Fully printable Sith holocron. Corners are mechanically linked so they spin together.
Assembly instructions:
- Print quantities as listed in the file name. I recommend using Prusaslicer's automatic painted supports for the gears.
- Install gear-2 in each of the 3 body corners (it slides right in)
- Press the 3x gold side triangles onto the 3x gear-2
- Orient gold side triangles so they sit flat on the ground
- Install gear-1 into the top body half (it slides in)
- Press the gold top triangle onto gear-1
- Make sure your corners are still aligned! Press the body corners together, then press the top triangle onto the corners to link gears
- Install the bottom body flat to tie the body together
- Spin the top triangle. You may need to run your gears in a little, but everything should spin together. If not, peel the body open and adjust or add grease
- Glue the red body and top triangle windows on for a splash of color
You can get some neat translucent effects by using a color swap after 1 or 2 layers on the windows. Play around and have fun.
The multi-color 3mf file is for people who have a multi-color system. It is not necessary to build a holocron.
