Hand and Foot Card Organizer

pinshape

Human: Summary A card game enthusiast creates a Hand and Foot card organizer for their lazy susan kitchen table. The project requires printing three ABS pieces that fit together with PVC cement, each taking two hours to print. A cold Acetone vapor chamber smooths the surface imperfections and gives it a glossy finish. The completed set is glued into a larger container for 2 hours before being assembled. Print Settings The printer uses Repetier .91 firmware and Simplify3D on a MAC, with Rafts and Supports set to No. The Resolution is set to .3mm, and the Infill is rectilinear at 45 degrees. Post-Printing requires an Acetone Vapor Bath for a Glossy smooth finish. Design Process The design starts with a card holder by bdub_24 on Thingverse, which the enthusiast modifies with playing card insignias on each of four surfaces. Three trays are designed to hold the card holders, breaking the overall size into three ABS pieces glued together with PVC cement. Each piece takes two hours to print and is treated in an Acetone vapor chamber for a glossy finish. Printing Techniques The printer uses an ABS puck to spread a thin film of ABS onto the bed before printing, making it easier to adhere to the heated bed. After every third print, the bed is cleaned with a razor blade and Acetone to maintain a clean surface. The completed print can be removed while the bed is still hot. Software Used The enthusiast uses Simplify3D on a MAC, with Slic3R repairing open faces in STL files that Simplify3D could not fix. Increasing the number of external perimeters from 2 to 5 in Simplify3D renders a better print.
