mostly "private" notes for now...

3D Printing

  • snap-fit ring to hold the mesh
  • low-poly circle in Tinkercad may actually be beneficial for this purpose - bit more room for error?
  • designed to be about right (ID = tube OD + 1 mm), but final fitting had to be tried with small adjustments in Slic3r (P4/P5: 100.4 % scale)
  • 20 % infill, 0.3 mm layers
