Attachment Mechanism - Work In Progress

pinshape

I'm working on a new project and I could use your feedback! This is a simplified 1 hour print of an attachment mechanism that's crucial to the function of a toy I'm developing. The idea is a starting point for my 3D model, so I can develop the rest while figuring out the right tolerances for these pieces. From my experience, clips and sliding parts can produce very different results when people print my designs. If you have time to print this doodad, I'd appreciate feedback to get more consistent print results from various printers. What I'm looking for in this mechanism: Does the ring turn freely and effortlessly, like it does in the video, without needing to grip too hard? Does the ring fit tightly enough on the base to stay fairly secure? Does the insert fit into the ring relatively easily? Does it stay secure when the ring is locked? A little play isn't really a problem. If people are actually interested in helping, I might save out different part gap sizes for you to try, and create new versions based on feedback. https://youtu.be/8KLX8rbO4FU Print Settings: Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Doesn't Matter Notes: Print the base lengthwise on the flat surface. Print the ring with the vertical grooves open side facing up. Print the insert with the flared out flat surface facing down on the build plate.
