Self Rescue Ice Spikes
Print Profile(1)
Bill of Materials
- 10mm x 3mm neodymium magnets x 8: Uses 8 neodymium magnets. 4 of them are built into the print, the other 4 are used to hold the others in place, and will be retrieved after the model is finished.. If you're using a non-magnetic print head, you won't need the extra 4 magnets.
- 4" 20D nails x 2: These are pretty common nails. Can be found at any hardware store, walmart, or anywhere nails are sold.
Description
This model is for a set of self-rescue ice spikes or ice claws and is designed to include magnets and spikes in the printing process.
I used 10mm x 3mm magnets, and a standard 4" 20D nail. I got a box of magnets from Amazon, and the nails can be found anywhere nails are sold.
Print the supports in PLA and the handles in PETG HF for best results. This will ensure that the supports don't impact the surface on the bottom of the handle.
The custom support holds the model off your build plate enough to allow insertion of the 4" nail toward the end of the print.
There are two pause points in the print. The first is when you insert the magnets. 2 magnets go into the larger holes in the model. If you're using a steel print head, you must also add a magnet underneath the model in the provided notches in the support. In my experience, this 2nd magnet has been sufficient to hold the embedded one in place, so the print head doesn't pick it up.
The 2nd pause point is when the nails should be inserted.
