Vine/Tree - Experimental

prusaprinters

<p>This design is an experiment both in CAD and in printing the CAD design (see below for more information on the special printing configuration). &nbsp;I plan to use this design (or possibly a variation of it) on a future print I am planning, but this turned out so well (if I do say so myself!) that I thought I would share it now.</p><p><strong>[Update Jan.21, 2022]</strong> Here is the project I made with this print :</p><p>https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/121026-pen-holder-with-vines</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>NOTE :</strong> This print will not “stand up” on it's own unless the base is fastened down. I did not include an integral base as that will be part of the future design.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h4>Print Instructions</h4><p>Print this in PLA using the 3mf or gcode files provided. I recommend using a brim for good bed adhesion. &nbsp;Additional notes:</p><ul><li>There are two printable versions :<ol><li>Trunk is smooth</li><li>Trunk has fuzzy skin (via height range customization)</li></ol></li><li>The leaves are printed in a second color via filament switching</li></ul><p>The two photos show the two different versions. &nbsp;Unfortunately it is difficult to see the differences in the photos, but with the actual prints the smooth version appears a bit shiny, while the fuzzy version looks rougher.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h4>CAD</h4><p>The OnShape 3D CAD files for this are here :</p><p><a href="https://cad.onshape.com/documents/9166be7c4e1be0110e72bbf7/w/96b12f04e167d30d56f83944/e/fb963a5117a70ae8cff3c1f3">https://cad.onshape.com/documents/9166be7c4e1be0110e72bbf7/w/96b12f04e167d30d56f83944/e/fb963a5117a70ae8cff3c1f3</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p>
