resin printed camel nose plug

thingiverse

It's my second go-around with OpenSCAD for 3D design, so bear with me! A neighbor just up the road got fed up paying $15 for a tiny piece of plastic and asked me to come up with a 3D printable version of the standard camel nose plug (don't even think about using those softwood ones - they rot, splinter, and can seriously hurt your camel!). So, after some tweaking and a few hours trying to wrap my head around the syntax differences between POVRay and OpenSCAD, here's what I came up with. Given that these prints need to last for a while and we're talking about harsh UV levels in outback Australia, it's recommended to use a blend of flexible resin and heavy-duty resin (about 50/50) to avoid them becoming too brittle and snapping apart. I'll be using Monocure TUFF and Monocure Flex100 in that ratio, but whatever you can find with similar properties should work just fine.
