Things Josh is Designing/Printing (Formally Mega Swatches)

I bought the first of a few printers I am donating to a local school and one of the kits included in the mystery packs I received was the MakerSupply pack for a certain card shuffler.

Looks like you are going to be responsible for turning 5-11 years into degenerate gamblers.

I hope you are proud of yourself @Josh-3D!

Argh… Still waiting for mine. It seems to have literally fallen off the truck during Wednesdays delivery 30 Min before arrival… Now waiting for a new delivery date.

With ā€œBoard Game Dayā€ tomorrow…

Really jealous :face_with_spiral_eyes:

by the way, i had completed the print, however i’ve run into a small hiccup, and to prevent this happening to you i’ll call it out here as well

on the plate Body and CardHolderBrackets the supports were also created inside the screw holes at the bottom, and i wasn’t - for the life of me - able to remove them, then i went on to try and manually force thread them but that doesn’t work as the material just builds up inside, so now i’m having to print the cardholderbrackets again, with support blockers added to the screw holes

@Josh-3D not sure if something that has been flagged before, but something to note as otherwise the print process went very smoothly, and the design itself is really awesome, can’t wait to finish assembly once the reprint finishes.

one other interesting thing is that the 3mf said it wasn’t compatible with my bambustudio version, however it works just fine in orca slicer, so i used that one

i’ll post a photo once it’s assembled :wink:

Ahh, I updated the plates to try and fix this too. It doesn’t, it wasn’t, printing them in the holes, but suddenly it seems like it started to.

This is odd too? Hmm.

Well, I guess I’ll try and update the plate again to try and fix that support issue. I am going to turn it off all together, I think. It was mostly on for the part it’s on, to try and make the overhand surface a tad nicer. It’s not needed though.

cool yeah i think it can print that overhang without supports, but the support blockers work nicely too, so you may also go that route

I am now at final assembly as the reprints have finished, and now something completely unrelated to your design happens… bambu only shipped me 6 bearings instead of the 12 that are included in the makers supply kit :man_facepalming: so i’m short now :frowning: i’ve raised the ticket with them, and see if they ship the missing item soon…

Ohhhhhhhh yeahhh that’s right, I can do that.

I’m still stuffed on turkey, pardon me. Well, I want to use that excuse, but I hadn’t thought of it earlier either, though, so.

blasphemous!

Many thanks for the heads-up :slight_smile: :+1:

I did not see any obvious problems during printing but I also did not update Studio in the last month due reported issues here in the forum. I dare say I’ll find out when the shipment arrives. Hope that is soon as my little one can really do with a card shuffler due to motoric difficulties but really loving Uno.

For what it’s worth, I updated the print profiles for the card shuffler, to remove those pesky supports that seem to cause everyone issues. I just turned it off all together.

Ahh, I’m getting overwhelmed. Worked has kicked into high gear. There’s a few things I need to swing back and fix on some of my models though, and I just haven’t had the time.

I did think about the spool holder a bit and have a good idea on how to incorporate a lock that would also leave room for the idea of a desiccant holder being inserted. I’m so into my design on that now, haha. Rather than use my stack of Bambu spools, I opted to wait to print a new one of my own.

I want to build a bento box for air filtration so I can print them up in ABS. I got some of those anycubic airpure things and even that makes a difference.

I have ate all the pumpkin pie. It’s a new dawn, one without pumpkin pie. Back to the hard realities of life. The pie-less realities of life.

Is this your brother? Or just someone else who loves to use copious amounts of filament for a project? :laughing:

:heart_eyes: I don’t know who that is, but I feel a long lost connection to them, ahha.

I do have a huge issue with this model though. It was released 2 hours ago, and thus gives me no time to order the filament and print the thing before Christmas! Like com’on man! :sweat_smile:

I’ve been working on a little Christmas gift for my nephew. He’s on the spectrum, in some manner. He is huge on colors, and with Christmas, I realized, there’s not a lot of great toys that revolve around colors.

One of his favorite things to play with is my swatch collection (3d printed swatches). One of my favorite things is trains. Ha. I combined the two. These models aren’t functional train models. They’re just boxcar shaped swatches. I’m putting together a little track and train yard model too, so he can line them up and arrange them however he’d like. I was going to do a generic-ish locomotive and caboose too.

I’ve given my nephew the first round of boxcars though and his eyes lit up when he saw them.

Has anyone created a Gridfinity bin designed to hold the Mega Swatches Case?

Don’t think so, I guess that this is your next project. :wink:

I did make some gridfinity bins for my own personal use. I didn’t figure others would want them, haha. I print a lot of swatches myself though, and it was more than a single swatch case could handle.

They wouldn’t let me submit my entry because I closed my social media accounts (along with accounts of any type) unless it was required during my last time on this earth. I get there are few people in my circumstance, but, given what happened a couple of months earlier, I thought they would make an exception.

They also reached out a couple of months ago to do an editorial and then pulled the request after having me provide my detailed story.

It was annoying as I opened up about my full health issues.

It was childish, and I was insulted then and disappointed they left me out in the cold. No worries, it isn’t like I will have another opportunity to share, OH YEAH, IT ACTUALLY IS.
