<p>Recently I realised, that my girlfriend had some Floppy Disk left over. Hence there is no real usecase for those historic storage media anymore, I decided to be a little bit creative and thought about, how to recycle those Floppy Disks, which where a relic of my childhood and youth. What came out was this desktop pencil / pen / writing equipment holder or organiser.<br/> As I finished my work I realised, that others had the same Idea. But none of them used a triangle as the base. So I decided to publish my things here on Thingiverse.</p> <p>For the top I first build a complete surrounding cover (already included in the download list). But then I realised that that would cover to much of the Floppy Disk, what would destroy their unique look.<br/> That's why I build tiny edge connectors. I used liquid adhesive to stick the connectors and disks together. I also use liquid glue to fix the disks on the ground plate.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>Category: Office Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong> Prusa</p> <p><strong>Printer:</strong> <a href="http://amzn.to/2DxjZlB">i3 MK2S</a></p> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong> No</p> <p><strong>Supports:</strong> Yes</p> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong> 0,10 mm</p> <p><strong>Infill:</strong> 20%</p> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> Prusa PLA black<br/> <strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>Supports only for edge connectors</p> <h3> How I Designed This</h3> <p>I used FreeCAD to design this thing.<br/> I also used Blender to have a better look on the models hence FreeCAD has no good 3D preview mode where I can freely move and rotate the objects in the 3D space.<br/> All project files are included in the download list.</p> <p><strong>Base plate</strong></p> <p><strong>Alternative top surrounding from top</strong></p> <p><strong>Alternative top surrounding from bottom</strong></p> <p><strong>Edge connector</strong></p> <p><strong>Blender view</strong></p> <p><strong>Blender view</strong></p>
