QX13 BUTT-CAN ADAPTOR LEAVES Check out http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2220337 for the "STEM" to this project! This file is intended solely for personal education and study purposes. (The stem portion is open-source, share-alike, and attribution-friendly! But this file is strictly for educational use!) The leaves are a replica of the cap from Gogo Squeez applesauce pouches. They could potentially be considered trademarked, but this file can be used personally to experiment with: Large-scale modeling techniques. Adhesive bonding methods. (I employed J.B. Plastic Weld on PLA.) Modifying connecting components to create unique designs. I created the bodies in FUSION 360 using mirrored pieces, so only one piece-file is required. You can Boolean-add them in a cad program and then design your own creation using similar techniques. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROJECT! I am already redesigning this project into multiple pieces that won't require glue! STEP files are included for both single and double versions, allowing you to modify them in a cad program. Have fun experimenting! This model was sliced and coded using ReplicatorG with 2 shells (3 total) employing PLA. Printed on FlashForge Creator Pro (Similar to Makerbot Replicator 2) Heated Bed: 45 Celsius Blue Painters Tape on bed, no additional treatment required. Print Temperature: 220 degrees Celsius Supports only; no rafts were used. Feedrate: 40 mm/s Travel Feedrate: 55 If you have more optimal feedrates to share, please contribute! REQUEST: Help me improve my sharing! STEP files have proven reliable for me to transport files between different CAD platforms. If STEPs are a problem for you, please let me know what other common and relatively generic cad format works better for you.
