1 Inch Diameter Dowel Rod

prusaprinters

<p>A lot of spool holders and other designs often call for a 1" dowel rod. I don't keep those readily on hand, but I have a 3D printer! Ain't nobody got time to go to a hardware store. I couldn't easily find a 1" printable rod here on Thingiverse, so here one is.</p> <p>It's 150mm long, but you can resize it to any length or diameter in your slicer. I also included the FreeCAD file, if that's easier.</p> <h3> Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>LulzBot</p> <p><p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Mini</p></div><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p><p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>.38</p> <p><p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>20%</p></div><br/> <strong>Filament:</strong><br/> any PLA, ABS &amp; PETG - <br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong> </p><div><p>Since it's easiest to print this vertically, I chose PETG to ensure good layer adhesion, but it should print just fine with PLA or ABS. I also used a brim around it to make sure it sticks to the bed. If your build surface holds well enough, you may not need it. </p> Printed with 20% Rectilinear infill.</div></p> <h3> How I Designed This</h3> <p>Pretty simple-- I opened up FreeCAD, sketched a circle, and extruded it to 150mm. Can't be easier than that, right?</p> </p></p></p> Category: Parts
