Bitcamp Fire

thingiverse

It's the Bitcamp fire! After much debate and design work, we're thrilled to release a version of the Bitcamp fire on Thingiverse that can be easily printed and assembled. Big thanks go to Nitay Ravin, one of our lab managers at Terrapin Works, for making this possible. Nitay put in a lot of effort into designing the attachment system & his hard work has paid off wonderfully. We've included several files for you to download. Please review the file matrix before printing the Bitcamp fire. We've set up the STL's to be printed in a way that ensures they can be assembled successfully. We printed our Bitcamp fire on a MakerBot Replicator (5th Generation), but it should be printable on any printer with the correct settings. Check out our list of compatible and verified printers below, as well as for settings on other printers. We're working on releasing the assembly file for the Bitcamp fire as well. This will allow people with higher-end printers capable of multiple colors to print the fire as one part. Print Settings Printer Brand: MakerBot Printer: MakerBot Replicator (5th Generation) Rafts: Yes Supports: No Resolution: .20 Infill: 15% Notes: Make sure you don't use supports. You won't be able to assemble the fire. The STL files are oriented to print correctly, so try to avoid reorienting them as it can't be guaranteed they'll be able to be assembled if printed in any other orientation. The Bitcamp fire has been scaled to ensure best print quality. The attachment system becomes unreliable if scaled smaller. The files can all be scaled 50% larger without repercussions, but we can't guarantee printability beyond that. Post-Printing Assembly Instructions To assemble your Bitcamp fire, simply slide a peg into the clip tool you've printed out, and gently but firmly push the peg into one of the slots on a part. Use the picture to figure out which parts go where on the fire (this should be pretty self-explanatory). If need be, we will create a diagram of parts on the fully assembled fire. Compatible/Verified Printers MakerBot Replicator (5th Generation) MakerBot Replicator Z18 File Matrix Bitcamp Fire Individual Parts Colors listed are from MakerBot filament. Feel free to substitute these as you see fit. Part1_final: True White, should be printed laying flat, with socket-side down. Part1_side2_final: True White, should be printed with socket-side down. Can be printed on same bed as Part1. Part2_final: True Yellow, should be printed with the large socket-less face down. Part3_final: Neon Orange, should be printed on it's edge (so it is like a wall). Part4_a_final: True Orange, should be printed on it's edge (like Part3_final). Part4 has been split into two parts, both the single parts and the combined part are available for download. Part4_b_final: True Orange, should be printed on it's edge (like Part3_final). Part4 has been split into two parts, both the single parts and the combined part are available for download. Part4_both_final: True Orange, should be printed on it's edge (like Part3_final). Part4 has been split into two parts, both the single parts and the combined part are available for download. Part5_a_final: True Red, should be printed flat. Part5 has been split into two parts, both the single parts and the combined part are available for download. Part5_b_final: True Red, should be printed flat. Part5 has been split into two parts, both the single parts and the combined part are available for download. Part5_both_final: True Red, should be printed flat. Part5 has been split into two parts, both the single parts and the combined part are available for download. Logs_final: True Brown, should be printed with socket facing up (in their natural orientation) Clip_Tool_final: Any color, this is a small, rounded socket block that can help with fitting the pegs into the sockets. Slide a peg in, then use the clip tool as a handle to press the peg into a part. TW_Attachment_Peg_final: This is the attachment system (peg). Should be printed so that the face touching the ground is the H shape. You need 9 pegs to complete a fire, it's recommended that you print 10 or 11 to ensure you have an extra in case one breaks during assembly. Additional Files bitcamp_fire_layout_rep5thgen.thing: This is a thing file that will correctly orientate all of the parts onto a MakerBot Replicator (5th Generation) build platform. Note that these will ultimately be printed in a single color if you use this file. bitcamp_fire_full: This is the full version of the Bitcamp fire, without separation into individual parts.
