Mercury Capsule for Polecat 5.5" Redstone
prusaprinters

If you don't want the video option, there is a 'basic tower' you can print and fly. The version he flew sat atop the original Polecat capsule (very plane) and the chute was tucked into the main airframe. In the collection of parts above you'll find...

Solidoodle Workbench upgrade and replacement parts
thingiverse

The maximum usable print area is now X=360, Y=320, Z=300. However, the practical print area may be smaller. I have redesigned the center carriage with only one extruder to gain extra print area. Any J head, E3D V6 or similar extruder will fit and...

Lundy LIDAR Satellite Model (+ Tutorial)
prusaprinters

Lundy is a small island off the coast of Devon: https://www.landmarktrust.org.uk/lundyisland/ .The model uses LIDAR Point Cloud Data, which is very detailed and also has x,y and z to scale. I created this model using point cloud data as I was unhappy...

Nintendo Switch Pokéball Cart Holder

... clean up easier. Fixed the button not being perfectly centered in the Z direction. Some other general clean-up of small details. ...Added locates around perimeter of inner black parts and spheres so getting things lined up and glued is easier.

Lithophane Photo Lamp

Here are the settings I used: *Model: Choose "Outer Curve" *Model Settings: Maximum Size (MM): 87 Thickness (MM): 2 Border (MM): 2 Thinnest Layer (MM): 0.8 Vectors Per Pixel: 10 (could set this lower for a smaller STL) Base/Stand Depth: 0 Curve: 90...

Filament Spool SyStem
prusaprinters

The only problem I have had, is when doing a Z calibration and the extruder moves to the top of the frame, the filament will push up into the container and can slip over the edge of a full filament spool. This can be prevented by holding the filament...

Quick Swap System for Anet A8
pinshape

8-2-18: I updated the fan duct today to allow for adjusting for optimal height on the Z axis to support different types of E3D J-heads. Appears some tend to be longer then others. This will allow you to move the duct up and down about 20mm in either...

Omnipanels - Structure
prusaprinters

The A1 and A2 variants are adjustable in size, by scaling the the object on the Z axis in your slicer. The A1 clip is 10mm wide and the A2 is 28mm wide (as wide as you can practically fit on a panel).</p><h3>Panel Inserts</h3><figure...

Modular storage system (0.8 nozzle, 1.2wall, vase mode optimized)
prusaprinters

If to setup less than 4 layers there will be an issue with front wall overhang as the front wall starts exactly at 0.8mm height Z-seam position should be set to "Back" if placing the tray handle to the plate front side. Otherwise I had strange line...

Digital Ruler for CO2 Laser and other Machines

This happens every time the Z-axis shafts stop rotating after two and a half seconds. And do not worry about the memory resource (read / write), although the Arduino claims one hundred thousand cycles, but I implemented this process in such a way...

Sidewinder X1 and Genius Bed Side Cable Chain Relocation
prusaprinters

This should be oriented so that the top opening of the connector is facing the outside of the chain (opposite of the open side of the chain links themselves.) Secure the Chain Frame Mount using M3 x 8mm screws with T nuts to the vertical Z axis...

Remaining filament scales - no-MMU & parametric
prusaprinters

It also helps to let the second color "bake in" a bit, to let it go the filament in the nozzle and remove it to avoid leaving residues when doing the z-height calibration (if your printer does that, like the Prusa does); the color will be well primed...
