Arc Reactor 45 Record Adapter

If you love vinyl records and Marvel movies, you will enjoy this 3D printable model of a 45 record adapter with an Arc Reactor design. This adapter lets you play your 7 inch records with a larger hole on a standard record player. It also adds some flair to your music collection with a cool superhero gadget.

The model is designed to print in two colors using pause at height. The base is black and the top is a bright color of your choice. The Arc Reactor outline on the top gives it a nice contrast and detail. The model is 1.5 inches (38mm) around with a 9/32 inch (3,57mm) hole in the center.

To print this model, you will need a 3D printer that supports pause at height and dual extrusion. You can use any filament type and color that you like, but I recommend PLA for ease of printing and durability. You will also need some slicer software that can generate the gcode for your printer.

The model is easy to print and does not require any supports or rafts. You can adjust the layer height and infill according to your preferences, but I suggest using 0.2 mm layer height and 20% infill for good quality and strength. The print time should be around 15 minutes depending on your settings.

To print in two colors, you will need to pause the print at the right height and change the filament color. You can do this manually or use a plugin or script that automates the process for you. For example, if you use Cura as your slicer software, you can use the post-processing plugin to add a pause at height command at layer 10 (assuming you use 0.2 mm layer height). Then you can swap the filament color from black to your chosen bright color and resume the print.

Once the print is done, you can remove it from the bed and enjoy your new Arc Reactor record adapter. You can use it to play your favorite tunes or display it as a cool decoration.
