kinematic coupling 3d models

This project has sucked up a lot of my life since my first couple of versions I posted. I went through a lot of failure but learned a lot too. This was my first technical 3D design ever and I definitely probably did much of this in a very inefficient...

Updates: I've printed this object a couple of times now. The first time was on a PrintrBot Simple Metal, where I used supports and a brim, and it took about an hour at the highest resolution. Then, I printed it on a Zortrax, which completed the job...

Liked the idea of scotty's air filter, and since the 120mm profile and room for a battery bank use way too much plastic either way, figured id fix a couple issues i didn't like with it and use it as my main soldering fume extractor. Like it not even...

Update 3/13/17 Added a couple photos of part installed in very thin test print of bracket. Part looks very good. So far, I've only used it as single extruder. Heat break is very effective. Upper part of block stays very cool when printing PLA, even...

There are a couple of challenges with the ball and socket. Although it provides great degrees of freedom, it actually provides too much freedom. With space frames, you typically only want the rods to move within a single plane. The other challenge...

... without compromising the structural integrity of the holder. This might involve tweaking the design or adjusting print settings. However, as it stands, this version is robust enough that it won't tip over even when loaded with a couple of vape pens.

It may take a couple of laps around the bed to get everything close enough, but this gets it level. Then you can use "Babystep Z" on the LCD to move the printhead up or down to give you the proper actual height. This will move everything all...

If you don't have a tap and die set (you can get a cheap one at Harbor Freight for about $10), just be aware that the threads are super-tight in my experience and you may have to turn the screws you use in these holes a couple of time to get a fit...

This one is mostly using Loft and Fillet, plus a couple of Pads. This time, I started off by putting putting values and calculations into a FreeCAD spreadsheet and naming most of those values. Pretty much everything in the sketches is calculated...

I'm sure there are a couple of other features I'm forgetting about, but you'll probably come across them yourselves if you use this design anyway. As said, I intend this to be my final version of this particular mod as I can't see any need for...

I had seen a couple of projects that involved part fans you could turn on and off, and I invested in a serious fan upgrade. While I was waiting for the new fan to make it to Texas from the other side of the world, I looked into fan housings, and...

Instructable: https://www.instructables.com/id/Doorway-Pull-Up-Bar-From-EMT-Conduit/ Disclaimer: I don't know how strong it is, and the weakest point is definitely the set screw coupling the two pieces together. If anyone has recommendations for...

NEMA17 Couplings 5mm to 8mm are also needed from Aliexpress at around $4/pair. You'll need POM nuts. Regular brass TR8x8 nuts will not fit these x-ends, so you can buy a pack of 5 from Aliexpress for around $8. Allows for installing a GT2 Timing...

I've had good luck with this battery for the most part, but have had a couple of times when I needed to fully charge it up to work with the iron. I've run the ts-80 for about 10-15minutes off the Anker QC 3.0 battery, and not had a problem with it...

I also added a couple of slots for zip-ties to hold the BLTouch cable neatly. The BLTouch offset from the nozzle is X = + 40mm and Y= +2 mm. **Hotend_holder** The Hotend_holder was taken from Lite Toolchanger (so as to match the...

It is coupled to a radio lighthouse whose code is "PH = .-. ...." and which carries to 30 nautical miles. It was automated in 1977. It has been listed in the supplementary inventory of M.H. On 30/12/2010. The DRAC recalls in its inventory sheet...

Additionally, I'd like to have a couple of really small LEDs at the eyes, and I'd like to etch a labyrinth motif into the polycarbonate infinity mirrors, which I will illuminate in white (maybe a little blue) for color contrast. The whole thing will...

In the images above, you can see that i had a couple of them placed on the struts as we tried different configurations. I found that i liked it when i scaled the z axis of this file to 800% to make it around 1.5" tall. You may have to mess with...

The badges changed between the first couple seasons (where they seemed to use a darker bronze look for the gold part of the badge) and the later seasons (where they used a brighter bronze that looks almost gold in the right light.) As for the shapes,...

... source for my standard. The biggest problem was to click it together without breaking sth and at the same time to be strong enough. I printed links many times, so in reality it took me a couple of days and different designs to achieve the result

Test the fit on the first one, if you can't install without splitting then either decrease extrusion width slightly, flow slightly, (your printer is incorrectly calibrated) or scale the part a couple %. I printed in clear to show the mild discoloring...

Any other sources are unauthorized and should not be used for commercial or licensing inquiries.I personally do not sell anything, but you can order these from a couple of sellers online. I am not affiliated with these stores and do not make any...

There are also a couple of versions of it. You can make the "original one" as a fishing boat, but you can also make a tugboat version that has a tow hook instead of the fish box behind the cabin. There's also another version of the roof with...

All walls are 3mm thick to make the case sturdy and robust.The case is designed with vents for fan-less cooling, there is currently not space in the case to fit a fan.The case is assembled around the Odroid H2 and fastened together using four 3mm x...

I've printed a couple of the parts and checked that they do print, like the pod. But from there on you are on your own to experiment. My design uses an inner 2mm propeller shaft for the front propeller, and a 2mm inner and 2,5mm outer diameter...

  While doing this retrofit, I managed to break the flat, thin neodymium OEM magnet, so instead I used a couple of other magnets I had on hand. You should be able to use the OEM magnet (careful, it's kind of fragile). It can be attached to the new...

Then using a mini butane torch heat the insert up on all sides for only a couple seconds. Install into the hole keeping it straight and thread the screw out. I usually then flip the part over and lightly press down on a flat surface to make sure it...

If your printer can do magic or if you prefer using your slicer's support, say false here: CouplerSeatingSupport = true; // CouplerSeatingSupport = false; If your slicer is cleverer than I would expect, you may also say false here: side_support =...

You need 1 m LED strip with a width of 8 mm, a few wires, cable clamps, GU10 sockets and a small power supply for the LED strip and a couple of M3x20 screws and matching nuts. If you use a strip with 60 LEDs per meter, I recommend using a power...

Liberator weapon from the classic BBC TV series Blake's 7 Print instructionsA bit of background to this model. For those wondering what this is, in the 70's the BBC produced a sci-fi show called Blake's 7.  In it the crew of rebels/freedom fighters...
