Description
This is a parametric generator of dowel pins with various polygon profiles that can be printed horizontally for increased strength.
The following parameters can be configured:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| General: | |
| Length | Total length including bevels |
| Diameter | Circumscribed circle diameter |
| Bevel | Whether to bevel both pin ends, only one or none |
| Polygon | Pin profile from triangle to octagon |
| Measure | Display real-time polygon and side measurements |
| Advanced: | |
| Circumradius | Circumscribed circle radius |
| Inradius | Inscribed circle radius |
| Side | Polygon side length |
| BevelHeight | Height of bevel. The actual height will vary depending on specified bevel angle |
| BevelAngle | Angle of bevel made with the vertical axis |
| Rounding | Radius for rounding corners |
| Nozzle | Diameter of the nozzle is used to compute the minimum side length |
Notes:
- Diameter will be computed considering the first non-zero parameter in the following order: Diameter, Circumradius, Inradius or Side. If all are equal to zero, then Diameter will be computed given a side length of 1.2 mm or 1.6 mm (0.2-0.6 or 0.8 nozzle), ignoring rounding radius.
- The print profile is for demonstration purposes. However, because they have no bevels and rounded corners, the pins on the plates 1 - 3 can be scaled (without uniform scale) to meet your specific requirements for length (Y axis) and diameter (X and Z axis). For adjusting pins with bevels and/or rounded corners (plate 4), please regenerate them with the desired measurements.
- Please take into account your specific case, machine and print settings (measurements, tolerances, shrinkage etc.).
- Clean the build plate, use glue and/or configure brim ears to improve bed adhesion, like shown in the print profile, especially when generating longer pins, with small diameter or a greater number of sides or any combination of these factors.
