Apple Pencil v1 Case

prusaprinters

<p>This is my first thing post, and I welcome any constructive criticism. This is a case with magnetic closure for an Apple pencil version 1.</p> <p>I took inspiration from <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2135513">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2135513</a>, but found a number of things that didn't work for me. A test print didn't produce a usable model for me; because, the dimensions weren't quite right. Plus being in the US, I was unable to get the magnets Hinkelder linked to.</p> <p>I redesigned the entire case in Tinkercad using the dimensions for magnets I found at <a href="https://www.apexmagnets.com/magnets/1-2-x-3-8-x-1-8-rings-neodymium-magnet">https://www.apexmagnets.com/magnets/1-2-x-3-8-x-1-8-rings-neodymium-magnet</a>, and the Apple Pencils dimensions (found on internets). The magnets are glued into place. I don't use the adapter, so I didn't include that part. I wanted a sphere at the end to protect the tip as well. After a couple of versions, this is my final result.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer:</strong></p> <p>JGAurora A5s</p> <p class="detail-setting rafts"><strong>Rafts: </strong> <div><p>Yes</p></div> <p><strong>Supports:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting resolution"><strong>Resolution: </strong> <div><p>0.15</p></div> <p><strong>Infill:</strong></p> <p>50%</p> <p><strong>Filament:</strong></p> Monoprice PLA <p>blue</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>I printed with the "normal" settings in Cura adjusting temps and flow for my PLA. I think the infill was at 50%, but the design is mostly walls. I did print with a brim to hold it down. There is very little surface area on the print bed. </p> Required parts: <p>2 ring magnets (make sure to face them properly when seating)</p> <h3>Post-Printing</h3> <p>I did not use supports, and it required some clean up in the magnet insets. After cleaning up the insets, I sanded, filled, and painted the body and cap. Once I was happy with the paint job, I mounted the magnets (again, make sure you mount these correctly). I used super glue to hold the magnets in permanently.</p> </div></p></p> Category: Tablet
