Tin Can Polishing Remix of Reittec Polisher

thingiverse

The original design used a ikea glass drum. I once had my glass drum break horribly and spill powder EVERYWHERE :,( I Remixed this thing to use a steel drum / Tin Can. Now its much more durable! :D I am from germany so the links lead to german suppliers, but i reckon Stuff's pretty similar in different places around the world. (If not feel free to comment.) Also I changed the Wheel attachment to the axles to the Frame to be spanned from the outside. That way you can change a Wheel without a full disassembly. The upper support is a changed design to adapt it to the new container Tin Can and to make it fit to a Prusa Mini Plus build volume. All parts prtinted on a Prusa mini+ in PETG. I printed nearly all parts with 25% infill. Parts list still incomplete: I will update as I finished listing them. :) [Tools needed for assembly] - A Saw / or something to cut acrylic with - A soldering Iron with some solder - Cable snippers - Cable Ties - Screwdriver (With bit according to chosen Screws) - Some Glue to glue the acrylic to the lid (I used "Pattex Kraftkleber Transparent") - Some Glue to Glue on the thingis in the barrel (Also used "Pattex Kraftkleber Transparent") I also tried using epoxy, that also worked like a charm. (My parts are printed in PETG, choose a glue that works with your filament material.)
