<p>This one is mostly for fun, but also to try out some ideas in 3D CAD as well as printing a multi-part print in multiple colors. There are five parts total for this print.</p> <p>The OnShape 3D CAD files for this are here :</p> <p><a href="https://cad.onshape.com/documents/66c4dd77b613d56d9863a09c/w/b871d4459792e304bf51f918/e/95f6e297d02eba135f73e7ab">https://cad.onshape.com/documents/66c4dd77b613d56d9863a09c/w/b871d4459792e304bf51f918/e/95f6e297d02eba135f73e7ab</a></p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>Print in PLA using the 3mf files provided.</p> <p>You can of course print in any colors you like, but for a realistic look these are the colors I chose:</p> <ul> <li>red : apple top and bottom</li> <li>brown : stem</li> <li>any color : connecting screw</li> <li>red and green : leaf</li> </ul> <p>The leaf can also be printed in all green, but I chose to use two-color printing with filament switching to print the base of the leaf to match the apple top.</p> <p>The leaf requires a lot of support material. The leaf stem is delicate so take care removing the support material so as not to break the leaf stem.</p> <p>I printed the stem (brown) with a brim, which meant I needed to do a bit of trimming with a razor knife to remove the brim completely. It might be possible to print this without a brim but I did not try this.</p>
