EYE GLASSES - MODEL B3 - FDM & SLS

cults3d

**THIS FRAME IS NOT PRINTABLE WITH RESIN PRINTERS (SLA/DLP/LCD)** This is the model B3 with 152mm width. You will probably need to scale it for matching it to you. Its not a problem since you don't make it smaller than 138mm width, or the hinges will not work. You can scale it in X, Y and Z independently, but it could be a problem for mounting the lenses if the scaling of X, Y and Z are exaggerated. This model is very traditional compared to the others. I printed with 145mm wide (2 colors), so it is less oversized and with 152mm(1 color). This download has 2 almost identical models. The only difference is a bulge on the front, so that you can print in one color and paint with a different color. Then you sand the front and it will appear the ring on the printed plastic color, as you can see on the picture. But if you want in one color only, then I would print without the bulge, because it is then more simple and traditional. Its an all-in-one printed frame. It means you don't need to assemble the parts of the frame. After printing and removing the support you can just sand/paint and install the lenses. For this you just bring it to an optician (eye shop) and they will make the lenses with the correct diopter that you need. If you want it as sunglasses, then it is also possible. In Germany it costs as few as 39 Euros or 69 Euros as sunglasses on the internet. Additionally you can download all other "B" models and they have exactly the same lenses shape and size. It means that you can print all them and exchange by yourself the lenses later according to the design you like most at the time. Just be aware to use always the same scale factor! For exchanging the lenses you only have to press them from the backside to the front-side and they will detach from the frame. In order to assemble it, then from the front-side to the backside and you mount them. Be aware that in this procedure the frame can brake after repeating it several times. But as I tested by myself, it broke down only with bad quality printings (porous). If you heat the frame with warm water before, this is easier, but not necessary.
