Schrute Nutcracker / Nußknacker with optional long Handle-Arm

prusaprinters

<p>This Model is a Remake with some additions, from: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3315031<br>############################################################################<br>Here is the original Text.<br>This is the nutcracker that Micheal Gives to Dwight in the Secret Santa episode of The Office (s06e13). I modeled it in Fusion360<br>I wanted to keep the overall look in line with the actual prop while making printing and assembly relatively easy. With that in mind, I printed each gear/shaft assembly as one piece. The actual prop has the gears machined separately and then assembled together.<br>The gears were printed with 5 perimeters and 50% infill. The handle, handle arm, and each frame side were printed with 3 perimeters and 25% infill. The rest of the parts were 2 perimeters and 10% infill.<br>The handle, spacers, and tray were all printed with brims to help with adhesion. Support was required for the gear/shaft assemblies, handle arm, and pipe brackets. I made sure to print the supports with an interface layer. This simplified support removal and was especially helpful on the gears.<br>You'll need to print 3 retainer rings, 2 spacers, 2 frame sides, and 2 pipe caps.<br>I used M3x12 machine screws for the pipe brackets and M5x8 grub screws for the retainer rings and handle arm. I used M5x20 machine screws for the frame and handle.<br>############################################################################</p><p>My Text:<br>I have added 2 more optional Sizes for the handle Arm to get a better leverage for nutcracking.&nbsp;<br>I recommend to print these parts in PETG with 60% Infill.</p><p>While this Construct with 60% Infill is generally able to crack Nuts (see pictures),<br>there are some constructive shortcomings that will render it useless as a real Nutcracker.<br>So this thing is simply something "to look at".<br>I have added a longer Leverage, but i think there are more changes needed to make it a good Nutcracker.</p><p>For those Parts that need be very hard, for example the long Handle-Arm, i can recommend wether PETG or Biofusion, this&nbsp;</p><p>https://amzn.to/3s49xcU<br>If you want it to glow in the dark, use this PETG: https://amzn.to/3EUKnVT</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
