Description

This is a 9/16 in. wrench made in Sketchup and printed with a MakerBot Replicator. I laser-engraved the surface after printing and gave it to my dad. Couldn't think of a thing that we had passed back and forth more times than this.

Instructions

Download, print with a 50% in-fill and support structure.

Did you try to use it? Or is it purely decorative?

Any chance you could post the Sketchup file for this?

Here you go. I found the original in the wild and edited it in Sketchup to be able to print it.

I tried printing this, but after it lays down a few layers of the open ended side of the wrench it then tries printing the rest. Problem is that the rest is up a few layers and it just prints that in air, which does not work.

I know how to set 50% in-fill so I guess the big question is: how do I activate âsupport structureâ? Iâm assuming this is the key element Iâm missing. I'm using Pronterface with slicer.

I used ReplicatorG (0034 though I suspect this option hasn't changed much) and selected "External support" in the "Use support material" drop-down in the Generate Gcode dialog box. Not sure if you have that option?
