Available now

$10.00
/ month

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.

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

  1. No Supports Needed. Print the model in the orientation that it imports in.

  2. No assembly needed

  3. 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.

  4. 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).

  5. The hinge is meant to be nice and tight so any slop doesn't prevent the model from closing properly.
