Cable Holder

thingiverse

A project at the Toyo Institute of Art with Miss Nadiroh. This is a simple earphone cable holder that prevents entanglement. Print Settings Printer: DaVinci 1.0 Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.3 mm nozzle/ 0.18 mm layer Infill: 25% Notes: I use the DaVinci 1.0 3D printer by XYZ printing, which has been modified to a RepRap machine, and I'm using Simplify3D to slice models. The nozzle diameter is 0.3mm and Layer pitch is 0.18mm. Head speed is 1600 mm/min Bottom layer is 4, side is 3 and top is 5. No raft, with stick paste (Tombow, Shiwanashi PIT). 360 minutes to print, 20 minutes for shaping and constructing. 10m for ABS. Other parts, 4 pins (ø3*10, SUS) How to use pins? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNg1lNYXcFk It's not easy to make accurate pin-holes on an object using traditional machining, especially if the object is small or has an irregular shape. It requires additional assembling jigs to fix. However, with 3D printing, it's relatively easy. No extra cost is needed except for adding holes in the 3D data. The metal pins are precise enough to make both types of holes lock and loosen easily. They're also much stronger than 3D printing materials, so you can create thin struts or axles. Plus, they're affordable, making it easy to bury them under objects or glue them in place. Of course, you could use screws instead. In the real world, screws are more common. But with screws, you'd need to tap holes, and you couldn't make loose screws or join objects face-to-face because you'd need a driver. Note: You'll need a reamer and drill chuck to adjust the holes.
