maximum black ice timer

thingiverse

3D printable ice release timer mechanism engineered for maximum reliability and consistency, with minimal support needs during printing. Key features: > Flat base for stable standing in freezers Attachment hole at base for easy installation Pyramidal interior ice vessel reduces expansion stresses, ensuring optimal performance Overflow holes on sides allow for precise filling without excessive care Compatible with zip ties up to 1/4 inch and below; string is also an option A 90% scale model has been tested to a 2-hour time delay (print settings are available in the information section). This design uses 30-degree draft angles all around, making it possible for any printer that can handle overhangs at 30 degrees from vertical to print this model with only a thin support along the axis. The orientation on the bed is carefully chosen to avoid catching risks on the zip-tie. When using this mechanism, be cautious not to insert objects that may catch on their way out of the vessel. Load-bearing capabilities have not been tested and are highly uncertain.
