Scrolling Memories for A1, X1 and P1

Finding the ideal Mother’s Day gift is often a challenge. The best gifts are usually the ones that money cannot buy. Memories and souvenirs fall into this category. This is the inspiration for this model.

The model is for a scrolling picture show with personal messages that is modelled in a book / Mother’s Day card format that you personalize with your own memories, souvenirs and messages.

Any Mother will appreciate the thoughts and personal touches that go into creating this.

Gathering pictures to creating the scrolling picture slide will be a fun family activity where you can relive fond memories. As a bonus, it will be further proof that buying a 3d printer was a brilliant idea.

The Model

The model also has front and back panels that you can paint and personalize with Bambu studios. I also included optional blank panels as well as panels with special words.

A few notes about the pictures and scrolling.

The model can hold and scroll around 15 pictures and possibly more depending on materials used to print and hold the pictures.

I have experimented with printed pictures and self-adhesive laminating film as well as regular paper that is scotch taped together.

I used pictures printed on special picture paper and 3 mil laminating film but this ended up being somewhat thick and caused some spring back due to thickness. I solved this issue by designing the shafts to close tolerances to prevent a spring back issue.

Printed pictures on plain paper that are taped together works best. I have not tried pictures printed on regular paper with 1.5 mil film but that should also work fine.

The height of the pictures should not exceed 4 ½ inches or about 110 mm.

3D Printing

The model is easy to assemble and there is an instruction gif.

I have included print profiles for the A1, X1 and P1.

I welcome any comments and suggestions about improving Scrolling Memories.

My designs

I enjoy creating 3d models that others can use and appreciate. It is a very fun pastime. I find it very rewarding to see my models downloaded and printed. I put lots of thought, time and effort to create each model print out multiple iterations to make sure it works just right.

If you liked my model and wish to encourage me please give it a like or a boost. If you wish you can also help me with my filament costs. Thank you.

Unfortunately this is more sculpting in blender which I do not do. Sorry about that.

Hello Darren, Thank you for your model. Could you please indicate the size (length) of the paper tape required to paste the photos? How do you get it to be driven by the rollers? normal paper slides around the rollers. Could you make a video of setting up the photo banner. Thank you so much, regards, Antoine

Hi Antoine, Sorry I dont really have a video and gifted the unit I made so cannot make one.. As indicated above, the lenght (not height) of the paper film will vary depending on thickness. If your film roll is thinner you can roll more around the roller. I glued my pictures on 3 mill self adhesive transparent film. The pictures were sandwiched in between the two film layers and my pictures were printed on photo paper (much thicker). I also inserted each end of the scroll in between the rollers (they are split for that reason) and taped each end to the rollers. I also tried using regular paper (each cut 4x6 inch) and simply tapped together to one another using clear packing tape. This worked best as it was thinner. I would also suggest that you scan and print the photos on regular thin paper instead of using photos on film paper. The reason for this is to avoid a spring back effect of the rollers as thick film and photos act like a spring. I am enclosing some pictures of the film assembly. Keep the height below 4 1/4 inch to be safe. Let me know if this helps. Regards Darren
