Globe and Star Finial - Two Versions

prusaprinters

<p>What is a finial?</p><p><i>Finial : A sculptured ornament, often in the shape of a leaf or flower, at the top of a gable, pinnacle, or similar structure.</i></p><p>Note: This will be one of several finial designs I am making.</p><p>This finial is designed to be mounted on the end of a ¼"-20 thread (or M6-1), and to fit over a nut on that thread (picture a bolt projecting upward, held on by a nut - the finial screws onto the bolt end ). The finial has an internal cylindrical opening which needs to be tapped to fit the thread you are using.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h4>Print Instructions</h4><p>Since I will be using this outdoors, I printed in PETG. Use the gcode or 3mf files provided to print in PETG. Otherwise :</p><ul><li>perimeters = 4</li><li>5% rectilinear infill</li><li>supports required for Version 1</li><li>no supports required for Version 2 (not tested)</li></ul><p>Note : I generated 3mf and gcode files for Version 2, but did not actually print this version. However, I believe it should print well without supports.</p><h4>CAD</h4><p>The OnShape 3D CAD files for this are here :</p><p><a href="https://cad.onshape.com/documents/040af028d9c3c0014452f43d/w/d16aea757942dc7494abfd69/e/5d88633236bbf16bc91bc07c">https://cad.onshape.com/documents/040af028d9c3c0014452f43d/w/d16aea757942dc7494abfd69/e/5d88633236bbf16bc91bc07c</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p>
