WORLDS BEST PRINT IN PLACE CUP HOLDER ADAPTER
bythelightspd
Hello friends. Many of you might have seen the video I made for this about a month ago now. I set out to design a Hyrdoflask" or just large cup adapter for my car.
PRINT SETTINGS IMPORTANT:
this set me on a path that I didn't expect. It has consumed my time. lol. I have tested this thoroughly and made many iterations. THIS IS A HARD PRINT regardless of your experience level.
MY 3MF HAS EVER BODY SET TO A SPECIAL SETTING. The structural parts get 4 walls and at least 30% infill. The cup adapter gets normal walls and infill.
I say this because many take the stl's and do their own thing. I do not recommend that on this one.
MATERIAL:
I cannot recommend the use of ASA, ABS, or PETG more. DO NOT USE SILK AT ALL EVER... IT WILL NOT WORK... This design uses leverage to hold the cup adapter in place. Silk will never have a chance. I used Bambulab ABS GF and its' amazing.
USING THE CUP ADAPTER IMPORTANT:
The mechanism is ONLY designed to turn 1.5 turns. please do not force it. IT IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE CRUNCHY THE FIRST TIME... IT SHOULD LOOSEN UP AFTER THE FIRST FULL 1.5 TURN. JUST WORK IT SLOWLY UNTIL IT FUNCIONS PROPERLY.
EXTRA PARTS:
Rubber... I added rubber pieces with 3M tape and it worked great. Here is the rubber I bought. https://amzn.to/4eyZNxl
SALES:
I hope we sell these. I know there is a huge market for these. I can only hope they get sold at $35+ that's what they are worth.
Lastly remember this is a HARD print and you need a CLEAN bed, a SLICEWORX PLATE https://www.sliceworx.com/?ref=LS3DP5 use my code LS3DP5 for a discount on everything you buy... But be patient, use my settings and brim you should be fine. lol.
BTW there are many more types coming. I will slow release over the next week or so. I just wanted to get these out asap.
LOVE YOU ALL I hope you dig this. I took my tesla to a test track and tried to get mine to fall or break. It can take all the g forces of a tesla both linear, and turning. so... it's solid .
P.S. I included two cup adapters for slim cans. They are a top 20 seller for 3D items on Etsy so I made us a set of the two most popular.
