75%, 1 plate, 0.2mm layer, 2 walls, 15% infill, by object

The overall design was great and printed very smoothly with minimal filament waste even with the colour changes. However, even after greasing it and reassembling it multiple times, I couldn't get it to perform like the one shown in the video in the description. I don't know if this was because of the accuracy of my printer or if I was pressing the parts to tightly, but didn't get the outcome I expected. However the design is still great and the problem is probably with my end. Might be filament.

@AbyssalCactus

it’s cause the profile ur using is 75% size and the clearances are not adjusted accordingly

The print profile is no longer public

Worked really great just spend a little slow. Do you have any idea how to fix that and then spin for long

@WeEatSandYum

Me again or is it just a wear and tear part that gets better when you use

@Premolar1975

I uploaded a new cage file, enlarged to 101%, the wheels spin more freely, try the new cage

So easy to print and put together. Perfectly smooth immediately. I can’t look at it without wanting to play with it for a moment. Thank you!!! Bambu PLA Sparkle Black and Generic color changing PLA.

At first it was too tight even despite my efforts to turn it a lot to try to get it a bit smoother, but then I read in the comments about printing the cage parts at 101% size and that extra space was all that was needed to get this to turn smoothly! Thanks

Ahh, hadn't run into that myself, but glad that fixed it! I do remember it took some "breaking in" to get it to be smooth.

Where the seams were on the pins I had small peaks . Once I took these off with a file then it all ran lovely.

Interesting. This was not at all the experience I had. Could be something specific to the material though. What did you print each color/part in? We should perhaps note this here for posterity.

@Studio67

Replying to @Ridokilos :

Hi both colours were printed in PLA . Bambu sparkle for the gears and Bambu basic for the cage.

@Studio67

Replying to @Ridokilos :

@Ridokilos another point it was the 125% version. I have just tried the 75% version and it locks up on the gears . I think the gears don’t respond well to scaling down but benifit from scaling up … which would make sense.

why’s it so small

@ayan4m1

It uh, looks pretty? I printed in black PETG and green PLA with your first print profile on an X1C with a nearly new nozzle, the gears are completely bound up and nothing moves freely at all. The shafts seem to be a bit thick for the three ring gears, so they don't want to spin.

@Premolar1975

Try changing the scale of the cage in the slicer to 101% in all axes, this should free up the parts

@HenFam

Did you use an A1 mini

@ayan4m1

Replying to @HenFam :

Says X1C right there in my original comment

@Krio77

Superb model! very impressive. Printed at 125% in PLA Silk for the gears and PETG for the frame. The different parts were glued with superglue and I added a spray of Silicone Lubricant to facilitate the rotation of the parts

did you print the frame and gears on 2 separate plates? if you used one, what nozzle did you use? my PETG has been giving me issues. thanks.

@Krio77

Replying to @halojumper70 :

petg and pla on separates plates with a 0.4 nozzle. no problem ! 😉

really loved this file, no waste and someone who comes from a engineering background love the simple form factor that makes a great tool. Need to reprint the thumb screws as I don't like the white, but that was not the maker fault but my own.

Nice!

@awsomeprints

what baseplate is that?
