There’s potentially a local 3d printing service that could do it for you! You could also try to build a latch out of wood and a door hinge, that may be an option for you as well!

Fantastic video, thank you! I subscribed. I don't know if the function was available at the time you recorded this, but now when printing with the X1C, you can pause it in the phone app, and pick any of the objects that have started printing, and tell it to cancel whatever ones you pick. Then you can keep printing the other models right where they left off. It's really helpful for those moments. If you have not gotten one yet, I also recommend getting a better build plate than the one that came with the printer. Unless of course you are happy with it. I prefer the ones that don't require glue stick to work. Better bottom surface finish, and less to deal with. Now to go watch some more of your videos.
@engineer3dАй бұрын
Yes there have been a lot of new possibilities since this video! Crazy how fast things advance it’s super cool! Totally agree a new build plate is high on my list! I’ve got a project I’m working on that will require a nicer bottom surface finish
@tonyk6802 ай бұрын
would you have any practical applications for this?
@engineer3d2 ай бұрын
A few applications for this type of design: It’s really good for parts that you want to have motion but don’t want to come apart, 3D printing allows you to manufacture that way which you wouldn’t be able to do using traditional methods. Another application would be if you were to make a design like this in larger quantities it would eliminate the labor hours needed to assemble the parts. Hope this helps!

Great and helpful video. A question i have is how would i then make the socket stay in place for the one printed as one
@engineer3d3 ай бұрын
To make it stay in place during printing ensure there is minimal separation between the “socket” and the “ball” The ball should be designed within the socket but have a gap large enough for about 1 layer line of a 3D printer (approximately 0.1 - 0.2mm) depending on your printer settings

@engineer3d4 ай бұрын
If you’re looking for the ball joints to lock in place more you’d need to make the tolerances much tighter. Probably only the difference of about 1-2 print lines between the perimeter of the socket and the ball. That might allow you to make it hold more weight. Will for sure involve some trial and error

There’s not a standard method I’ve been able to find. It would be nice if there was a build in option on slicers to “stack” but for now it’s just very manual. One possibility to make it a little easier is If you stacked them on top of another in the design software and then exported as a single part it would make it much easier to add supports rather than have to manually stack in the slicer.

You could have the eyes/mouth portion coming from a LCD screen. You could also have multiple facial expressions on different parts of the head so if you want to change expression you can rotate the head, kinda like some Lego characters have. Hope some of these ideas are helpful

@engineer3d9 ай бұрын
The widest part of the ball (in this design) is 12.5mm. The socket that it fits into is a circle of diameter 14mm where the opening is 12mm. If you want to be able to remove the socket after printing an opening diameter of 12.6mm would probably work well. You may want to adjust this based on your printer settings but I found that to work quite well.

I put these together fairly quickly so I don’t have drawings of this specific model. What I can say is that as long as the ball joint is approximately 0.5-1mm smaller than the socket and the distance between the peak of the ball joint and socket is 0.1-0.15mm your design should function well!
