Anyone custom 3D Print ?

Solidworks is fairly easy to learn, that’s why it’s so prevalent in schools. I used it for a long time as an engineering student But Autodesk Fusion 360 is just as good and has a free hobbyist license.

 

It is uneven. It looks like the right side of the cubby is not square and the radius on the left is a bit short.

Here is the list of suggested changes:
1. Grow the back by 0.125"
2. Slant the right side out in the back by 0.125"
3. Bring up the radius by 0.250"
4. Add a radius to the bottom of the walls to better match the outer perimeter of the cubby.


Here is a paint CAD version of the changes.

 

I did a V2 and implemented the recommended changes from your last post. I also took 1/8" from the front height as In2Ndo requested.

Here is the Solidworks file.

I will send you the .stl file for a second test print.

 

Anyone printed V2 yet?

 

Can you email me the .stl file to this one please.

 

Can you send the stl with the rear cable?

Thanks.

 

Check your email, I sent you the V2 FR .stl

 

Will do. Will be after work.

 

Thanks!

 

I didn't receive an email. When you send it. could you please send me the front right and the rear one too. Thank you.

 

I will re-send the files now.

 

In2Ndo, I just re-sent the requested V2 .stl files.
Here are the SolidWorks files:

 

Print is on the printer! Thanks!

 

Awesome!
Let us know how it turns out!

 

So, any word on V2?

 

I just finished cleaning it. Looks great. Now I have to wait for it to dry so I can do the final cure and test fit.

The one downside I have found to resin so far... More steps than FDM. The results are near injection mold quality though, so I think the tradeoff is worth it!

 

Smooth finishes are nice! I don't mind the texture of FDM, but it sure makes print orientation important.
Do resin printers not have to worry about weakness due to layer orientation?

What do you due to cure the part after drying?

 

There is a bit of a texture, but the resolution is 50um, so the layers are tiny.

Resin results in a single solid part. Strength is equal in all axes.

Post processing consists of cleaning in isopropyl alcohol, drying, then exposing to UV light. The UV light cures the resin and gives it rigidity and strength.


Here are some images of parts to try and show the layer lines. That blue handle is about 3/8" in diameter for scale.

 

Interesting. Thanks!

 

So has it cured yet @Trail Limo ?
