Hello all and thank you for checking out my post! I wanted to come to you all to show you a simple lifehack print I came up with. One of my first jobs was in the construction business where I was one of the designers, but what made my particular position unique is I was also part of the build team. It was spectacular to see the designs I came up with come to life. When it came time to move on from that job and go to college, I missed the feeling I had from the builds I used to complete. Thus I became attracted to 3D printing, and applied my design skills to come up with simple yet functional designs. Enough about me lets dive into this thing!
My current set up:
- Printer: Solidoodle 4
- Material: White ABS (1.75mm)
- Software: Google Sketch up
- Total Time: ~45 minutes
The design I am featuring in this post is a curtain loop/hook I took advantage of some thin wall mechanics to make a flexible loop to hold curtains open.
The settings I used for this are .1 or .2 mm layer height depending on the time you wish to spend on this. For my first few prints I did a 30% infill but to be honest this is probable not required (have not tested that) printed at a speed of 45 mm/s and I used Slic3r to slice the model. I also had to scale this model down to .6-.8 depending on how thick your curtains are.
Thanks for the interest in my story and this design! Here are a few links to check out if you want to see more of my work.
