Conic Sections

pinshape

A unique design compared to the standard multi-head model. This one features a keyed base that enables assembly of conic section components. There are two main options with this layout: Single Extruder, Small Volume/Multi-Color Printing Each part is printed separately on the bed or in matching color/material sets. I've included AK_ files for effortless import and bed leveling. Single Extruder, Large Volume Single Print All parts are assembled in Simplify 3D or Cura by merging them at the origin after selecting all models. The design allows a 0.15mm gap between components, which translates to a 1-2 layer gap depending on printer settings and capabilities. This should facilitate printing while enabling individual component separation, except for the bottom pieces. Multi-Extruder or Multi-Material Printing Similar to single extruder, single print, but with multiple colors/materials and separation of parts.
