Description

I designed this to be printed without support and as one piece.

It will take about 1kg of plastic and over 24 hours to print. But I think this is a super nice practical print to have at home or in the garden or when camping etc…

Made a small update to my print-in-place portable stool. I also made an instruction video on how to open it up the correct way without breaking it or cutting it open.

Perfect print to use up all those leftover spools with just a few grams of filament on.

The weight limit is not tested to its full potential.

My weight is 85kg and a friend of my have tested it and his weight is 90kg. No problem at all. I guess it will be able to withstand 120-150kg if you sit perfectly in the center and don't wiggle on it . It's a print-at-your-own-risk thing

Rekommended printsettings:

0.4 nozzle

4 Parimiters

0.16 layer height

15-20% infill gyroid

5 top/bottom layers

Support yes : Snug Support from build plate

Print mode: Arachne

EDIT: 231003

More pegs for more weight support.

0.1mm z offset for rings. this will make them tighter at first when printing making for easier and successful print. But more force when using the stool the first time is needed.

EDIT: 231005
Added an extra chamfer on the inside ring to be able to take more force when disassembling the first time.

EDIT: 231022
Larger holes on the top and bottom part for larger fingers :)

Removed support for holes, new design can now use regular snug support for the top holes

EDIT: 231203
After requests, I have now made a smaller kids version. This will also fit the A1 mini printbed size.

Very cool print, especially if you have some leftover filament and spools that you need to get rid of :) Printed nicely, was rather easy to pull apart the first time. It seems that there was one element that was stuck, so a small rong broke off. It's still useable, so I'm happy :)

Wow nice print :) Thank you for sharing the pictures

@tripahermann

how did you get the different colors with the ams. I have tried to print using my spools that are almost out so it would switch to a new one but it doesn't.

@6197zvj

Replying to @tripahermann :

Did you set the different spools as the same material type and color in the "device" tab?

@ACherryontop

Absolutely brilliant design! Thank you!

The designer has replied

@lindh3d

Nice work! Love the colors also! What settings did you print this with?

@ACherryontop

I used your recommended settings: .4 nozzle .16 later height 5 top layers 5 bottom layers 15% infill Banbu X1 carbon

0.6mm nozzle, 0.18mm layer, 3 walls, 30% infill

If only there was a way to get it started. After getting it open the rest of it went pretty smooth. Also the top ring wasn't stuck to the top well enough to survive the forces of trying to get it open. I can still sit on it, but it isn't the pretty print I can show off with my 3d.printing friends. It tool 1.5 days on my Bambu X1C and probably 2/3 of a spool of PETG. I tried with ABS but it didn't make 6 layers before it failed. I only had a .4 nozzle so I may get a .6 nozzle and try again. I also used the .6 nozzle setting because it changed a lot of settings and I didn't know which ones to keep. Maybe I will start it before I go on vacation for a week.

@lindh3d

Hello James and thank you for sharing the print and your experience. The problem is that the uploaded print file is not what I recommend as the designer for this. 0.4 mm nozzle with 0.16 layer height and 4 wall loops and 5 top and bottom layers with 20% infill will do the trick.

Looks cool at least. Lets see if it works

The designer has replied

@3DJupp

Please follow the instructions for the removal of the support. I recommend also to use a debuting tool for small overhangs on the top etc.

@user_1113871977

Replying to @3DJupp :

Thanks for the hint. Support removal was ok... lets see when im finally able to open it.

@lindh3d

26h later and it's working great. Little tricky at first to disassembled but onse you have one segment opened you can easy use pliers to pull each section apart.

@sylvaincoam

hello guys is it normal that during the printing some parts move?

@Shiler3dprints

no, nothing should move during printing. if it does, it's lost bed adhesion.

It looks like it will be a pain to open

@Simply3Dprintin

The print profile is no longer public

The printer had problems with abrasion but I am still trying to print it successfully.

The designer has replied

@3DJupp

not good. have you tried to use other Filament/s? Some, for sure use plastic waste, or Filament samples, which do look great, but night have some issues during print.

@Simply3Dprintin

I am going to retry it, I got some matte PLA that I am going to print it in. But right now it is printing some other stuff. I will try it again once it is done.

Replying to @Simply3Dprintin :

sure, I had printed my first one using spare material, different PLAs, couple of years old. wouldn't recommend to do so :/ Personally I would use one more or less ,better PLA‘ like the strong series, xPLA etc.

Support is NEEDED, tried at first with it, as it was and it just does the lid circles in mid air then tries to attach to it. Ended up saving the print by... Magic... tried painters tape curled sticky out and had it print on that, but found that once I had something glue stick helped bridge the gaps. In the end I went from glue stick to glue gun, filled in the holes that were dropping out and it printed on that fine. Its ugly but with pausing and throwing things at it i was able to save it. Overall I made a copy with supports in the center and anti supports everywhere else and that should come out better. Last few minutes of printing this one right now.... Also printed mine in .4 nozzle but i did .12 layer height reduced speed by 30%, mainly so i can playt with sport and luda. but also for slower where i needed it like overhangs. I also use a file when printing to flatten out spots for better layer adhesion. bed temp 55, but after first layer i drop to 45 to prevent warping. PLA silk.

@lindh3d

Woooow good save. Yes you are absolutely right. It needs support. I did an update to the model where I redesigned it and the new updated model needs supports. I will add this information to the description text also. I thought it is obvious when you slice it that it needs support.

@accelectronics1

Superb print thank you. Printed one at 100% and did one at 120% see pic. Also a useful way of using up all of those reels that only have a small amount of filament left.
