Twisty Fidget Ring (Remix)

prusaprinters

<p>I had posted this remix on May 23rd, 2017, and I wanted to show some friends but it had been deleted. I'm adding it back on again, fingers crossed that it doesn't get deleted/removed or in some other way just disappear. Enjoy! I am...</p> <p>So, I really liked the design, but I wanted something bigger that I could just fidget with using both hands. I scaled it up about 240% (using Simplify3D I used the manual drag to scale to the approximate size that I wanted). I had some minor issues with assembly because the holes in the ring body didn't scale equally to the size of the pins and gears. To make it all work, I used heat shrink to increase the diameter of the pins for a better fit in the holes of the ring body. They were still a little loose so I used some UV cure cyanoacrylate. I included a picture showing the UV glue under the UV light.</p> <p>Note that there is an extra spacer ring that I added to fill the gap between the movable ring gear and the retainer ring and glued the 2 pieces together before slipping it over the end and gluing the retainer ring in place.</p> <p>If you have any questions, feel free to message me.</p> <p>Also, at some point I'm going to remodel the scaled up version to create snap-fit pins as well as add a bevel to the gears for smoother interaction between the gears.</p> <h3> Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Leapfrog</p> <p><p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Creatr</p></div><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p><p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>200 mic</p> <p><p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>25%</p></div></p> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>I created a single STL file with all of the parts needed to print a full unit.</p> </p></p></p> Category: Toys &amp; Games
