Cursed IC - Coffin shaped candy dish (or "dead parts" bin)

thingiverse

## About this print Inspired by the Commodore 64 "Repairathons" done by Adrian Black on YouTube (channel: Adrian's Digital Basement), I've tried to make this as much of a cursed object as I could by including appropriate markings for the unreliable MT memory chip and a socket with round holes. ## Max Hex For maximum cursed object aesthetic, print the pins using a metal-filled filament (see Protopasta), assemble, use a heat gun to bend out one of the legs out of the socket, and then spray with vinegar or something else corrosive to cause the metal-filled filament to tarnish. ## 1xScale vs 12xScale files: - 1xScale files are as close to original scale to a memory chip that I could create, but are modeled for 12x scale parts to fit together well. I've only included these files to aid modification and scaling. - 12xScale files will fit on a 300x300 print bed. - YMMV for scales smaller than 12x (1200%) ## Changes I've made to the model since the photo was taken: - Slightly Enlarged the slots on the IC for the pins to interface into so sanding of the head (fattest part) of the pins should no longer be needed. - Thinned the "iron-on" text to print as a single 0.2mm layer to make text appear less blobby when ironed on. ## iron-on (or glue-down) text: - Put down a single sheet of aluminum foil down on your print bed - Fix the corners down with binder clips, pulling the foil tight - Apply glue stick to the foil - Double check that the foil will not interfere with the movement of the printer and will not come into contact with homing sensors - Print onto the aluminum foil. - Trim excess, position lettering onto "IC_COFFIN_LID" print, cover with a paper towel, and use an iron (I set mine to maximum heat) to soften the text until it adheres to the main "IC" body. CAUTION: Be very self-aware of how the iron is positioned to avoid deforming prints. NOTE: Glue stick residue will be left behind. TIP: See Prusa's iron-on t-shirt tutorial for helpful details ## Untested files: The stencil file is untested. The intent is for the pieces of the stencil to be hot-glued into place, paint to be applied, and then the stencil to be removed.
