MI HERMANO SABES QUE LA PIEZA DEL SHARE ME SALE TODO RELLENO COMO HAGO PARA SACARLE EL RELLENO CON CURA?

Find Setting: In the "Prepare" tab, search for "spiral" in the settings or look under "Special Modes".
Activate: Check the box for "Spiralize Outer Contour".
Set bottom solid layers to 3 layers.

I encourage you to use Orca Slicer as it is more advanced.

Hey, I'm unable to open the .3mf files. Is it possible to get the STL data?

On the Dueling Sabers. I can send you the stls but there are settings that are specific to each part. What slicer are you using? I used Orca Slicer to make the 3mfs. if you're still having problems, please give your email and I'll send you the stls.

Hey,
What are the different hoods for on the toilet paper holder?
Thanks, great model, btw..

I figured it out...one is supported and the other is not! Thanks

Thanks!

Hi,

This sounds great! If you can make it fit to 175x175mm would be perfect.

My email is joh.becker at web.de

Thanks
Johannes

Hi,

I like the design of the saber clock and did buy it. Only afterwards I realized that is does not fit on my Prusa Mini.

Is there a way to scale that model so that it fits on a 180x180mm plate? If you have a CAD file that I can use, I will happy to do that myself.

If it works at the end, you can have that version and you can add that to your design

Johannes

I just had a request for smaller dial that would fit on a 220x220mm bed. If you could give me your email, I'd send you an even smaller dial that would fit your Prusa Mini. The hands would also be shorter.

I just tried to make it fit a 180 x180 plate but it would be too small that the top numerals will collide. See image here - https://imgur.com/a/reduced-dial-180x180-BusMR1O

I could split the dial in sections and place alignment holes where you can use short pieces of filament as alignment pins. and glue the face if you like. Since the files in the 3mf are step files, you can also do it yourself in CAD if you can. Let me know

Ciao favolosa la tua registrazione e Vorrei scaricarla per poterla realizzare con la mia stampante 3D però ti chiedevo se potessi aiutarmi a riceverla gratis in quanto mio padre no condivide le mie scelte.
Grazie Ciao

Hi, your recording is fabulous and I would like to download it to be able to make it with my 3D printer but I was asking you if you could help me get it for free since my father does not share my choices. Thanks Hi

what model are you referring to?

Yet Another Quick Change Toilet Paper Roll Holder - Hood

Scusa lo so io cosa devo chiedere
Yet Another Quick Change Toilet Paper Roll Holder - Hood

I am sorry. I think I would rather not get involved with your family affairs.

I just downloaded your paper towel holder and it downloads a safari web page but no zip file that is possible to open or upload into my Creality app. Would you please send me the unzipped files or fix the way your zip file downloads?

Please download the zip file on your PC or Mac. You can then unzip it and it will contain all the files (there are several files arranged in folders to accomodate different spool sizes).

If you are still having trouble, plese give me your email address and I will send unzipped files.

What size springs did you use for the paper towel holder? I have an assortment of springs and the smallest possible compression spring that I have does not fit within the arm and pin.

In the Assembly Guide.pdf :
- 2 pcs coil springs commonly found in retractable pens or more commonly called click ball pens. 4.3~4.5mm outside diameter, 25~30mm long.

Insert them in the groove of the Arm as shown in the video - https://youtu.be/eslTlW9j2jc

Paper towel and Toilet Paper Arm and Pin are the same so springs are the same.

Thanks I'll give that a try. Suprised that size spring doesn't come in the assorted spring kit that I bought.

Good afternoon 🌞. I really liked this model. For an additional fee, you could increase this model to the size of a 3D print in width approximately 210mm / 210mm and height 240 mm. And also make the dimensions of each cell as the original honeycomb 5.3 - 5.7 mm (wall from wall of one honeycomb). Also the diameter of the inner large hole is approximately 81 mm (I will tell you the inner diameter more precisely later in the next few days). Best regards, Oleg 🌞

File Formats for Slicing :STL,OBJ,3MF,AMF

I'm sorry but which model are you referring to? Cults messages are not linked to models unless you comment on them.

Good day 🌞.. Here is the model number - 230312. Best regards, Oleg

I see. The Honeycomb Lampshade. If you check carefully, I have included the .3mf file. It's fully parametric so you can customize the size and dimensions as you like using Autodesk Fusion 360.

Hello. I downloaded your "wave lamp". However, I have a problem with the file "shade.stl". When I slice the file in vase mode, I don't see the lower layers with the holes and Cura shows me the file in preview mode with lots of red lines hanging in the air. I also don't know what you mean by the word "Volltonschicht" of 2 mm? Perhaps you have an idea how you can help me. I would be very grateful. Regards, Uwe

In Cura, VASE mode is called Spiralize Outer Contour. Here, you can set how many bottom solid layers your model should start with. Also, use brim to make sure the "waves" adhere to the print bed.

In the Wave Lamp shade.stl, the bottom solid layers should be 2mm. For example, if your layer height is 0.2mm, you can set it to 10 layers (0.2mm x 10 = 2mm)

I hope this is solves your problem and enjoy the Wave Lamp.

I've been trying to find a clock movement that fits the requirements...

Design #632732 Retrograde Clock.
'12888 clock movement with 4.5 mm length threaded shaft (WHITE SHAFT with 4.98mm dia. hour shaft/3.12mm dia. minute shaft) with rubber washer, flat washer and nut for mounting.
Sample

2 pcs - 18 mm x 2 mm dia. round rod (brass or stainless steel). Ends should be free of burrs and chamfered to allow for easy insertion.'

Your sample is from Asia... no issues there, just that it would take forever to get here.
Have you, or anyone else, found the ideal movement from Amazon etc?

On your suggestion from aliexpress....
Options of thread shafts:
The 12.4mm thread shaft... (with 4.5mm threaded part) option?

Thanks

This is the closest I have found for amazon US. https://amzn.to/459nngS

It is slightly longer but the important part is the hour and minute shaft diameters. If it sticks out of the clock face too much, we can make a spacer to shim the movement slightly backward to align the gears.
Let me know so I can make a spacer with the right thickness for you.

Bonjour, est-il possible d'agrandir en largueur le support, sans toucher aux dimensions des deux patte.
Je voudrais l'utiliser comme support essuie main,
J'utilise de gros rouleaux professionnel d'un diamètre de 190mm en exterieur et d'une largeur de 180mm
Merci de votre réponse ;)

Au plaisir de vous lire
Bien Cordialement

Frédéric

Thank you for your interest in my roll holder. I've made changes to accept professional roll of 190mm diameter x 180mm width. See CAD image here https://imgur.com/a/WCELhm6

If ths is ok, I will update the creation to include this new bracket.

Having issues with one pin side always breaking. I've been through 6 pins in 2 months. Not sure why I'm having issues with the pins. I have the paper towel model and no issues with those pins.

It's normally 2 out of the 4 clip ends break and then the arm falls out

Is this the shelf TP holder? Can you send a picture of the broken pin?

When installed, the clips on the pin should not be under any stress. The only time it should bend is when it is being inserted right before it clicks. Inserting it should not require a lot of force. A thumb or two should be enough. The pin diameter is slightly smaller than the socket. If you move it sideways, it should have a slight wiggle. See video below

From your photo, it seems you have a slight over-extrusion and inconsistent line width. You may want to reduce flow to compensate and/or sand the walls smooth. If it’s still too tight, try to scale the pin and reduce XY to around 97%. Also clear the gap and remove strings between clips so there is no obstruction.

Also, do the pins break on both brackets? If it only happens on one, there could be something inside the socket that’s stressing the clips when ithe pin is nstalled.

I printed the wrong size holder (130mm) and its too big, is it possible to make longer paddles so I don't have to toss that one away?

I see. What is your spool width?

It is for the shelf type tp holder right? https://cults3d.com/:1221402

Spool measures at 101.6mm or 4 inches roughly and correct its for the shelf tp holder. Thanks for the quick response

I added 10mm to the arms. Any shorter and the spool will still fall out if you move the roll to one side. Please give me your email and I'll send you the edited arms.

Sent! Let me know if it works.

Works perfect! Thank you

Great! Glad to hear that.

Hola,
Compre su otro porta rollos sin muelle, ahora veo que tiene la versión 1.2 con muelle que parece ir mejor.
Hay una actualización para su versión antigua?

Hello,
I bought your other roll holder without a spring, now I see that you have the version 1.2 with a spring that seems to work better.
Is there an update for your old version?

Just updated yesterday. https://cults3d.com/:616493

Sí, eso ya lo sé.
Mi pregunta es, tengo que volver a comprar los archivos? yo tengo su versión antigua....

Yes I already know that.
My question is, do I have to buy the files again? I have the old version...

To download a file you have already downloaded it’s really easy. Connect on Cults with your logins, go to your personal account to see all your orders: https://cults3d.com/en/orders.

Muchas gracias!!
Sugerencia, sería posible añadir una barra que apoye el royo de papel para poder partir el papel?
Ahora su diseño, hay que tirar del papel para romperlo, creo que sería más practico añadiendo una barra o algo para que sea más fácil romper el papel.
De antemano, muchas gracias por su diseño!!

Thank you so much!!
Suggestion, would it be possible to add a bar that supports the roll of paper to be able to split the paper?
Now its design, you have to pull the paper to tear it, I think it would be more practical to add a bar or something to make it easier to tear the paper.
In advance, thank you very much for your design!!

You are welcome.

I will think of something.

In the meantime, watch the .gif and try to copy my paper tearing technique - gently pull the paper until the perforation is just a little above the arms, then quickly pull sideways and inward to the wall very quickly)

Sí, es lo que hago, pero a veces se va más de una servilleta y se quedan como 4 o 5 fuera del royo y tienes que recoger en el royo para volver a ponerlo bien.
Muchas gracias por escuchar sugerencias!
Estaré atenta

Yes, that's what I do, but sometimes more than one napkin goes away and about 4 or 5 remain outside the royo and you have to pick it up in the royo to put it back correctly.
Thank you very much for listening to suggestions!
I will be attentive

It has taken a long time but I finally updated the design. I have inlcuded a hood as you suggested.
I hope you like the new version. https://cults3d.com/:616493

Oh thank you very much! I print it right away!
Thank you for taking my comment into account!
Greetings!

oohhh Muchas gracias! De inmediato lo imprimo!
Gracias por tomar mi comentario en cuenta!

Hello, I just purchased your STL for the rubber band gun. Can you help out with an amazon link or McMaster Carr link to the proper rubber bands?

Thank you for your purchase!

Hi,
I made the retrograde clock recently, and found that the 12.4mm shaft length clock mechanism was too short, i could not get the nut to thread on more than maybe a quarter thread or so, even without the rubber washer or the flat washer. I was able to make it work by printing the clockface "buried" into my build surface in cura by a couple MM and then throwing some tape on the back to cover the shaft holes. Going to make a couple more of these for family, and I think I'm going with a longer shaft. Once I got everything aligned, this clock works perfectly and I love it. (except at midnight, the hours flip about 30 seconds before the minutes and it drives me crazy. :) )

The threaded shaft should be 4.5mm long. As the clock face/chasis is only 3mm thick, it should fit without problems. Also, the rubber washer has a recess in the middle on one side and that should be placed facing the movement body.

As for the hands not falling together at the same time at 12 o'clock, take time to fine tune the placement of the minute spiral. In your case, the minute spiral is 30 seconds late so the hour hand falls sooner. Remove the minute spiral and replace it with an ever so slightly forward position (about 3 degress clockwise if the error is 30 seconds). Lift the hands up unti the spirals clear the pawls and adjust the clock to a few minutes before 12 o'clock. Wait and observe until they both fall at the same time at 12 o'clock. It may take several trial and error attempts to get this right.

hi.
question about your watch; "RETROGRAD KLOCKA MODELL 2"

how wide is Backplate in cm..?

kent

Biggest piece is the Chassis / Face: around 210mm x 150mm
For those with smaller build plate, a split Chassis/Face can be printed on a 150mm x 150mm or 150mm diameter (delta) print bed. The split pieces can be aligned using a pair short (~5mm) piece of 1.75mm filament alignment pins. They can then be glued using CA glue.

Hello... I am finally trying to have this made.

But i have a question... the chassis piece is ONE piece... but TWO colors.
How do I order this (I'm using CraftCloud) with a WHITE face but with BLACK numbers & accents?
(in PLA)
I would Really appreciate any help.

Thanks,
SS

Thank you for choosing my design.

I have no experience using CraftCloud,but if you can, give them a note about the chassis to have filament color change at the layer above 3mm from white to black. It may also be helpful if tou give them the link as a guide.

Is there a company (like CraftCloud) that you are familiar with and could recommend?
Someone who could print the parts and send them to me?
I don't have, or have access to, a 3D printer.
I really appreciate your assistance.

I'm sorry but I've never tried 3d prnting services so I can't make any recommendations. You can look into the large ones https://all3dp.com/1/best-online-3d-printing-service-3d-print-services/

You can also try to google "3d printing services near me" for services near your location.

Also, there is also a large community on reddit where you can request 3d printing of the clock parts. Please check out https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprintmything/

se me olvido decirte que tambien quedan muy ajustaas las piezas que hacen el movimiento tube que lijar bastante , creo que si las hicieras 1 milimetro mas pequeñas de diametro sria perfecta gracias

You are the first to say the pins are too tight. Now I made Pins loose fit.stl - diameter 1mm smaller
But I suggest you check your printer calibration with this test - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:342198

hola esta mal echo el papel se sale por los lados tenias que haberlo echo unos centimetros mas pequeño

too wide? make it shorter? https://imgur.com/a/OtYlz7V

Made and uploaded new Bracket 120mm.stl. Please download again and check if ok.

en españa los rollos son de 10cm seria mejor bajarlo 2cm total 11cm gracias

Added Bracket 110mm.stl

Hi, since i dont have the measures yet i bought the design to not make you feel im playing with you.
Later i will have it and write an email to you

Thank you very much. This is what I have with me now. Please check if they are the same. https://imgur.com/a/VBIKh3E

Yes, this one can work

I have a better idea. I will just make the hour body thinner and minute body thicker by 3mm. Assemble exactly the same way and no more extra parts to glue.

I have updated the creation. You can now download STLs for 28mm shaft

Thanks for it

You are welcome!

Good Work
Greets

Thank you!
