Hey y'all! I decided to design an other dream catcher! This is my second attempt at designing something with articulated print in place links like this. I improved the link tolerances so it can print from 70.5% - 100% scale. That means this dream catcher is compatible with the A1-Mini(Profile available for download). The links in this one are much longer and allow the smaller catchers to dangle more than in my original. I'm really really happy with how this one turned out. Let me know what you think in the comments, please.
Here's the first dream catcher I designed if you are interested: https://makerworld.com/en/models/521421
I made a third one. You can find it here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/530117446942
This print is pretty straight forward with no assembly required. Just like any print in place model you've printed before. The links are fairly small so be gentle when removing from the plate. Letting it completely cool should eliminate the risk of a break. If you use the profile I'm posting with this, you'll be fine. Once its off the plate you can rotate the rings so that they fully extend down. If you use a gradient or co-extrusion filament like in the pictures you can play with the color direction of the rings.
There are profiles available for the full scale and small scale versions. Each is setup for silk or regular PLA. There are even A-1 Mini profiles.
ADVISORY: If you print with silk PLA there is a higher risk of the links breaking, especially during plate removal. Use of liquid adhesive prior to printing and allowing the plate to fully cool will help minimize this risk.
The 3MF's come with a STEP file already loaded on the plate. You can also download the STL version separately if you like.
For those not using a Bambu printer, I recommend the following settings:
0.4mm Nozzle
0.18mm Layers(0.2mm first layer)
3 Walls
6/5 Solid Top/Bottom Layers
10% Gyroid Infill (Infill Combination Enabled)
The rest is up to you.
