Low Polygon Mask - Replicator Printable
Derived from
Description
Well, stop fretting and use OpenSCAD to trim some tiny edges off!
2013-01-01: At the last minute I slapped together and printed a stick that worked quite well as a handle (once a little silver duct tape was added on the inside of the mask). It's not perfect, but for being a ten-minute design it worked very well!
2013-01-02: Fixed the gap in the CC license-chain by switching from CC0 to CC-BY-NC-SA.
Instructions
To get some subtle transparency-effects, I used a second shell and 10% hexagonal infill with ultimachine-silver. It looks opaque when front-lit, but even a dim back-light displays the infill pattern.

This will make it easier to print, but perhaps I was just lucky, but I printed the original mask on my Replicator. The Replicator's print area is larger than the build platform, and trick )IMO) was to shift it forward so that the base of the chin is very close to the front edge. While the front and back of the mask are outside of the rectangle of the build platform, the extruder has some extra space that it can move in, so it printed fine. At least, mine did.
154mm x 150mm x 150mm going to print now. Just folded one of these last week, looking forward to printing! Thanks!
Interesting. I was using the Replicator 1 shop-page (http://store.makerbot.com/repl... to set my clipping volume. That page says:
Build envelope 225 x 145 x 150 mm | 8.9 x 5.7 x 5.9 in
Even with an envelope of 225x150x150, some clipping is required on the back and top to make the whole thing fit.
Or am I misinterpreting what you meant? Are you saying this model is 154x150x150? If so, I'm confused since it's being intersected with a 200x145x150 cube in clipping.scad.

We were going to make our design better for many printers and make it a bit easier to print but we have not had the time to do so.

No worries! It was easy to trim the little bit off to keep RepG from yelling at me. :)
