EYE GLASSES - MODEL C2 - FDM & SLS

cults3d

**This frame is printable with FDM and SLS/LCD printers. Be sure to use the highest quality printing settings and an extruder of max. 0.3mm (0.2mm is recommended) for FDM.** This is the model C2 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 137mm 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 glasses if the scaling of X, Y and Z are exaggerated. It has a modern design, edgy (irregular heptagon). Some people say it's more feminin, but other say it is more modern than the C1 only. It has an all-in-one printed frame option if you have an FDM printer capable of printing with water soluble support. 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 glasses. In case you can print with one material only, some FDM or DLP, then print the 3 parts separated. After printing you just bring it to an optician (eye shop) and they will make the glasses 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 "C" models and they have exactly the same glass form and size. It means that you can print all them and exchange by yourself the glasses later according to the design you like most at the time. Just be aware to use always the same scale factor! For exchanging the glasses you only have to press the glasses 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 strictly necessary.
