prusaprinters

<p>This is a geared version of the model of the asteroid Psyche!</p> <p>Video of it in action here: <a href="https://youtu.be/Rr6EFCilcxE">https://youtu.be/Rr6EFCilcxE</a></p> <p>Derived from Emmett Lalish's outstanding <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:243278">Three Heart Gears</a>.</p> <h3> What's in the box:</h3> <h3>Psyche_Gears_All_Parts_Scaled.stl</h3> <p>This is an arranged printable model with all parts required. For a quick print, this is probably what you are looking for. Scale up/down as needed for your printer, although this size is probably at the lower end of what could be printed.</p> <h3>Psyche_Gears.scad</h3> <p>The OpenSCAD code in case you want to tweak or revise (NB: You must have Psyche_10k_100mm.stl in the same folder for this to work!)</p> <h3>Psyche_Gears_Pin.stl</h3> <p><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:213310">Parametric snap pins</a> (8 required)</p> <h3>Psyche_Gears.stl</h3> <p>The assembled model. Included for reference, as building this without it would be extremely tricky!</p> <h3>Psyche_10k_100mm.stl</h3> <p>A new low-poly version of the original Psyche model with only 10k triangles to keep OpenSCAD rendering times sane.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>Licence: Creative Commons - Attribution - Share Alike Category: Physics &amp; Astronomy 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> No</p> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong> .2mm</p> <p><strong>Infill:</strong> 15%</p> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> Prusament PLA Silver<br/> <strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>As Psyche is thought to be mostly made of iron-nickel, a silvery metallic filament is advised!</p>
