Description

Source link : https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1803253 Print Settings Printer: Maker Select i3 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: .15 Infill: 20% Notes: Update Notes: 10/27 added tongue and groove design added U-snaps and holes to create an optional "Glueless" fit added optional separate files for dual printers and customizations: a. "DNA_Helix_Pencil_Holder_06PartA.stl" - this is the bottom part b. "DNA_Helix_Pencil_Holder_06PartB.stl" - this is the top part c. "DNA_Helix_Pencil_Holder_Extension_01.stl" - this is an optional extension (so far untested). Put this part in the middle and add 8 pencils (or 8 DNA letter pairs). d. "DNA_Helix_Pencil_Holder_Optional_U_Snaps01" - this is a u shaped pressure fit snap that fits on the outside of the Helix into the two 4mm holes at the middle. (I'll add a picture to clear up any confusion). It should also be able to bond the optional extension. 10/4 Added a Smoother version fixed slic3r issue Added a tall version (215mm tall) for those with printers that can print that high. You probably need supports for the top of the design. If you get a successful print with the tall STL file, let us know the settings you used so I can post it here. For those like me with normal sized printers - use the "DNA_Helix_Pencil_Holder_Full_06.stl" file and follow instructions above. Post-Printing Use Snaps or Super glue bottom of helix to top of helix. (or use alternative bonding method).
