Cartoon Hand Extruder Remix vertical print Monoprice Mini IIIP

thingiverse

The creator has lamented the difficulty with supports when the hand is printed horizontally. This remix allows the hand to be printed vertically, separate from the pin. Print both parts with attached brim/skirt to ensure the fairly small bases will not detach the print from the bed. It may be necessary to select the hand and use your slicer's feature to designate the bottom surface (place surface on bed) as I had to "eyeball" the sleeve to the horizontal position. If you don't use the slicer feature, you may get unneeded supports and an irregular surface. Print both parts on the bed at the same time. This ensures that the pin will have sufficient cooling at the thinner portions. The hand has a 3.3 mm hole for the pin. I had printed it with a smaller hole and found that a 3.3 mm drill bit worked well, so I modified the model to 3.3 mm hole. Your printer may fill in a bit of the hole, requiring filing, sanding or drilling to get the pin in place.
