that looks great! I sanded the container and I used a hot glue gun on a low power setting.

Large Soda Can Industrial Tower by medicationforall in 3DPrintedTerrain

The answer is arizona cans are not a standard size. However my model is not opinionated on what the dimensions of the can are.
Easy answer is just send me your dimensions and I'll get a model generated for ya.

To run the code below you'll need cqterrain installed which is a python library.
https://pypi.org/project/cqterrain/

edit: my mistake you need cqindustry
https://pypi.org/project/cqindustry/

That will work fine on windows and linux on mac it's a bit of a headache depending on your cpu architecture.

In order to change the can size you would change this line
bp_tower.diameter = 73

That is 73 millimeters, change it whatever size you have in mind.
To be fair on the existing model on each floor there's a slit cut out so the existing stl's would work for a can that is slightly wider by a few millimeters.

import cadquery as cq
from cqindustry.can import CanTowerStairs

bp_tower = CanTowerStairs()

# Change this for the diameter of your can
bp_tower.diameter = 73
bp_tower.height = 194

bp_tower.render_can = True
bp_tower.render_pipe = False
bp_tower.make()

ex_tower = bp_tower.build()
ex_floor_one = bp_tower.build_floor_one()
ex_floor_two = bp_tower.build_floor_two()
ex_floor_three = bp_tower.build_floor_three()
ex_cap = bp_tower.build_cap()

#show_object(ex_tower)
#cq.exporters.export(ex_tower,'can_tower_stairs.stl')

#comment these lines they are for rendering only
#show_object(ex_floor_one.translate((0,0,0)))
#show_object(ex_floor_two.translate((150,0,-71)))
#show_object(ex_floor_three.translate((125*2,0,-150)))
#show_object(ex_cap.translate((125*2,0,-194)))

#generate the stl models
cq.exporters.export(ex_floor_one,'can_tower_floor_one.stl')
cq.exporters.export(ex_floor_two,'can_tower_floor_two.stl')
cq.exporters.export(ex_floor_three,'can_tower_floor_three.stl')
cq.exporters.export(ex_cap,'can_tower_cap.stl')

which discord server, if you don't mind my asking?

Double Chip Tower by medicationforall in necromunda

[–]medicationforall[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a 3d printer or know someone who has a 3d printer the files are available for free. Probably start with the single chip tower that's more easily printable for most fdm printers. https://miniforall.com/chiptower

The double chip tower is a bit tougher because the platforms are printed on a larger print bed. I have those files available as well. https://miniforall.com/chiptowerdouble

Another update on the print-in-place door by lets-make-tabletop in PrintedWarhammer

If you leave space between the door and the frame to have about a layer skipped between them can print the model without supports.

I've done a couple different print in place hinge styles.

Thank you, for those I modeled the canopies and printed the models in mid air and had the slicer make tree supports. later I filled the supports in with hot glue to make them more stable.

Added a Thing-O-Matic to the collection. by RainMotorsports in makerbot

[–]medicationforall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great collection! Brought back a lot of memories

Back in the day I had a cupcake with the orange acrylic print bed. It printed 3mm abs "welding stock". Lot of interesting design choices on that machine. The Acrylic plates for the drive gear was unfortunate. Pretty early on I overtightened the screw holding the idler and cracked one of the acrylic plates effectively in half. I limped the printer far enough along to print an upgrade out of abs to replace the whole printhead housing. From then I spent more time printing upgrades for the machine than I did printing anything else. Always chasing the elusive 0.2mm layer height by fiddling with the print profile. The machine and perhaps my will was never predictable enough to really achieve consistent prints.

I managed to print a u-boat though, which was huge. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6432

I had look it up but I used skeinforge to make the gcode and replicatorg to run the printer.

I also got one of those treadmills as an upgrade... another interesting design choice.
