MINI MONOPRICE MINI | MPSM Select Miniature Scale Model

MINIMONOPRICE The Mini Monoprice Mini To learn 3D printing and modeling, I'm making a 1/3 scale model of my Monoprice Select Mini, which is my first printer. I recently bought it and love it so much! I started creating this miniature to eventually use in a stop motion video that will help sell my first 3D printed product. But to my surprise, those sold out even before I finished the little printer, so there's no need for speed on the stop motion tip now. Although I couldn't resist making the little video loop you see up top. Several people have asked me if it actually works or not, and I thought that was obvious, but don't say I didn't tell you! I wanted to finish the model anyway, so I can learn from it, maybe make that video for a second series, and give back to this community, as I've already had just as much fun on Thingiverse as with the printer itself. Please feel free to print your own Minnie Monoprice and play with her, but don't use her for commercial purposes. She's not like that! If you made one, please share it with me! Also, if you modded it, as you might have done with your real MPSM, show me. It would be great to see different personalized Minis, as I love about 3D printing; no two machines seem the same. So far my mods on the scale model include: robin7331's MPSM Extruder Baseplate v1 (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2029972) robin7331's MPSM Extruder Arm v1 (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2030554) Makify1's MP Select Mini Slip-On Fan Guard (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1834543) https://youtu.be/dVm8qnXM0Tw Print Settings: Printer: Monoprice Select Mini Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.13125 and 0.175 Infill: Changes per item, 20-30% on most parts, 100% on the tiny ones Notes: All grey concept parts are printed in Innofil3D Grey PLA on 210 degrees Celsius on a 55 degrees heated bed in 0.175 layer height. The colourful version mostly consists out of Colorfabb PLA and was printed with a 0.13125 resolution on 200/50. There's no need for rafts and hardly any support material. Only the main tower really needs it, and I've used (Cura) support on the display to double as the display's menu, which came out pretty nice I think. All parts are already laid down on their best side, to get the best printing results and the nicest finish on the side you'd want it most. Post-Printing: I've sanded a few burrs here and there, but mostly it should all just snap together. This might be different if you use other materials or settings. Obviously I've made everything so that I'll get the best results with my setup. To put everything together, you will also need two 50mm metal or plastic rods of a diameter of 3mm for the bed and two pieces of 60mm for the x-axis. How I Designed This I've designed (almost) everything in Tinkercad, as I haven't had the time to really dive into other programs, but I'm well amazed so far by how much I can already do with 'just' Tinkercad! The Lamball Bakra logo on the tower and the name and logos on the bottom were made in Illustrator, exported as .svg's and brought into Tinkercad.
