This model is printed in 4 pieces and the Plunger is designed to work with flexible filaments.  There are 4 files to print: the Plunger, Base, and Nozzle, and Rocket.  The Plunger HAS to be printed in flexible filament (I used Flexible PLA by Ataraxia Arts), and I would recommend printing the rocket in flexible as well so it doesn't break or cause damage.

**Printing, Assembly & Post Processing**
									
**FDM or Resin:** FDM 		
**Scaling:** Scalilng up should be fine, scaling down may affect the threads for the nozzle.
**Supports:** No supports
**Nozzle Size I Used:** 0.4			
**Infill/Perimeters:** 3 Perimeters on the Plunger!  For the other pieces, I used 2 perimeters and 10% infill.
**Layer Height:** I used 0.2 layer height.  Would probably be fine to use a high layer height (except plunger).

2/11/2022: Initial Upload	
	
- To test this model I used Ataraxia Flexible PLA on both the Plunger (necessary) and the Rocket (help it not break but not NECESSARY)	
- I designed the plunger to be printed with 3 walls on a 0.4 nozzle (the walls are 1.2 mm thick so if you use a 0.6 nozzle you can use 2 walls)	
- At the time of writing this, I am redesigining our own rocket but for now you need to download the rocket from the provided link above on thingiverse!	
	
2/23/2022: Rocket Uploaded	
- I have designed uploaded my own rocket for the design so its no longer necessary to use the one from Thingiverse.	
- My rocket design has a sharper pointed tip so it should fly a little bit better.

Stomp Rocket (Flexible Plunger)

rocket.stl

I designed this model as a filament swatch, but also as a test to make sure I have my filament dialed in well before attempting to print more complex models.

The coin has different types of surfaces, angles, and overhangs that will struggle to print well if you don’t have your slicer settings on point, so if you can print one of these perfectly it's a good sign that your settings are pretty good!

**Kick Drum SD/Micro SD Cardholder v1**

This SD cardholder was inspired by the drummer of my band who recently began pursuing professional photography. Features include:

Threaded top and bottom lids
6 SD Card Slots
12 Micro SD Card Slots
"Secret" compartment for storage (approx 3 cubic inches of storage)

**3D Printer Setting Used:**
Printing Orientation:

The two lids were designed to have the open side facing the build plate (the only way to get the details on the top :/ ), so you will need supports on both sides.  I would highly suggest tree supports, I haven’t had any issues removing mine.  


For the main body, print with the sd card sides facing up.  You shouldn’t need any supports for the secret storage area, although they may be helpful if your bridging isn’t great. 

Infill
You should be fine with standard 10-15% infill max and it will be plenty strong.  

Layer Height:
I have only tested this model with a 0.2 layer height and am unsure of how the threads would print with a higher layer height, so attempt at your own risk!

Knurled Fidget Bolt Keychain

This design prints in 3 separate pieces: The bolt, the cap, and the spinner. I included 2 versions of the bolt, a shorter version and a longer version. The cap and spinner work for either.

-The bolt is hollowed to allow the storage of "hand-rolled cigarettes" or a little bit of cash.
-The cap is reverse-threaded to avoid losing it from the action of the spinner, and to make getting into the "hidden" storage a little less obvious.
-Mix and match colors to make your perfect fidget bolt.

Here are the 3d printing settings I used:
No Supports
Nozzle Size: I have tested these with 0.4 and 0.6 size nozzles and they print great. I don't know about anything bigger.
Layer height: The lower the layer height the smoother it will be, but I print them at 0.20 and they work great.
Scaling: I haven't tried printing it at different scales, but I wouldn't scale down too much or the clearances may have issues. Scaling up should be ok.

The Christmas Tree Ornament

Prints in 9 separate pieces flat on the build plate and assembles afterwards, great for hanging on the tree or as general Christmas décor.

Approximate print time is 2.5-3.5 hours depending on print settings. No supports needed.

After printing, just slide the flakes up onto the center shaft in order of smallest to biggest, with the base going on last. When the flake your installing has passed the peg on the center shaft, just rotate and slide down to lock it into place. You can feel free to use a dab of super glue at the joints if you want it to stay together better.

**Thin Air Commercial Tier**

My one and only subscription tier, pay $10/month for:

1)  Access to My ENTIRE Library of Models (both paid and free)
2) My Permission to Print and Sell My Original Designs (Does Not Include Fan Art or Trademarked Designs)

**Subscribing to this plan does not give you permission to sell or re-distribute my digital files, only the prints you create from them.

I have plans to incorporate other benefits (Discord Access, Access to Private Tutorials, etc...) as they come available on this platform and/or as I can reasonably accommodate them.

**How does this differ from my Patreon?**
The benefits are virtually the same, access to all of my models and commercial rights.  The main differences at the moment are: 
- This membership has the advantage of Thangs' model sharing, which is great for viewing/browsing the models you would like to print.
- This membership doesn't yet include Discord access, but I have plans to set that up soon.
- The membership doesn't yet include access to the Private tutorials I have created, but I may be including that soon if there is any interest.

**Will I be closing down my Patreon?**
I have no plans of closing down my Patreon.  Ideally, both platforms would share close to identical benefits, allowing the user to choose which platform they most prefer.
