Radio Tower

prusaprinters

<p>I connected a few of the segments to form a tower and then tapered it in Blender to get the aesthetic my buddy wanted. I tried one scaled to 1:32 from the 1:24 the original model said, but it failed near the top since the taper modifier also shrinks and thins it out. So I printed with +0.5mm horizontal expansion at the original 1:24 scale, and it worked perfectly for what I needed.</p> <p>I also designed a Yagi-Uda antenna to go with it. I twisted an exacto in the top hole until the antenna peg fit perfectly since it nearly closed after horizontal expansion. <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4581682">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4581682</a></p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer:</strong></p> <p>Artillery Sidewinder X1</p> <p class="detail-setting rafts"><strong>Rafts: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Supports:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting resolution"><strong>Resolution: </strong> <div><p>0.2mm</p></div> <p><strong>Infill:</strong></p> <p>15% Cubic</p> <p><strong>Filament:</strong></p> Sculpto PLA <p>Green</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>+0.5mm horizontal expansion to make the truss thicc (especially near the top where the taper thinned it out)</p></div> </p></p> Category: Toys & Games
