I am really happy that all this is fully printable so I don’t have to buy or find springs or screws, and the mechanism is really smart

Great design! I should immediately make one)

Pretty impressive right here!!!

@darrenconway8117 3 ай бұрын

Exactly what I was looking for. Most 3D printable counters don't have a reset feature. This one does.

You could also just use a sharpie or some kind of permanent marker to paint the digits. Amazing video!

printed at 200% size. great counter to help me sort 100's of lithium cells

Great video! Looks very well designed. I'll definitely make one!

This is truly an amazing mechanism (mainly because no hardware parts and using a lever). I wonder if its possible to add a second lever to subtract 1 from the total.

@itsonmm 2 ай бұрын

Thanks! It might be possible to add a subtraction lever in the future. I could even add additional levers for the tens and hundreds digits. Maybe I'll explore that in a future project... I still need to meditate on that..

Hi, thanks for sharing looks awsome! I inmedeatly thought a second lever for 10 increaments would be a nice touch. Do You think this would be possible by modifying your design? I would love to give it a try, do you have CAD files somewhere available?

How should I print the one's, ten's and hundred's wheel regarding support because I am trying to print it and just wondering what way the creator intended it to be printed

@itsonmm 3 ай бұрын

I didn't include specific instructions on how to print the parts because each printer has its own strengths. However, to answer your specific question, I printed the parts with a raft and oriented them with the gear side facing up to ensure the best quality for the gear.

Can I just scale up a bit, in the slicer to have bigger size ? Any issues expected ?

@itsonmm 3 ай бұрын

Somehow I missed your comment. Scaling up in the slicer is possible, but watch out for tolerance issues and changes in spring flexibility. It might require some tweaking. Did you give it a try?

will resin work with this?

@itsonmm Ай бұрын

I'm not sure the springs will work with resin, they will be too brittle. Maybe only the wheels and the shell..

@noxoxe2938 3 ай бұрын

Do you have a model with more digits?

@itsonmm 3 ай бұрын

No...

@ContextG 2 ай бұрын

Is it possible to shrink the size of this and still have it be functional? I'm hoping I can shrink this by at least 30% in size and still have it function the same way

@itsonmm 2 ай бұрын

It depends on your printer's capabilities. The smallest feature is around 1mm, so you'll need to ensure that your printer can handle that level of detail. You can verify this in your slicer settings.

This is makes the other counters on thingverse and makerworld look like they were designed by morons. Actually , most 3d print designs are broken and seem to be designed by people who barely understand what they are doing (most makers have an idea and do 10% of the work and call it finished). It's a gross display of the average IQ flooding the market. But, this design is good, and makes sense. It does what it is supposed to do. It doesn't require random hardware no one has(why do makers always include a list of hardware they found in a spare drawer and act like everyone should have it?). And it comes with instructions on how to assemble it( Why do most makers not know how to assemble what they design??). It may seem like a low bar , but you vaulted way over it. It's amazing that average intelligence is now incredibly rare. Good job.

do you recomend any 3d printer that is cheap?

@darrenconway8117 3 ай бұрын

Ask 10 people, you will get 20 answers. Prusa Mk3s. Old model = cheaper than Mk4. Old model is still good for 3D printing.

Here's another answer: Bambu A1 Mini. Prints beautifully out of the box.

I have Anycubic Kobra 2 (not Neo!) and it works just fine.

@ericdoherty2456 3 ай бұрын

I printed this today. Did not work at all. It clicked a few times but more often than not, the spring doesn't click and the number rollers get jammed and the lever spring shot out and snapped my thumb. Anything I'm doing wrong?

@itsonmm 3 ай бұрын

You are doing everything right! I just need to do some little tweaks in this clutch spring and the lever switch, I think the problem is that the clutch spring is printed with different stiffness on different printers because it's thin. I will upload those parts and a better version of the zeroing knob in the next few days. I will update you when it's ready...

@@itsonmm wow thank you so much for taking the time to work on improving this. Im in the process of moving right now but once I get settled in to my new place I'll definitely give the new parts a try!
