Round Eye Glasses Nose Piece

thingiverse

This is my first thing upload. It is a round eye glasses nose piece design. I designed this with SolidWorks. The thing is very small, please take a look at the pictures showing comparison with a dime besides it. In fact, the thing is so small that it is hard to take pictures of it, especially that I printed it with clear PLA filament. Design notes: Note that the nose piece holders on the eye glasses DO NOT have screws to hold the nose pieces. The holders are ditched in to clamp on to the nose pieces in place. My design included a small hole for the ditches to clamp on to, so the nose piece move up and down freely once fitted on to the ditches. The nose piece is 0.3 inches in diameter, 0.2 inches total height, and the thickness to insert to the holder is 0.055 inches. Instructions I printed this thing using clear PLA. Since the thing is so small, I did not even turn on the heated bed, and I printed directly on the blue tape. Maybe it was the PLA material, I used 175C on the nozzle. The filament did not want to stick to the bed at higher temperatures.
