MakerGear Forum

Here are some items that I made, I use Rhino 3D and S3D.

1- replacement cup holder for a work van of my parent's company (I hadn't learned about not allowing S3D to start at random locations for each layer, and the top brim wasn't 100% properly drawn in Rhino, but with a little bit of touch up it works).

2- Inserts for a container, I used this one to sort and store all the extra hardware that MakerGear includes (which is awesome that you get extras of almost everything)
3- case for a small LED circuit I had quickly made one day when first messing with SMD (Surface Mount Device) LEDs. It would have been easier to remake the whole thing, but I wanted to make a case around the existing item for a challenge. I had to reprint the thing one time because I messed up in Rhino by not going through the proper motion to extrude a face, so it was 2 mm too short for the 9v battery. lol.



4- a replacement knob for some fans.

here are the knobs.
Filament guide that holds the tube and can have kimwipe wrapped around the filament as a cleaner. a thing to hold some of my more commonly used items at my desk.

Last one for now- it is a replacement part for an older floor machine. The cage that held a float to prevent water from getting into the motor if the tank got too full had rusted the bottom out, I first printed it in PLA because I had no idea how ABS would print for my design, then later decided I would never know if I didn't try!... of course my motor mount did give it up on the first attempt, but about an hour after that discovery, I was up and printing again, and the ABS turned out great!

Thats probably enough for now. I've done a ton of things, but I can't sit down and ask what could I print, it has to come up in life or as a request.

Awesome stuff, glad you're enjoying the M2!

Great modeling work. The prints look good, too. If you want to reduce some of the resonance induced waviness off the corners, you can try lowering acceleration without giving up too much in print times. I think the appropriate gcode is in the "M2 tips" thread in the tips forum.

Thanks, I hadn't actually noticed that, I will have to try to adjust that.
