Core for Solder Alloy Reel

thingiverse

Guys,\nI'm excited to share my first project of 2016 with you. It's a replica of my original solder alloy reel core design that I couldn't find anywhere online.\nI intentionally included .SCAD files in the upload so that others can modify them as needed.\nIf anyone knows how to export .SCAD from Autodesk Inventor, please share your expertise.\nWith this versatility, the project could be used for tissue rolls, masking tape cores, and more.\nPrinter Settings\nPrinter: Micromake Delta\nRafts: Irrelevant\nSupports: Yes\nResolution: 0.3mm\nInfill: 10%\nNotes: I use the following print settings:\nMaterial: ABS plastic, 1.75mm filament\nSpeed: 30mm/s\nFill density: 10%\nLayer thickness: 0.3mm\nWall thickness: 0.8mm\nTemperature: 238°C\nBed temperature: 108°C\nCaution: For stability reasons, I recommend orienting the print with its long edge facing up.\nPost-Printing\nHere are photos of the original core and my printed replica side by side.\nThis shows what happens when you print a project standing upright, like mine did in this picture.\nNote the result on both ends.\nThe Value is Clear \nThe way I created this project was to use Revolve feature on a 2D sketch that took less than a minute to design.
