3x3 EA Openforge Floor Tile (With Smaller removable supports)

thingiverse

This is a Remix of the Openlock Tessellation Template for the EA (3"x3") Floor tile. The OpenForge Team are Tremendous!.....But (there it is) they appear to be designing for FDM or FLA printing and I use Resin SLA. and Resin printing can print better detail higher resolution however Resin prints more brittle so when trying to remove the supports to allow access for the clips I found myself breaking a lot of Tiles at the support points. So! I went to Blender and fixed it for me. This Version has smaller diameter and foot print Supports in the Openlock Clip Windows so they can be removed easier. I have test printed this and found it works perfectly and the supports come out with ease now. I am still learning Blender so forgive me if all of the supports are not exactly the same width/diameter feel free to contact me with ways to be better at that. I print these floor tiles with Elegoo Brand ABS Like resin I print them with 60 seconds for the bottom 3 layers and 8 seconds each later after that. Some times I print with a .03 mm layer height depending on other things on the build plate (clips or things that are of equal overall height or less) but if I am printing something else that is taller I print with a .05 mm slice layer height and I haven't seen much difference. I print the tile bottom down flat to the build plate with no supports or rafts, I usually use Glue Stick on my build plate to ensure adhesion and I coat my FEP film with a thin layer of PTFE lubricant to ensure nothing sticks to the FEP film. I typically will print with the detail block (1"x1") terain blocks at 6.5 mm centered directly over the tile so they print together as one piece this lets the 1' squares to come up fully with .5 mm material under them so all the details are clearly defined. I plan to edit all the Open Forge Blocks I will use and remix them on thingiverse as I do. But my build plate is 3" by 6" so I will only remix pieces that fit on my plate. I hope you like this and if you do please let me know if it works and If there are any other changes you would like to see.
