Triangular Dovetail Joint Microbox

prusaprinters

<p>The idea for this came from Thing 11977, although the design is all new.</p> <p>Basically, it's an apparently impossible dovetail joint that opens by rotating. My interesting little observation was that it needs almost no thickness, and no core, in order to lock and rotate well. It's a tiny empty box. As a result, this prints in a few minutes on our MakerGear M2 --<strong>it prints better and nicer scaled-up 2X</strong>.</p> <p>There are two versions here as STL files: one with the new University of Kentucky logo on one side and our department name (ECE) on the other, and a second plain version. The logo one was made in quantity and handed-out to EDay Open House visitors to our lab; interestingly, we had no problems fitting pieces together that were made on either of two MakerGear M2 and one Wanhao I3.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>MakerGear</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>M2</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>any</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>10-25%</p></div> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>Printed in 0.25mm PLA<strong>scaled-up 2X</strong>.
