My Blender 3d-printing parts/materials library

prusaprinters

<p>This project is not meant to be printed. Instead, it serves as a "standard library" which is linked into some of my other projects, when for example I need a motor, a piece of 2020, a lead screw, etc. or when I want to reference rendering materials such as mirrored/chromed steel or blue PETG.</p><p>In this project you'll find a selection of metals, plastics, filaments, and other raw materials, various small items like an endstop or motor, four different hotends, several different hobbed gears and a model of what I believe is a standard M8 hobbed bolt, pieces of 8, 10, and 12 mm linear rod, Misumi Series-5 2020, bearings, and more.</p><p>If you loaded one of my projects into Blender and it threw a bunch of errors about missing objects or materials, you need this file.</p><h3>Changelog</h3><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>2021-09-27: </strong>Corrected the filename ("tookit" → “toolkit”). &nbsp;How the heck did I miss that?</p><p>2021-08-26: &nbsp;added bore-through PC4-M6; M3, M4, M5, M8 washers; a common 20mm extruder spring; "pancake" stepper (23.5 mm body length, 20 mm shaft, plus 2mm hub thickness). Improved accuracy of RPW-Ultra and BLTouch models (especially element lengths and relative positioning)</p><p>2020-09-15: Added Micro-Swiss A2 E3D nozzle, modeled based on the technical drawing they sent me.</p><p>2020-06-29: Improved the accuracy of the 328x328 bed, replaced its textures with my own work, and fine-tuned the corresponding glass.... and then had to rework the bed again because I didn't spot some holes that got left out until after I uploaded... and then once more because I missed properly-UV-mapping a spot. :-P</p><p>2020-06-05: Improved the accuracy of the BLtouch.</p><p>2020-06-01: Added a BLTouch model.</p><p>2020-04-14: Added a standard 328x328 mm MK2a heated bed, with 320x320 glass and a suitable piece of cardboard. Renamed the frosted lens material and object</p><p>2020-02-10: Minor tweaks to the XT-90 shell, to make it fit tighter; added a 40 mm fan from grabcad.</p><p>2020-01-10: Reworked the standard drill rack. It now has 1 through 10 mm sizes, in 0.5 mm increments, and 11 through 20 mm in 1 mm increments. Also resized the nut traps to make them both exactly 1 mm thicker than their respective nuts, and added a comparable M5 trap.</p><h3>Credits</h3><p>Much of this file is my own work, but a fair number of items came from other sources.
