Rotating Rings - Re-mix

prusaprinters

<p>I really liked what Marvin did with the original version of this print, and I wanted to try my hand at recreating it and perhaps making some modifications.</p> <p>My first modification was to make the rings thinner - 8mm compared to the original 16mm.</p> <p>My second modification was to print the faces in two different colors using filament switching.</p> <p>The OnShape 3dD CAD files are here :</p> <p><a href="https://cad.onshape.com/documents/946cf8ed2a7ccc96b58a861d/w/779f326744ca1333cc0607e8/e/87578b4128accad060f45461">https://cad.onshape.com/documents/946cf8ed2a7ccc96b58a861d/w/779f326744ca1333cc0607e8/e/87578b4128accad060f45461</a></p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>Print in PLA using the 3mf file provided - this prints the first two layers in Color1, the middle in Color2, and the top two layers in Color3. All of the rings print at the same time.</p> <p>Also included is a 3mf file for printing in a single color.</p> <p>You may find that the rings stick a bit on the bottom side initially - just work them loose (starting with the center) by pushing firmly on one side of the ring.</p> <p>The basic print settings are as follows:</p> <ul> <li>layer height 0.15mm</li> <li>0% infill</li> <li>top and bottom concentric</li> <li>perimeters = 2</li> <li>elephant foot compensation = 0.6mm</li> </ul> <p>The elephant foot compensation is important to keep the rings from sticking together on the bottom layer.</p> <p>With these thinner rings, it is also possible to print each of the rings separately in different colors, and then "snap" them together after printing. I was able to successfully dis-assemble and re-assemble the rings, but I did not try printing different colors.</p>
