Swivel v2

thingiverse

Used PLA @ 195. Table @ zero. Printed eighty percent for body parts, employing speeds of 0.10, 3, 3, 3. For end pieces, the same printing speed was utilized at 80% efficiency, 0.15, 3, 3, 3. To print delicate portions of bodies smoothly, I slowed the print speed to twenty-twenty percent, fifty percent at a time. Speed variations depend on simultaneous printing of multiple items. Jello action will not produce satisfactory prints. I removed built-in rafts from swivel body parts and cleaned them up for a snug fit. 3-1 oil proved beneficial in achieving this smooth connection. A female end features an integral, stay-on raft beneath the top surface, which may appear unsightly during printing but ultimately results in a seamless finish. Prong halves of the swivel can be easily disassembled for secondary attempts at fine-tuning fitups. Upon successful alignment, you will want to apply Crazy Glue to ends of your preference, keeping in mind that once glued together, the parts become inextricably linked and may necessitate prong separation with force. Version two body parts are compatible with version one models, yet V2 counterparts have about 1 millimeter more substantial outside diameters. Version 2 end components possess 4-millimeter thickness. As an added bonus, PLA materials mold well under hot water treatment if desired. Prior tests showed a swivel supported by two looped ends capable of withstanding loads approaching forty-two pounds before a prong succumbed to stress. According to some reports, carabiners can also handle forty pounds; results, however, may vary. The fish-carabiner component borrowed from http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:235871 was altered and exhibited better hinge action compared to its original state. If special requests or customizations are desired, I invite collaboration and will work with clients to create their perfect swivel end or suggest exploring the software, SketchUp.
