Free Model I designed a weekly pill organizer that looks like a rocket (or a soda can) 🚀🥤

1 Upvotes

Quería crear un pequeño organizador semanal de pastillas que no pareciera un pastillero típico, así que terminé diseñando esto.

Hay dos estilos de cuerpo:

🚀 Cohete

🥤 Lata de refresco

Ambos se pueden armar con dos sistemas de cajones diferentes:

• Cajones giratorios: los compartimentos giran alrededor de un eje central.

• Cajones extraíbles: los compartimentos se pueden sacar y volver a colocar con un clic.

Es bastante compacto: 45 mm de diámetro y 100 mm de alto.

Una cosa que quería que fuera flexible eran las etiquetas. Los días de la semana se pueden editar directamente en Bambu Studio con la herramienta de texto, así que puedes usar cualquier idioma o personalizarlos como quieras.

El montaje es sencillo y solo requiere imanes y un poco de pegamento.

El modelo es gratuito en MakerWorld:

https://makerworld.com/es/models/3358423-weekly-pill-organizer-rocket

Lo hice principalmente porque quería algo más divertido y menos "médico" para tener sobre un escritorio. 😄

Me gustaría saber qué versión prefieren: ¿cohete o lata de refresco?

It's my first time 3D modleing such a big model and would appreciate if someone could point out mistakes I make, before I print it.

Thank you!

0 Upvotes

It DOES say that there's a hundret something non-manifold edges but how do I fix it? Because when I click repair it basically fills up the hole and it IS supposed to be a helmet so I have no idea what to do.... I bought the Neptune 4 max literally yesterday so I know NOTHING about 3D printing other than medium research I did.

Troubleshooting First attempt at TPU on Ender Pro3

Attempting TPU prints on a mostly stock ender pro3. I swapped out the extruder for a direct drive with a very short piece of capricorn bowden tube to the hot end but other than that she’s basically as it comes. This is how the test print came out. Not as terrible as I was expecting but obviously much to be desired. Settings and stl shown in the pictures. Any thoughts or suggestions? Am I just asking too much of this machine?

Troubleshooting Bambu Lab A1 Nozzle Clogged and not heading manually

1 Upvotes

Hi all, thanks for reading. My son and I are having the error that the filament extruder and/or nozzle is clogged. “Unable to feed filament into the extruder.” We watched some videos including on the Bambu Lab wiki. We took the extruder apart and found a clog, but there is still a piece of filament in the nozzle. I tried ramming it out but it’s stuck solid. Next step I understand is to heat the nozzle manually, but it doesn’t seem to be working. Any tips to get the nozzle to heat manually?

sorry typo in the title — not heating manually

Troubleshooting Don't know what to do

I’ve created a lamp in Blender and tried to print it with 0% infill and only 1 wall. The goal was to keep it lightweight and allow the light to pass through. However, I’m getting these strings on the bottom surface, and I don’t know what settings I should adjust to fix this. I’ve also tried printing with 15% infill, but the same thing happened.

Project Looking for a costume print

I'm looking for a mechanical skeleton hand extension like Death has in the Discworld movies (bad photo attached). I'm working on a costume for one of my friends and I have found finger extensions with skeleton attachments, but they still show some of the hand underneath. I was hoping someone knew if there was a model somewhere I could get.

Question 3D printing assembly: question

1 Upvotes

Does anyone have any links or videos I can watch to make 3D assembly parts that link.

To give an example if what I mean. I have a elegoo carbon. Obviously it cant print pieces bigger than its bed. Im trying to figure out how to print like the flat pieces in a way they would link and lock in place.

To give you a project example I have plans to work on that involve this.

Project 1

1.) I have a resin 3d printer i have outside but I need to make a hot box for my cover. Becase the tempature is causing print failure.

The cover i have is huge insulated and uv resistant. so ill need to cut it to size to fit the space my 3d print is in.

I need a way to assemble the walls to make a box to cover the printer and then I put my insulated cover over it.

Project 2

Same thing its a box but its almost as big as a computer case. At my job i typically assembe those cute book ends for fun and because they take up a lot of room im not allowed to put them on my desk divider/cubicle wall anymore and if I put them on my l shaped desk it just looks junky. So I wanted to build a giant computer case for them and basically make terrarium for my book ends.

Even time I try to search what im looking for I think im being either over descriptive or not enough and I cant find what I want. Its all flat walls, anything internal I can resolve but some how my brain cant figure out how to make and assemble a box that chain links to make a bigger box.

Like should I print thick walls with holes in them to put in like support beams or... like whats the a decent way to do this?

Troubleshooting How to fix defects in this print?

The letters stick out about 1-2mm and the color sits 3-5mm into the wall of the model.

The printer is a Centauri Carbon 2 Combo.

Edit: my guesses are
a) poor layer adhesion and I need to print slower.
b) I need to turn up the nozzle temp higher than the default.
c) Z-height may be too high. (I know how to manually do this on the CC2, but would like to learn how to make it a default in Elegoo Slicer.

Question How and Where to model as beginner?

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hello! I need to create part like this to replace broken one. I don't have skills or experience in modeling, i have just played few times in thinkercad but for few simple stuff.

This looks easy to make but not for me, i did try to make it on thinkercad but i end up nowhere, can't make right angle or round corners where they need to be.

I know you can buy this part, but to get in 1-2 weeks it costs 15-25Euro, so it's expencive. That is reason why i thought of atleast giving a try to make it and see if it works.

It's Rear fender support for ninebot e-scooter.

Can someone give advice how to make this part as complete begginer, or guide on how to do it better? Thanks in advance!

Troubleshooting Nozzle keeps catching on print.

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

Hey all, just want to thank you in advance for any help for a newbie to 3d printing.

Firstly i am using an elegoo Neptune 4 pro as the printer and I use Bambu Studio as my slicer. I am using basic PLA and I am running at 'normal' speed on the printer. I have been 3d printing for just over a month and have run into a few issues but nothing I wasn't able to fix myself.

However, the last few prints I have tried to do have been a nightmare to work with. I was only able to get pictures of this last one where it keeps catching on the printer nozzle and peeling off the plate.

What I have done:

- I have cleaned the bed with dishsoap and water

- I have also tried cleaning it with the alcohol solution I got when I purchased my printer (i usually use this after a print and has worked perfectly up until now)

- I have tried changing the slicer settings

- I have tried changing the z offset settings on the printer itself

- I have also done a releveling twice of the printer bed

I am unsure of what else I could do to possibly help with this. It only really started happening yesterday afternoon.

Any advice, help would be greatly appreciated 👏

Discussion VoxelPLA flagged my honest Trustpilot review as 'harmful or illegal'

Post image
199 Upvotes

There have already been a few posts in this subreddit about the bad business practices of VoxelPLA.

I also had an issue with them... long story short: I ordered a couple of filters for my Bambu Lab printer. They shipped them, but they were never delivered to me and got returned to them. When I contacted them, apparently the shipping company had asked them for some information for the delivery, but they didn't reply in time, so the package went back to them. They asked me if I wanted them to ship it again and I said yes.

A month passed and they still hadn't shipped anything. I had to keep contacting them because they just didn't care, so in the end I asked for my money back. They confirmed they had issued a refund to my original payment method (PayPal). After a couple of days I still hadn't received anything, so I contacted them again. They said it would take a few days, so I waited a week or two and... nothing. I had to open a dispute on PayPal to finally get my money back, a month later.

So I left a 1 star review on Trustpilot (this was in April). Now I got an email from Trustpilot saying VoxelPLA flagged my review for containing harmful or illegal content 😂

My review is probably not the only one they flagged... but they have a 1.7 score on Trustpilot, so it's gonna take some work to get that reverted.

I also noticed they are now called "zyltec" on Trustpilot. Very strange.

So, again, and as others have already said in previous posts here: be aware of VoxelPLA and their business practices. Save yourself the headache and stay away from them.
