Cetus3D 3D Printer
seadog:
Are you trying to compete with Lego, Andrew :lol:
Joules:
Print two at right angles some distance apart and then press them together so both pins fill both holes.
awemawson:
That 3D shape was actually my first experiment with Fusion 360 when I loaded it up over a year ago - it was just handy to have it and I don't even remember if I deliberately made the peg and socket symmetrically placed - but I presume that I must have as they tessellate :med:
awemawson:
So at Joules's suggestion I ran the 'Joules Test'
I imported two copies of the Peggy - moved them to opposite corners of the build space, and rotated one by 90 degrees.
Then having printed them and removed their 'rafts' pressed them into a very intimate embrace.
When the deed was done I gently separated them just to check the the male pegs hadn't sheered off.
.... I reckon it passes the Joules Test with flying colours :ddb:
Joules:
:thumbup: I'm impressed, you normally get some distortions around the bed with cartesian machines, also with cheap belts and differing tension you may sometimes have to tweak the steps per mm if you can't match the belt tension. Looking forward to more prints.
Do both parts measure the same width and length ? ± 0.1mm. Maybe do the measurement mid way up side of the blocks. Top and bottom might be different due to the shell expanding or contracting.
