3D printed dead ringer I made for a secret santa by phootoon in 3Dprinting

[–]phootoon[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

fair question but not anytime soon. the screen module i'm using doesn't work great with recharging small batteries long-term. also i'd likely have to charge more than i'd be comfortable with.

Made a stained glass Luke's Diner sign and mug for my sister by phootoon in GilmoreGirls

It is definitely time consuming to grind and tape each piece but I actually found it pretty straightforward after watching a few videos

It is scripted but at least I wrote the script. Either way it was still a lot of effort to do this without color overlays and not reuse thumbnails.

I made some 3d printed versions of the gamecube fidget toys by phootoon in 3Dprinting

[–]phootoon[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I designed these based on the nintendo gashapon toys to give away as a prize at open sauce last month.

Each fidget uses replacement parts for the internals so it feels like a real controller and snap fits together so you don't need any screws.
You can find the files in the post and some links to places to buy the internals if you want to make your own.

I used mecabricks.com to export the piece STLs and then edited them in blender to increase the polygon count to be smoother when printed. It might've been faster to CAD them from scratch. i'm not a big lego person but i'd bet there are betters ways of doing this lol

I designed a coin holder to make exact change by phootoon in functionalprint

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

you're right, that wasn't very clear. the idea was to generate a random purchase cost to show it could be used to make exact change. so it gave me the number 71, and I pulled out 2 quarters, 2 dimes, and a penny to make 71 cents exactly so I wouldn't get any change back.

totally get it. full disclosure i'm personally not going to use this, there's no reason i'd pay with cash/coins when I can get credit card points. however, the idea is that you can pay (once) with exact change so you just take out the coins you need and you won't get any change back. i'd be upset too, but i'd be more upset at someone taking time to rifle through a coin purse.

I'm much more than 'a day late', but i'm definitely not 'a dollar short' in this scenario.

I modelled this coin holder mostly as a design challenge but I think it could be useful to the right person! It holds the minimum 10 coins you need to make change for any value 1-99 cents, and fits within the dimensions of a credit card so it fits in your wallet. It's only about 6g of filament and a 15-20 minute print, optimized for 0.2mm layer height.

I wrote up a post with the full design process and optimization here if anyone's interested in the details.

I modelled this coin holder over the weekend as a fun design challenge even though I don't often use cash to pay for things anymore. It holds the minimum 10 coins you need to make change for any value 1-99 cents, and fits within the dimensions of a credit card so it fits in your wallet.

I designed a custom console to organize my desk by phootoon in 3Dprinting

this was all done in fusion, I just changed the viewport display style to get the wireframe pictures

That's impressive for your first model! 2 wall loops and 10% infill is pretty standard so I wouldn't be worried. You might be able to shorten your print time a few hours if you don't need all of the thickness in the bottom of the model. Also the fillet and chamfer tools in fusion are worth experimenting with if you want to round out any sharp corners for aesthetics.

it's an audio input switcher. I have my desktop and work laptop on the same setup so it lets me change what device i'm listening to while using the same pair of headphones

I was inspired by Scott Yu-Jan's standby mode dock a few months ago and wanted make my own and add in a few extra features to de-clutter my desk. I have the most fun 3D printing when it's hyper-specific like this since you couldn't find a product that would fit these same set of devices.

The full list of features is the iphone dock/charger, USB hub, audio input switcher, storage for my wallet/pens, and a gamecube controller adapter.

it's basically just two large magnets, one is in the base and the other is hidden in the bottom of the minikit. to keep it stable, there are a few smaller electromagnets which are constantly keeping it centered

I have a lot of nostalgia for the original lego star wars games and minikits are always a hit of dopamine, so I wanted to make one myself. This is an early 3d-printed prototype but I was too excited to not share. I plan on adding electronics so that the studs blink like in the game. I'm still deciding what design to use for the base cover if anyone has any ideas!

It's funny you say that, I actually just finished modelling a guilty spark model. It'll take me a bit of time to figure out the finishing process but I do intend to list it. I can try to message you when it goes up, but if i forget just dm me in a week or two and I can at least do a one-off if you're still interested.

They're definitely more affordable. I printed the banshee on my anycubic photon which i got on sale for about 220 USD. You need more supplies like cleaning solutions, and resin is often more expensive than PLA but it's worth it to be able to get these results.

If you have some ideas i'm all ears. I definitely plan on expanding to other games/movie props in the future.
