Description

I designed this mechanical paradox for fun. I like mechanics, physics, engineering.... I think this model is a very good representation of the force of gravity. I am passionate about these models, by printing it you can show it to your children, for them it will seem something magical, almost a magic trick. I have created a print profile with all the settings already set. I printed with the a1 mini, I created this model so small that it can also be printed with small printing plates.

I printed the frame with the part where the cones slide facing downwards, in this way the surface will be nice and smooth, facilitating sliding and avoiding friction.
For the frame I also used brim, as the contact surface between the model and the platter is minimal. With brim you prevent the model from deforming during printing or even detaching
The two cones are joined by a cylinder that must be inserted inside, they must be printed with at least 80% filling, the greater weight will make the project work better. I used it as a gyriode plot.
I printed everything in petg, this material for me has a very good aesthetic result and is smoother than pla.

I hope you like it, if you print it I would appreciate a comment or a recension, thanks. :)

Due to the rails having such little contact and adhesion with the surface of the bed, the print dislodges from its spot on the bed and spaghetti failure ensues. I have attempted to print twice using the exact same settings in my X1C, and twice modifying the settings in hope of better adhesion. I also wiped my bed with 70% IPA after each print and even rinsed the bed with dish soap and hot water after my second attempt. First attempt was with Textured PEI and other attempts were with Smooth PEI.

slow it down or add a brim? Try scrubbing the textured pei sheet with soap, run it at 50% speed or just drop the initial layer speed, or add a brim to the print. Dry filament, use glue, use better filament...

Hi, thanks for the review. I printed it with and without brim and I didn't have any problems, have you tried using brim? to gokte I also use glue for greater adhesion. Or I lower the first layer so I can make it more pressed. What dish are you using?
