Innovative Infill Pattern / Cable Organizer

thingiverse

Hire me to bring your idea to life: austin@bitdrafted.com This model is more than it appears! Take a closer look and you'll see that it's been expertly cut to deceive the slicer into printing it in vase mode. Before, printing a shape like this would require printing a square with no top and bottom layers, then selecting a hexagonal infill. The problem was that the infill was weak because the extruder skipped certain sides of the infil every other layer for speed. This design lets you print the hexagon pattern with two layer thicknesses all around the part without ever having to retract filament or stop extruding once. To make this happen, each vertical face of the hexagonal pattern is split at the midpoint, except for one face on each row that alternates between the left and right side. This file is intended to be printed in vase mode with a 0.5mm extrusion width, which creates an extremely strong part. Feel free to scale this up or down to suit your needs. The current size works well for storing USB cables, but it should be scaled about 20% to store thicker cables like display cables. Don't forget to increase the extrusion width with the scale if you want to print it in the intended manner! www.bitdrafted.com https://www.instagram.com/p/B56bL5PAKYm/ https://twitter.com/BitDrafted facebook.com/bitdrafted
