Golf Disc "Cobra"

thingiverse

*Look at the photographs provided for more clarity on the instructions. ** I printed both the PLA and the TPE at 212ºC with the bed heated to 53ºC I attempted to make a golf disc using "3D Solutech Flexible" filament (TPE), as you can see in the photographs the results were terrible. The supports made a mess of the surface and it did not print the outer ring well. I had the idea to try it by using a support made of PLA, then print the TPE inside of that, and it worked very well. The PLA support ring is the support so do not use supports on neither file when slicing. The TPE file make sure to use 100% infill. The original Innova disc says they will weigh between 150-180g, according to Cura this disc weighs 181g using 100% infill. A couple measures need to be taken prior to printing the TPE file; 1. DO NOT print any purge lines, the fan housing or nozzle could hit the PLA support ring. (Depending on the size of your print bed this may not be an issue, the disc has a diameter of 217mm). 2. Depending on your printer and how it normally begins the starting G-Code, you need to make certain that the nozzle is immediately raised at least 10mm and then move to the approximate center of the bed before lowering and printing the TPE inside of the PLA support ring. Otherwise the nozzle will smash into the PLA ring and cause problems/damage. Specifications: Mid Range Diameter = 217mm Rim Length = 12mm Height = 16.3mm Fillet = 30mm Weight = 181g (According to Cura) Tested it today, flies perfectly. Same action as the original, even the ugly first attempt of just TPE without the PLA support flew well. I'd definitely use the PLA support ring for best results, but if you want to test your luck with just the TPE I can say my lousy result did just as well as the better version and the original.
