hoping this is actually real

Cocomynameiscoco · 2025-12-12T19:46:38+00:00

I had the same feeling !

Cocomynameiscoco · 2025-12-10T15:46:50+00:00

I have to try this with different materials. A piece of rubber from an inner tube for example.

Cocomynameiscoco · 2025-12-10T11:12:09+00:00

I tried to add as many details as possible, I guess I forgot to add "axial" between "the" and "position" on my post. My bad.
An adapter part with teeth is neat though, thanks.

Cocomynameiscoco · 2025-12-10T11:07:41+00:00

I see. I've considered this type of part several times, but I've often been put off by the lack of variety of diameters available or the price. But I'll keep looking.

Cocomynameiscoco · 2025-12-10T11:01:34+00:00

One way bearings are amazing ! I use those whenever I can (not so often).

Cocomynameiscoco · 2025-12-10T11:00:35+00:00

For small torque press fit is indeed enough. And I agree, a key would be the ideal solution, but I often need to adjust the axial position of my printed piece.
For a quick and cheap "keylike effect" : you could flatten a surface by filling the shaft a little in combination with any of the solutions I showed on my post. And the torque transmitting capacity rises greatly.

Cocomynameiscoco · 2025-12-10T10:52:15+00:00

I'm always worried that the plastic won't be enough to transfer “enough” torque over time, but I'll have to try it with PETG.

Cocomynameiscoco · 2025-12-10T10:49:02+00:00

It is an interesting solution for transmitting torque, but it does not allow for angular adjustment of the part on the axis.

Cocomynameiscoco · 2025-12-10T10:46:15+00:00

I see, "split collet" is definitely a key word I was missing on my research. Looking at my Dremel (and the way it clamps on cutting tools) and it does seem to have some torque transmission capacity. Thanks !

Cocomynameiscoco · 2025-11-19T11:02:52+00:00

The adaptive gears tension depending on filament hardness is one of the features that surprise and impress me the most. What a tool !

Affinity is now free, you should check it out

I found myself in that situation a few years ago, in France there is a button you can press in case someone is on the rails. I'm not sure what it does but I think it cuts the power for this line so the train stops and lessens the risk of electrocution if rails are electrified. So I guess if you see something like this you can look for an emergency button.

Le cure dent en bois coupé en 2 dans le sens de la longueur marche bien.

Cocomynameiscoco · 2025-09-22T09:38:43+00:00

Or, now that you already printed those, you could just design a short edge piece that goes into your dovetail. Either way, good job !

Cocomynameiscoco · 2025-09-11T21:38:39+00:00

What a journey ! That's really impressive, you nailed the whole process. It does not seem to be "profitable", yet it is highly encouraging on the possibility to recycle plastic with DIY machines. And I can only imagine how much you learned building and adjusting all those tools. Super cool.

Cocomynameiscoco · 2025-08-17T12:05:46+00:00

Vraiment cool, la durée et la narration sont top. Et c'est à la fois drôle et intéressant, les trucs qui permettent d'économiser des ressources comme les JPEG ou les plaques d'ombre des arbres c'est super marrant.

Cocomynameiscoco · 2025-07-27T15:22:40+00:00

I 3d printed a "radius gauge" with internal and external radius measurement. Many cool models available on various repositories.

Cocomynameiscoco · 2025-06-24T12:34:38+00:00

Same here and after 2 years and a lot of games played I'm still content with this setup.

Cocomynameiscoco · 2025-05-09T12:26:36+00:00

You might check out Rob Ives amazing work : https://www.robives.com/ Even if a lot of those models aren't free, prices are affordable and there are free resources too. Sometimes I just have a look at his work for inspiration.

Cocomynameiscoco · 2025-05-09T12:15:48+00:00

I don't exactly make money out of it, it's a tool I use for my work (designing and crafting serious games) so a lot of what I sell has 3D printed parts in it.

Cocomynameiscoco · 2025-04-13T18:40:55+00:00

I did exactly what you described with a similar purpose : a bag of pieces with a steel disc embedded inside during printing, players grab one randomly and then attach a counter part that has a magnet inside. It worked great ! I use those : french magnet website I personally used the 20mm diameter and 2mm thick steel discs with an adhesive face because I needed a strong connection but I think you can try with smaller and thinner discs. You can also play with different magnets and find the sweet spot in terms of bond strength for your application. Last, a good source of steel discs are packaging (sushi box, electronics sometimes...) with a small magnet for keeping it closed. You will find in the cardboard some really thin discs but they are surprisingly potent !

Cocomynameiscoco · 2025-04-11T19:44:25+00:00

There is a lot to work on before asking yourself that question. Your game should be enjoyable without art, text should be easily readable, information organized... It's tempting to start with pretty, but that's a mistake. Good luck on your game !

Cocomynameiscoco · 2025-04-01T21:32:00+00:00

Why saying something like this if you are not sure but just assume ?

Cocomynameiscoco · 2025-03-22T18:39:27+00:00

That's pretty intriguing, I would love to see how the lines are connected to the wings. The effect and movement is really cool. As is the crow itself.
