Clapper Slate (dual material)

thingiverse

This remix combines RyanResolution's Clapper Slate with two different filaments for printers that can handle multiple materials. It prints as one piece and requires no assembly. Color changes occur 1 layer (0.2 mm) above the previous top surface to prevent black streaks from forming on the white surface when printing with a nozzle of black color. Next to splitting it into two materials, I also tweaked the model: * Narrower gap for the clapper increases the surface area where the two parts touch, making it somewhat louder. * Removed the tiny overhanging part * Made top ‘clapper’ part less thick * Bigger font reduces risk of incompletely printed letters * Made the hinge a bit more sturdy and slightly tighter (tolerance is now 0.3 mm). This is only the smaller one, I didn't do the XL because it's too large for my printer. A single-material STL is also available for printing this tweaked model in a single material or relying on filament swapping at certain layer heights. No supports are required to print this design. To break the hinge loose, shove a sheet of cut-up blister packaging between the gaps.
