Description

Summary

This design is a modular wall display for enamel pins. You can freely print and assemble any number of tile to form any shape and use it to display your collection of pins.
The different types of hook make it easy to attach to any type of wall. The tiles are hexagonal with 55mm between two opposite sides. They can accommodated enamel pins of corresponding size, using a single needle.

I total you will need one "hook tile", as many "standard tiles" as you want, one "hook" and about 3 times as many "joins" as you have tiles (the exact number will depend on your shape). You will also need up to 5 "join hook tile" to assemble the hook tile.

The tiles should be printed face down. If your printing bed has a nice surface you wont need any adhesion structure, if not a raft will help you achieve a homogeneous look. The parts are deigned to be printed with 0.4 line width and you will have issues if you use bigger ones, but it doesn't contain any fine details and it will print well using 0.3 or more layer height.

For mode details of the display fabrication steps you can look on Instructable:
https://www.instructables.com/Modular-3D-Printed-Enamel-Pin-Collection-Display/
And for a graphic illustration on the tiles assembly process here is a video youyube:

Edit: Following a suggestion in comments i added 3 types of tiles intended for big pins with multiple needles. "Tile to pierce" doesn't contain any holes, but just a flat surface you can pierce using a small drill specifically for your pin. "Tile small mesh" and "Tile big mesh" contain an array oh holes adapted for any pin, but the holes will be apparent if the pin is too small to hide it. Please give feedback and send me a picture if you use those models.

Edit #2: I've added two files: A "join slim" that is just a version on the join with larger tolerance if your printer prints bigger than it should and a "hook markless" that uses the small nails of the so called "markless" nails as shown in the images.

Edit #3: Pong (https://makerworld.com/en/@pong) designed feets for the display. If you prefer to leave it standing on a table instead of fixed to a wall, just insert those feets inside the dovetail grooves. The STL file corresponding to this model is called “Enamel Pin Feet”

If you feel like it you can boost this model. If will help others to discover it and give me some credit to buy filament.

Love this print! I didn't want to mount it on the wall so I created little feet that slide in on the bottom. If you are okay with it I'll upload the print file!

Good idea, of course its good to share your leg model. You should do a remix. Alternatively, if you want you can send me the STL to add to this post. Either way i will add a reference to it in the description.

It is, just go to download STL and search for “Enamel Pin Feet”

These are really super! I’m printing with a rainbow filament, and selecting to print by object so each block has a different color, and it’s coming out great! Can’t wait to have them all printed and on my wall :) edited to add: I printed a bed full of the connectors in a neutral color, so I don’t need to think about them for a while!

Loved this. My pins are not a center hole pin but was able to just push them through the plastic and make their own spot to center it. Pins are from Savi's workshop lightsaber build experience.

Do you have the "Tile to pierce" "Tile small mesh" and "Tile big mesh" files posted in Maker World?

yes, all the files are here, just choose "Download STL/CAD files" and select the ones you want in the list and add them to the print profile in the Bambu studio.

Personally I had to scale up the connector pieces by 102% but maybe that's just my printer. Using P1S and Bambu Matte filament. Otherwise the connectors were too loose, but at 102 they fit nice and tight but still easy enough to fit them in.
