing the .22 JSB Beast pellets and they are too long for the magazine. I got tired of loading with tweezers:

Very nice design.

 Im seriously considering a 3d gate or child gate. Ive been 3d printing from day 1 when they became available commercialy and own several printers now. havt to figure out how we can save STL. files on here to share.

Have to figure out how we can save STL files on here to share.

That would be awesome!

couldn't the stl file be zipped up in a .zip, or .7z, or even .rar?

When I DL a file from thingiverse its a .zip file. If I were more apt I could at least design a SST for at least a DAR .25. I have access to a new DAR .25...

This is a test.  I have attached a 3D STL File for a Gauntlet Breech Brace.  This attaches to the breech and the barrel like the way the new Gauntlets are now coming.  It has really helped my 1st Gen Gauntlet.  The file is attached as a .zip file.

[scion19801]

i can see the file and a folder inside the zip for mac. don't have software installed for .stl file and recognized as a certificate trust list on my end.


edit:
 I did get it to open in google sketch up after adding in a plugin. it does work.

Why zip the file when it's fairly small? Just link to the STL file directly, and let the user download it.

The premise is to upload it to the forum not a 3rd party like thingiverse, more particularly files we design our selves. If its on TV I will just link it but if I desighn it and want to share only here I would like that as a option.

[Rat Sniper (AKA: PaulT58)]

That works too!  LOL!  But, if someone doesn't have it hosted on line somewhere, then a zip file can be uploaded as an attachment where just the .STL file can't.

OK - I was not aware of the limitation on file types. zip it is.

A child gate for the NC stuff (3D print and CNC) that covers both machines and projects would be great. Maybe a sticky for collecting model info/files people want to share.

[dan_house]

I’d bet there’s an “Approved” file list somewhere in the forum software that could be modified to include .stl files

thst might be the easiest way....

The Downside to 3d stuff is the seemingly infinite number of selections the slicer -Cura 3.6 in my case- gives you. I printed these “cubes”  with tje infill patterns i use the most.

really helps visualize the who-what-where of using those patterns in yer models

 

[WhatUPSbox?]

Actually, the .zip approach that Thingiverse uses  that includes an image and brief description/slicer settings works well.

Downside? I consider it an upside.

I use Cura 15.04.6 (the simple version). So my infills are simple grids. I usually use either a 20% grid or solid infill.

I have the more sophisticated version of Cura, but it's slower and the simple one does most everything I need.

[Rob M]

 I too use 15 04 06.. thats too funny ,and yes its very efficient .

[Insanity]

I am using cura 4.5.0 and a lot of the features I don't use but have been slowly getting into some of the more fine tuning just to see what happens. I still have to flash my printer so I can make fine adjustments on it also and add in some features you get with the newer ones.
