PIRANHAZ ABS

thingiverse

A slim version of the PIRANHAZ (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1734347) to be printed with ABS. I cut the thing in two pieces, printed them both and then glued them together. This can be done with any program that can edit STL files, e.g. Blender, MeshMixer or any other program. I did it with IceSL that is similar to OpenSCAD but the scripting language is lua and all objects are rendered in realtime. I didn't include any STL as the license of the PIRANHAZ thing doesn't allow the redistribution of remixes. To make sure you remember this I selected the same license here. The attached lua file can be opend in IceSL, but you'll have to adjust the path to the original thing (drag and drop it into the text editor and you'll have the path). This script takes a few slices of the original thing, and puts them together to a very slim piranha (2.6mm, the original has 9mm). The bite force of this slim model is moderate. If you need more force simply make it thicker. The STL can be exported and sliced with your favorite slicer, theres no need to use the internal slicer of IceSL. Print Settings Printer: Qidi Avatar IV Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm layer height Infill: 100% Post-Printing Cleanup task if necessary: -Most likely the levers did glue partially to the body (due to the very thin design). It should be possible to break them free without much effort using a small screwdriver or knife. Then you should have two working parts. Gluing the two parts together: -Use any appropriate glue. I always use acetone (read and follow the safety instructions) to ABS. Apply a very thin film to each part and then put the parts together. (Acetone dissolves ABS, don't use too much. If you don't have experience with the glue try it on some spare material, just to make sure that you know how to apply the appropriate amount of glue.)
