Hard to get last pieces of tissue paper? Never happen again Tissue papers Always On Top now!
A plate and a set of spings is added to the tissue box, so tissue papers will come up close to the lid, instead of droping back to the box and hard to get.
I am by no means the first to have this idea, but I didn't see anyone who uploaded any 3D printed sping tissue box designs, so I do it.
Features:
Fully 3D printed, no other components needed
Only sping components need supports
PETG@@0.2mm layer height 15% infill tested, available to use it
About springs:
If you seek PERFECT PRACTICALITY, metal springs are perfect choices obviously. And you can just ignore all the hints listed below
I'm using PETG with 0.2mm Standard @BBL P1P, choosing a 3.5mm wire diameter spring model, it works perfectly
Each type of filament has different mechanical property, influenced even by the brand, which means I can not give you a formula to choose one, you need some tests
I don't recommend PLA filament, which is often fragile, PLA-silk even more
Spring model named by rule of WD_X(_Y), e.g. WD_2_5 for 2.5mm wire diameter spring model
I can not guarantee the elasticity of the spring can keep for long time, 1 month? 1 year? 10years? I just don't know, please be advise
You'll need a good tuned 3D printer with good part cooling, because of these spring overhang wall features
If your printer just don't work, try to reduce layer height to 0.08mm will solve the overhang wall problem, nearly delete all these features, and will definitely increase the time you need to print.
Because of the low stiffness of spring parts (that's why it's called SPRING), I highly recommend you to manually add tree-style supports each 120° or less degrees to prevent the shaking.
If no supports at all, I 100% guarantee you a spaghetti
Smaller WD means harder to print, less stiffness and need more supports
