Print-In-Place Snowball Mold
- Print-in-place, support-free design for making Snowballs!
- Fairly quick print (3 hrs). You need to be able to handle relatively tight clearances (0.30mm).
- If there is interest I will consider creating molds for more shapes!
Printing Info **These are just the settings I used to test the model, feel free to use whatever settings work best for you.
FDM or Resin: FDM Scaling: Can be scaled up. Scaling down may be fine to a certain degree, but will definitely cause issues with the print-in-place elemtents. Supports: None Infill/Perimeters: 10-15% infill + 2 wall loops Nozzle Size: 0.4 Layer Height: 0.2 Print Time: Approx 3 hours 4 mins (Bambu X1C) Filament Usage: Approx 83 grams (Bambu X1C)
Printing Notes
-
No Supports Needed. Print the model in the orientation that it imports in.
-
No assembly needed
-
The tightest clearance on the model is 0.3 mm. As long as your printer can handle that clearance (which is should), everything should fit together well and move freely.
-
If you wish for things to be tighter or looser, trying adjusting XY Contour Compensation (setting in BambuSlicer, may be called something differeint in other slicers) to -0.10 (to make looser) or +0.10 (to make tighter).
-
The hinge is meant to be nice and tight so any slop doesn't prevent the model from closing properly.
