Coraline Button Key

prusaprinters

<p>This is not really a remix of HLMAX's Coraline Button Key (<a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:33499">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:33499</a>), but I did use it for inspiration. I wanted to be able to print it without needing to glue the halves together. Instead I wanted to have the parts fit together (and then I will glue them). I think the HLMAX version is more accurate, and this was a quick design so I made some compromises in accuracy. it may make for a simpler print though.</p> <p>This should be printable with minimal supports, see the pic.</p> <p>The post of the key will need to be glued into the handle.</p> <p>STEP file is included for easy remixing.</p> <p>Update - printed it but the key broke since I did not make any changes to help make it stronger on my print settings. I re-printed it with a couple changes (below) which make it considerably stronger. I also printed two of the posts - see the pics. Having 2 of the posts printing helps with the finish (gives the PLA time to set as the head moves over to the other part).</p> <p>Another option is to run the post with another tall part or even just a 2 wall cylinder with no infill that is as tall as the part. To help with that for folks that don't want 2 keys, I uploaded a cooling tower that is the same height as the post. I would use Cura's "per model settings" for the cooling tower part to print it selectively with 2 walls and zero infill and no top layers to minimize material waste. I'd place the tower about an inch from the post, it may string a bit but the layers should come out better than without it. See the pic.</p> <p>3 walls<br/> 60% infill (Cubic Subdivision)<br/> speed: 50mm/sec</p> <p>If you find it is too tight to assemble, you can either sand it or scale it in the slicer, but I think the uploaded design should work fine.</p> <p>Current and final version is 7A</p> <p><strong>If you make one, please post a make, and if you have a question or suggestion please post a comment.</strong></p> Category: Costume
