Wind Chime Top Plate and Ringer Plate

thingiverse

Introducing the wind chime's Top Plate and Ringer Plate, which require cord and chime materials such as spoons, PVC pipes, bottles or actual chimes. Two distinct Ringer Plates are available - one family-friendly and another with a mildly suggestive phrase (wndchmsmfun.stl). The parts were printed using a Makerbot Replicator 2X with ABS filament, though PLA is also acceptable. Layer height was set at .30, with 2 shells and 10% fill. A feeler gauge of .102mm was employed for bed leveling. Rafts were utilized during printing. The Top Plate was made using Nuclear Green ABS, while True Yellow Abs was used for the Ringer Plate. Printing took place at 90 degrees Fahrenheit; adjust filament temperature to 220C and bed temperature to 105°C as needed.
