Description

I was tired of everyone telling me to buy a plunger from the hardware store. This is much nicer looking and feeling that a brown plunger. The print profile I have loaded is designed for quality over speed. I have it tuned in pretty good but you should also go over the speed and any other items you find works for your TPU. HIGHLY recommend keeping the following settings though: Concentric top/bottom, Use .12 or smaller layers(this really makes it feel smooth in your hand when using it), Keep the 6 walls because when it starts to get to the 45 degree and greater overhangs it keeps the outer wall smooth., Print inside walls first, and 50% infill may be slightly more than needed but it helps with the overhang support and the flexibility feels just right when using it.

 

Supports: Adjust your Z gap to try and help with the release of the supports. Supports are needed and are pretty tough to remove. the underside will not be perfect because I didn't feel the need to design a perfect underside here. I remove the supports on 5 of these by peeling around evenly and going in circles until either I get stuck or i finish. If i get stuck i grab my pliers and finish pulling it loose. Use a heat gun on the bottom to melt all the stringing and clean it up (as much as possible).

 

A note on the design: I made the finger grip slightly on the large size to fit all finger holding types. Also I added a few small holes around the sides near the bottom. This stops the problem of the mute fitting to perfectly and actually sealing off all airflow and messing up your playing. It lets out just enough air to be able to play through when fully closed. Everyone in my big band loves them and the feel, and I will probably end up having to make some for the bones soon.

 

as always leave a rate if you want and let me know what you think
