Description
This is the updated version of my previous “Research poster carrying tube”, now showcasing a nice, stylish Honeycomb pattern.
Modifications include:
- Obviously, the way-better visual aspect, showcasing a stylish honeycomb pattern that makes it stand out — trust me, I have attended a few conferences and poster sessions, and I have received compliments about it.
- Stronger assembly mechanism between center parts (threads instead of twist-and-lock mechanisms).
- Easier and faster open/close mechanism for top and base covers (twist-and-lock instead of absurdly long threads as in the previous version).
- A more resistant structure, mainly due to the fact that this version was designed with TPU material in mind, making it more resistant to falls.
- A flexible strap to make carrying it easier and more comfortable. You can choose from two lengths.
As the previous version of the poster carrying tube, this is an alternative to commercial, standard (boring) carrying tubes for research posters.
This version is specifically designed to store posters 40" wide (you can assemble a shorter version if you want by using fewer center pieces, but the pattern won't match in the connecting points).
The model shown in the photos consists of the following parts (as labeled in the print profile) from the bottom to top:
- “Base” x1
- “2” x1
- “3” x1
- “4” x1
- “Top” x1
- "Covers (Base and Top)” x1
- “Strap (short version ~1m)” x1 OR “Strap (long version ~1.3m)” x1
The print profile is set to use TPU, specifically Overture High Speed TPU, but any TPU filament brand should work.
For the strap, either one you choose, after removing the supports you will have to push quite hard the pins to break their slight joint from the rest of the body. This was made on purpose to ensure a tight lock when fixing it in place.
Happy printing/storing/transporting/presenting!
