I only designed one part so far…but I’ve got a few ideas :slight_smile:

This one has a spigot that fits into most of the holes in the parts. - Those holes are just crying out to have accessories fitted into them! Everything from armour to roller-skates come to mind.

Then there’s extras that fit on using the ball-and-socket joints. I was thinking I’d design a velociraptor claw first. :smiley:

Any other ideas, guys??

Cheers!

Just got started on my velociraptor claw. Thought I’d use Tinkercad, just to make it easy and, wouldn’t ya know it, there’s a whole bunch of Tinkerplay-compatible bits an’ bobs in the library!! Looks like it’s gonna be a late night! :smiley:

Cheers!

And here it is! Forgot to turn on the active cooling for the first few mm so it’s not exactly perfect but, hey. Ya get the idea. The plasticine is an addition by one of my guinea pig clients. :slight_smile:

Oooh! Good idea! A pintail with working wheels and don’t forget spigots for the feet!

Oh! And printable on its side, so we can make it stripey! :smiley:

Not too much to ask, is it?? :smiley:

Cheers!

ps: You can forget the working wheels, so long as we can print them in another colour! :smiley:

hey @Krumbacher! just finished my design! :stuck_out_tongue: it’s not as cool as the Surfdome pintail I gotta admit but it’s a V1 :wink: Need to add some spigots to the board still!

I tried a print yesterday… with no good result. What are your settings? It seems that the parts need to be printed with a single shell and with 100% infill. I printed @ 0.1mm layer height using colorfabb filament.

I am using a Rep2.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Hey there,

All of the parts are designed to be printed without support. I must admit that it can take some time to get just the right settings and I’m still perfecting mine. I’ve found that 3 perimeter shells and 20% infill is a good trade-off at 100uM, using Colorfab PLA/PHA. There is some variation between colours but this is usually in temperature. Do you have some pics of your results that we could see?

Cheers!

why did you get no good result?

was there a failure?

Hi,

It seems I resolved my problems. The main problem was that Tinkerplay on Android throws 75% scaled STL. This will make more difficult to print the files.

See this screenshot:

Google Photos

Finally, I printed a simple robot scaled at 100%:

Google Photos

The parameters I used on a Replicator 2, Simpify3D 3.0.0 and with colorFabb PLA / PHA Olive green are:

  • Layer height: 0.1mm
  • Top solid layers: 7 (could be changed to less)
  • Bottom solid layers: 7 (could be changed to less)
  • Shells: 2
  • Infill: 20% - Rectilinear
  • Infill extrusion width: 120%
  • No support
  • Temperature: 205°C
  • Cooling:
    • First layer: off
    • Above first layer: 100%
  • Print speed: 3600mm/min

When I left my office this morning, the print was not finished. I will see this evening if the test is OK. It should be… I already printed two jointed parts which were good enough.
