Mini-Maker

thingiverse

I'm thrilled to reveal that my MakerBot has produced a 44-gram, 7 cm miniature replica called the "mini-maker," weighing 0.2 scale for 3D printing ease. The Google SketchUp file provides full-sized and scaled parts for printing. To avoid overhang issues, print the three components separately, with notches ensuring centered placement. The mini-maker's body is blue, while the plastruder is white. A round toothpick simulates the heater/nozzle by fitting into a 2mm square hole in the insulator barrel. Notably, counter-sunk holes and bolts through the build platform expand usable space while safeguarding the nozzle from damage.
