Molds for Tiko Anti-Backlash Weights
cults3d
Mold for crafting weights suitable for use with a Tiko 3D printer. Inspired by Pratyeka's post on the Tiko forums, where he details using weights to minimize backlash in his TIko. Alternative methods exist, but this project provided an opportunity to experiment with metal casting using a 3D printed mold. For more information on the metal casting process, refer to my blog post: http://thrinter.com/metal-casting-with-a-plastic-printer/ Optional slots are included for embedding magnets within the weights. Exterior slots hold interior magnets in place, utilizing 4mm diameter magnets (4mm*, 6mm*, 10mm*). Wood's Metal fills the mold, producing a weight of approximately 150g. The required weight varies depending on the motor used; my Eustathios printer necessitates different weights for each motor.
