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

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

@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.

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.

I broke it trying to get it apart. also I downsized it to print it on the mini.

@lindh3d

There is now a smaller version that should fit the mini. It's kalled kids version.

@DaShark

I tried printing it on the p1p… it broke as well. I gave up on it.

design and print profile is like miracle. It prints without problem. I have used Strong PLA and final result is very durable. and an advise for future iterations : if the bottom cover printed in a seperate plate and made to connect to rest via snap fit or samething else it will be much easier to open it initially

@lindh3d

Nice print and well done getting it apart.

@user_3456740256

Hey, I would like to 3D print the twist and sit stool only with an Ender 3 S1 pro When I slice the part with supports from the build plate it starts printing in the air (illustrated on picture) can somebody help me to fix this?

The designer has replied

@lindh3d

That looks correct. You cant use support inside the frame. The design is made so taht the rings will support the overhang. You only need support for the holes. this is why support from plate only works.
