Description
— Link to my other design: Half Rim Sunglasses —
Features:
- Designed to use Oakley Gascan lenses
- Printed to lens & face curvature, no need for inexact heated frame bending
- Print in place hinges make for simple one piece print with no frame assembly required
- STL file available with and without built-in supports
- Simply twist hinges to free them up after printing
- Built-in supports leave a one layer gap (with 0.1mm layers) for easy removal
- Oakley Gascan lenses pop in easily and stay in place
Print Settings:
- Orientation: Print sunglasses upside down with the top in contact with the build plate
- Print with 100% infill (about 29g of filament total)
- 0.1mm layer height if using file with built-in supports
STL File Versions of Sunglasses Frame:
- No supports
- Built-in brow & bottom-frame supports designed for easy removal when printed with 0.1mm layer height
Lenses:
Oakley Gascan replacement lenses are available on the internet for around $10 or even less
Other Information:
- I have printed all my test frames in PLA, but a more temperature resistant material is probably a good idea if you are going to leave them in a hot car
- Hinges are reasonably robust but will not stand up to abuse
