100Hex Wall Frames (Filament Saver Remix)

prusaprinters

<p>Update: Included a version with rotated supports. I've also uploaded the OpenSCAD script if you want to customize the frame (<a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4899719">check out this guide if you've never used OpenSCAD</a>)</p><p>I recently discovered the <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2477471">100Hex project</a> by <a href="/tecnoloxia_org">tecnoloxia_org</a> and decided I would challenge myself to add a load of customizable hex designs (<a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/150327-customizable-100hex">I've started uploading them here if you want to check them out</a>).</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/150326/rich_content/a6261460-729d-4474-be95-f96ce7140f94/screenshot-2021-06-01-235015_edited-custom.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%225ae7debc-025e-4ebb-84d9-afdf9617a241%22%2C%22w%22%3A1060%2C%22h%22%3A659%7D"></figure><p><a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/150327-customizable-100hex">Link</a></p><p>I liked the current frame design, but after printing one, I realised that I would end up using a load of filament just printing the frames. I also had trouble withthe snap-fit connector so decided to work on a quick solution.</p><p>Instead of printing an entire frame, just the main parts are included. You can print the hex with a base and change layers on height or just use card/paper to fill the back (which makes it easier to draw on/add color). I've used cheap recycled black card that I picked up on ebay, it's held in by the hex when it's fitted.</p><p>Rather than printing snap-fit connecters or a frame thick enough to fit a screw hole, there is holes for cotton string. You can simply tie the frames together and then use a bit of string to hang it on a nail or screw.</p><p>Thanks to the original creators! There is no way I would of had the idea for this without them.</p><p>According to cura:</p><p>This version:</p><ul><li>11g</li><li>Just over 1.5 hours</li></ul><p>Original:</p><ul><li>31g</li><li>3 Hours, 45 mins</li></ul><p>and for each connector:</p><ul><li>2g</li><li>16 mins</li></ul><p>As per the original, you may find it better to scale this slightly. I find everything fits together perfectly if I print the frame at 100.1% width &amp; length (or the hexes at 99.9%). It will depend on your printer and filament so print a test before you go wild!</p><p>The hexes in the images are:</p><ul><li><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4770410">100 Hex Single Lightbulb (edge)</a> by <a href="/minching">minching</a></li><li><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4048987">100hex portal</a> by <a href="/2CoB9">2CoB9</a></li><li>The torus is from the original <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2477471">100Hex</a>, I believe it was made by <a href="/tecnoloxia_org">tecnoloxia_org</a></li></ul>
