Hey Friends,
No file update today but info on the project: I have noticed some design flaws ...in my files, some gears have to much (small) detail which can't be printed in sufficient usable quality as they are meant to cleanly cut clay or dough without smudging it or getting it to tightly sticker to the cutter to get it off easily. Therefor I will rethink the design to probably have the outer parts and inner parts as separate cutters instead of adding lots of gears with different combinations.
Having inner and outer parts separate also opens up more combination possibilities, easier print ability and most likely better quality.
So as I already said, please stay patient and meanwhile enjoy the already added cutters, they still will work if you scale them a bit bigger.
Update: Testprint Image added: lower left corner cutter is the one with the best settings (I used the Profile.ini for it)
Update: Gears 1-13 printable now.
Design and Images made with Cinema 4D.
Please only use the thingies non-commercially.
Instructions:
-used Smart ABS White/Natural which is slightly translucent
-have a look at the Profile.ini for UM2 printing (for my UM2 and Material it was a good choice)
-had to print with full density to reach best quality, print time didnt change much as the cutters dont have lots of solid fillable parts.
-you can scale the designs bigger but scaling down will probably result in layers not being printed as the walls get too thin
-wall thicknes is 0.8mm and tapered at the edge so scaling up will still have the upper layers printed as thin as your nozzle diameter
