Description

I tried many times to print thing:19304 (in PLA) however the outcomes were disappointing. The nipples & divots for the axes were too small, so the concentric didn't stay together. I changed the whosawhatsis' original OpenSCAD script to increase the size of both nipples & divots. If anything, they are a bit too big however this is nothing an xacto knife couldn't take care of...

The SCAD file is close, but not the exact one used to produce the STL. I once again forgot to save my updated file in OpenSCAD.

Instructions

Print, then turn every other stage 90 degrees and snap them into place.

What's the best strategy for printing these big vertical circles? Do you use support material? Do you align the support stuff with the holes or is another angle easier to trim out?

Fabulous conversion of the model to PLA - cubes just snapped into place. Many thanks - now my favorite print. 22hrs, 'high' on Rep2, 130g.
