201SuperHero (101Hero Pylon 3D Printer)

thingiverse

Provided are STL files for the 101Hero. I also share source SLDPRT files, which will eventually be modified to improve them and dubbed "201SuperHero" thanks to Xander Carey's name suggestion. Designed in SOLIDWORKS 2017 and exported as STL using default settings, I'm not aware of what those are. Measured with a 6 inch Mitutoyo Vernier Caliper that isn't digital, accuracy is +/- 1/128 inch. My design names are descriptive, and my method heavily relies on symmetry. Some parts initially seemed symmetrical but weren't, causing delays in completion. I sourced files from GrabCAD users, adding their usernames to filenames. McMasterCarr was another source, though some files required modification because they weren't quite right. The limit switch posed a challenge since nobody had modeled the exact one used on our printer, so I found its datasheet and created it. My goal was accuracy and detail, which I achieved in the process. In fact, I cut myself with a sharp caliper edge during this project, and the heat didn't help. The cut caused me to tear up slightly. I put my heart and soul into creating this thing. SLDPRT Fileshttps://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1SSZ2gktfbKM25WbGZMb3dUZWM STL Fileshttps://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1SSZ2gktfbKb1B1NmhEczNyVGs
