Sketch of Screwdriver
Off to the left is a picture of what the finished sonic screwdriver should look like. Here’s a picture of the parts I’ve designed so far. Assembled properly, these parts should be able to be assembled into the lower half of the sonic screwdriver.
I’ve arranged the parts so that they have a less than 60mm x 60mm footprint on the build platform. I would really like it if the final product could be printed all on one build plate and assembled without tools or additional non-printed pieces.
After my recent design-print fail, I’m going back to the drawing board (slightly)1 wiser. If nothing else, I like to think what I have so far is pretty neat. 2
Oooo I’m getting excited.
[...] I’m printing an object with a 0.5mm thickness, chances are the very first time there’s a slight overhang it will go pear shaped. When the [...]
