Topic: SYTYCP - Week 3 Yo Yo, DesignerFred
2n2r5 Print Challenge Week 3 -
About the .stl:
File Name: DesignerFredYoyo.STL
Description:
This is a wonderfully detailed STL that produces a one piece yo-yo designed by DesignerFred. The idea here is to find a way to print this which preserves the integrity of the yo-yo. This design is being used with permission from the owner. Thanks Fred!
Thingiverse Item#: 130558
Print Time: ~ 2 hours with default SD .3mm layer settings
Filament used: TBA
What are the challenges?:
Supportless support or vice-verse: If printed on the flat side, you will need support material to hold up the other side of the print.
No foot prints: If printed upright, there won't be much surface contact to hold the print.
What to do to give yourself the best chance for success:
For Slic3r vs .9.10B:
Print upright but do not click the "enable support" function.
Instead use the "Enforce Support for the First: X layers" by itself. Change this to 10-15 layers to hold the Yo-Yo firmly at the base.
NOTE: I will post some photos tonight. For now, see DesignerFred's thingiverse page.
