So this is for a more popular team which I’ve been told isn’t doing so well this year. And when I said “what’s new”, I was told " you know where you can go".

For those who asked last time this is all printed in parts and assembled together in one print like so

PXL_20231209_212831566

Files are again available on Printables and Thingiverse though this model is bigger. I shrank it down in the x and y in my slicer by 50% for these prints

    You can test this with a simple set of pins and a hollown tube to fit. In anything that lets you define parameters, just set the pins to something like [diameter] - .01x[1, 2,3,4, etc]

    The other tip here is to make the parts slightly trapezoidal in cross section, so they start easy and only really pressfit tightly the last bit,

    Edit: it’s different for every printer, even printers of the same brand. It depends a lot on how well tuned it is, and just what the total dimensional consistency is between prints.

      Thats a very fair point. I’ve done tolerance tests with mine and can get away with 0 with some encouragement and .05 just fine. Thanks!

        Yeah, gotta be careful with tolerances from others… speaking from experience.

        More, uh, “experience” than I care to admit.
