I was made aware (with threats) of a very similar design when I posted this on reddit. I designed this independently and was made aware of the design after I had already uploaded my model.

To answer your question: about a week ago.

Thank you very much! I am jlad you like it!

Any constructive criticism is welcome and all my models allow remixes, so feel free to modify if you are so inclined.

Thank you very much! Spent a lot of time designing and testing until it printed and felt good, so I am glad to hear that it looks good as well.

Fair take. I usually don't keep it in one place. I mostly watch long form content while I work and have never encountered the problem of my phone needing to be charged in the vertical orientation. I may implement your suggestion at a later date, but you are welcome to remix my design if you are unwilling to wait. Cheers, and thanks for the feedback!

Luckily, I have learned to pre-orient my models correctly, to avoid such fiascos.

I honestly never thought of that, maybe in a future model at some point. I rarely ever charge my phone on the stand, and only when it's horizontal. But I am glad for the feedback!

Glad you like it and happy printing!

 

Just a simple and (in my opinion) sleek phone stand. Link for anyone interested: printables.com/model/1251408-simple-static-phone-stand

If your printer is tuned well and is direct drive, there should be absolutely nothing in your way. Just print the parts separately and, if you want, in different colors. Happy printing!

Apologies for such a belated answer, but I would advise you to steer clear of Tinkercad. It is fairly limited in what it can do, and the skills you acquire there don't really transfer to more advanced CAD software. If I were you, I'd start in Fusion 360, even though I don't like it and use FreeCAD myself, because it's beginner friendly and there are a lot of tutorials on how to use it and for what. I would also advise you to start with something simple, like a hook for example. It is a fairly steep learning curve, and there are quirks if you are making something for 3D printing specifically. If you want more info, don't be afraid to DM me, I'll try to set you on the right path. Cheers!

 

Designed an easy to print spool held together by M3 screws. No supports necessary. Master Spool standard.

3d printed threads and snap connectors are nice, but M3 bolts and nuts are more robust and look dope. They also make the model easier todesign print, since you don't have to worry about tolerances as much.

Hey guys. Just wanted to hear some opinions on the Hero Me system. I personally think it's an neat idea and am definitely going to build one. What do you think? Have you used it?

Hi all! I need a high temperature (~200C) motion system for ahem reasons. I know that at those temperatures steppers tend to cook, so keeping them inside the heated chamber is out of the question. I have already considered belts, screws (lead and ball) and stainless cable. Belts will not work because they will melt. Screws do not allow for static motor mounting and stainless steel cable has slip and extreme tension. Do you guys think chains and sprockets will work? Are they precise enough? Any input is welcome.
