3D Print Bros

make 3D

The Perpetual Calendar&nbsp;A fully 3D printed calendar. No Magnets, no bolts, no glue and no screws are needed. Just 3D printed parts.  If you don't have an AMS unit, you can just print the date/month tiles in one color - Then you use a Posca Marker or similar to add the date and months.&nbsp;I seperated each color print (besides the date/months tiles) to individual print plates. Please move these around as you please for faster or more eficient prints.&nbsp;NB: When assembling the calendar please only tighten the axis so you can still move the date and month individually.&nbsp;The indicator tiles needs to be inserted in this order.<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:56.57%;"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/467143/2023-12-30_2ce15f6f96ba7.png"></figure>NOTE: The two housings are not the same.The centerblock one for the days is 31,4mm - The centerblock for the months is 28,8mm&nbsp;If you’re having issues with adhesion in general with your printer - please use the print profile with added brim to the threaded axis. &nbsp;Please have a look at this assembly video I've made. If you follow these steps it's a very simple assembly.<figure class="media"><div data-oembed-url="https://youtu.be/XVZG9G0sLQw"><div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 100%; height: 0; padding-bottom: 56.2493%;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XVZG9G0sLQw" style="position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div></div></figure>This video shows how to orient the date tiles so the calendar works as intended.<figure class="media"><div data-oembed-url="https://youtu.be/AJB0iBZT9bc"><div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 100%; height: 0; padding-bottom: 56.2493%;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/AJB0iBZT9bc" style="position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div></div></figure>&nbsp;Please make sure you print bed is clean when printing the multicolor parts to ensure maximum adhesion.&nbsp;Due to the nature of 3D printed parts being very light, you might encounter that the tiles won't fall down immediately. If this happens just give the housing a little tap and it should fall into place.&nbsp;My calendar is printed with these filaments:Sunlu PLA+ White (I am having bed adhesion issues with this filament - I recommend Bambu PLA White instead)Sunlu PLA+ BlackBambu Lab PLA Basic Orange UPDATE 31-12-2023:Uploaded a new print profile. Version V1.1Made a few modifications to the two housings so the tiles would fall down more consistently.This update also reduces the print time by more than 1 hour.&nbsp; UPDATE 08-01-2024:Some users have been complaining/leaving low ratings about the ironing of the tiles or bed adhesion.  Please modify this yourself within Bambu Studio if your printer is not well calibrated or maintained.  Also, make sure your printer bed is clean from any grease.  I've had zero issues with my own prints. both ironing and bed adhesion.  Printed on a P1S.&nbsp;&nbsp;

An airless ping pong ball! Seen with some of my other ping pong machinations (<a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/166872" rel="nofollow noopener">https://makerworld.com/en/models/166872</a> & <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/207809" rel="nofollow noopener">https://makerworld.com/en/models/207809</a>).&nbsp;Legal weight is theoretically slightly high (based on design program and slicer filament predictions), but I can't feel a difference (and can't weigh down to 2.7g - the slicer says over 3g)&nbsp;Plays super well! Hasn't broken yet (like my pickleball which takes a little more abuse - <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/232041" rel="nofollow noopener">https://makerworld.com/en/models/232041</a>)&nbsp;Is quieter than a normal ping pong ball, but similar feel.&nbsp;When putting spin on the ball - the flight is fascinating compared to a regular ping pong ball.&nbsp;V2 (2024_03_07)Beefed up the thickness and opened up the hexagons/pentagons. More durable and better looking. &nbsp;V1A little rough at top and bottom, maybe slow it down. But so far testing not showing much changes required in the future. Please let me know.&nbsp;&nbsp;I tried the scaled profile to use this as a foosball and liked it enough that I worked on designing a more dense airless foosball (<a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/245307" rel="nofollow noopener">https://makerworld.com/en/models/245307</a>)
