Description
Improved rev 1 |
Original model sized for Burts Bees sized tubes (approx. 67mm long by 16mm diameter) with some nice improvements:
- Model is a little sleeker near the keychain loop.
- Uses a little bit less material and prints a little faster.
- Engagement length on the tube is shorter to mark-up the tube labels less over time
- Same great retention on your keys, on a lanyard or backpack.
Added a second model sized for ChapStick sized tubes (approx. 65mm long x 15.5 mm diameter.) Same design, same improvements, specific fit for smaller tubes like this.
Print Recommendations | PETG material, 0.15mm layer thickness, 100% infill and 12 perimeters. No supports required. Orient as shown in the screenshot.
Gcode files include 2 different layer heights for optimized printing speed with smooth inclined surfaces. It uses 0.3mm layers from 0 - 4.1mm and 0.15 the rest of the build.
Note - Because of the way this model is built, PrusaSlicer may indicate that the model is “Sinking” when the bottom surface is flat on the bed. Don't be alarmed. Watch the first layer if you're concerned, as long as that prints well this is a non-issue. I have no problems printing these parts.
Hope you find it useful! Love to see pictures of great prints!
