Modular Fingerboard Ramp & Planter

pinshape

My submission for the MyMiniFactory x Tinkercad contest. UPDATE: It won!! :D I designed a modular grinding bench and rail that can be stacked up low or high by adding more or less mid sections. By alternating their orientation, a nice brick pattern is created, giving the bench a genuine look. If you choose to add more mid sections, you can use the little pegs to connect the lower parts and increase the height of the grind rail. In the middle there is space to plant something small, like garden cress, matching the fingerboard scale to give it something extra special. The Fingerboard Planter also has growing potential with an extra hole in the base for mounting possible future add-ons like a little fountain or 3D scanned bust of yourself. You can simply use one of the pegs as a base for that. I wanted to give the rail a round look but it should also be printable and oriented correctly for sturdiness. Therefore, I flattened the sides, giving you the opportunity to print it lying flat without supports and with maximum strength to withstand aggressive landing and grinding. Unfortunately my build plate is very small (I have a Monoprice Select Mini), so I could only print a micro fingerboard version (66%) as a prototype, but it should prove the concept just as well. I guess I could use that first prize! Also, my printer got a major clog, preventing me from making a nice print in more realistic and different colors, so unfortunately I have to post quick 'n' dirty testrun pics to submit on time. I will post better pictures as soon as possible. I hope you like it, and please build onto and remix the hell out of it. If you do, or just printed this one as is, I would love for you to share it. Happy boarding! Cheers, Baschz This object was made in Tinkercad: http://www.tinkercad.com/thing... Print Settings Printer: Monoprice Select Mini Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.218 Infill: 10% Notes Very standard and easy prints to make. No supports or raft needed. Print the TOP upside down and the RAIL and PEGS on their sides, and start stacking! You Can Also Find Me On Webshop: http://www.lamballbakra.com Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/basch...
