Display Tray for Infill Pattern and Infill Density

thingiverse

I am a hands-on learner, so I wanted sample trays that I could physically hold and look at to decide which infill to use. I saw similar designs already out there but wasn't completely satisfied with them, so I designed my own. 9/8/2016 - I updated the STL files with the correct orientation. Print Settings Printer: Prusa I3 MK2 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.20 Infill: 15% How I Designed This Cube The cube's designed height is 25mm tall, but actual height is 20mm. To do this, first, I chose the infill type and percent I wanted. Then, I input the gcode into ColorPrint (http://prusaprinters.org/colorprint-is-out) and chose to change color at 20.150mm. Finally, I printed the cube and when it got to the color-change part and the cube was 20mm tall, I would just cancel the print and that would leave the infill exposed. I am not sure if this software works for everyone so another way to do this would be to just cancel the print when it gets to 80% and the cubes should be roughly 20mm tall too. Trays The trays' total height is 22mm tall (3mm of which is the lettering). I also used ColorPrint (http://prusaprinters.org/colorprint-is-out) to change the colors of the lettering. I did the color change at 19.150 so the entire lettering were a different color. This is an unnecessary step but I think it looks much better. I designed the lettering to be the same height as the cubes, so everything is flush on top.
