<p>&nbsp;</p><p>I fell in love with 3d printing and seemed to lack designs for useful items.&nbsp; So some friends and I have been playing around with this 'MakeWiths' construction platform.&nbsp; Since most of us don't have large-scale printers, we figure why not design pieces that can assemble into useful things.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Previous projects:</p><p>Quadcopter - <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1802451">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1802451</a></p><p>General Parts - <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2471772">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2471772</a></p><p>Print + Screws and O-rings = Omniwheel - <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2480783">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2480783</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Introducing a construction platform that is 3D printed and also has considerations for injection-mold/extrusion should it ever make sense.&nbsp; I liken it to a big-kid legos or erector set that I miss from my youth, lol.&nbsp; Now we can influence and design our own parts, with our own rules and determined best-practices.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I'm not finished yet with this 3d printer, as I want to revisit some items, but am moving across country and don't know when I'll get back to this.&nbsp; If you are interested in joining in, I will happily share the parts.&nbsp; I have learned Onshape since it has the free accounts for public files with collaboration and version control, etc.&nbsp; So from ideas to design and help testing I think we could all have input to make the most useful parts possible, while solving problems and promoting STEM learning.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Printer Todo:</p><p>I need to print the clone to support the 2nd MK3 I have, but that one has no MMU2 yet and maybe never will</p><p>I want to revisit the 'floor' panels to make more rigid.&nbsp;Currently 3mm thick with 5% infill&nbsp;</p><p>Add lights, that are in the mail.&nbsp; May need a Tslot adapter to mount them if not the adhesive that comes with</p><p>I have a concept of a Power Supply mount to get that guy out of the enclosure and intend for it to rotate into position with the Tslot</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Certainly open to constructive criticism and comments.&nbsp;I included the main connection parts…if they don't work on your setup ('click' nicely), I wouldn't move forward. &nbsp;Thank you for checking this out!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Print Suggestions:&nbsp; PETG 0.32 layer heights for speed, 5 solid layers with 5% infill, with an MK3S+ with MMU2 and stock MK3S+</p>
