3/8" Marble for the 3D Marble Maze

prusaprinters

<p>I printed a 3D Marble Maze, and needed a marble for it, so I made one.</p> <p>I've included two versions - one that is just a marble, the other designed to print without supports. The no support version is cut in 1/2 with the flat sides down, and a small pin to help align the two halves.</p> <p>I've also included the OpenSCAD file I used to generate both models.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer:</strong></p> <p>Original Prusa i3 MK2</p> <p class="detail-setting rafts"><strong>Rafts: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Supports:</strong></p> <p>Doesn't Matter</p> <p class="detail-setting resolution"><strong>Resolution: </strong> <div><p>.1mm</p></div> <p><strong>Infill:</strong></p> <p>90%</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>I left supports at 'Doesn't Matter', because neither 'Yes' nor 'No' is correct either - but it does matter. The full sphere will need supports, the cut-in-half version does not.</p> I recommend a high infill, just to give it weight. <p>I did mine using the variable layer height function in Slic3r Prusa Edition - using 0.3mm layers for the pin and lower parts of the cut-in-half marble, and slowly reducing to 0.07 layers as it reaches the upper parts of the marble to give it a nice smooth finish all around.</p> </div></p></p> Category: Puzzles
