---- in a box! 'costume'

thingiverse

Here's a fun project I've been working on. Dumbing it down made it even more enjoyable, so I removed the motor and now it's more of a hands-on experience. That way, you don't have to go buy one too. It also saves money. Plus, it spins really well without the motor, so I'm happy with how it turned out. Check out this video for an idea of what it looks like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFNyQ6QBHLI These costumes were a hit at our party. They were easily the best costumes there, although we only had six other people dressed up. Tomorrow, I'll upload better pictures after wrapping up the box (hopefully). Here's an "inner clamp no motor" file that includes just the inner piece without the motor mount part. Print what you like. The belt clip is designed to be printed flat, and the long hinge portion should be printed horizontally across your bed, standing upright with support, of course. Everything else is pretty straightforward. I printed the outer bearing race at 0.5% larger in both x and y directions because it was a bit tight otherwise, but you may need to test it depending on your printer. After printing and assembling everything, remove the hinge part from the belt clip and heat it up right in the middle with a heat gun. Then, bend it to fit your needs, depending on how large your package is. Check out this image for an idea of how much I bent mine and feel free to compare sizes. I hope that's all there is to it; let me know if I've missed anything!
