<p>This is a mixer that I made for&#xA0;<em>#TinkerMechanical</em>. It is a mini mixer that can be used to mix cooldrink or any other fluids and is a fun little project to do. It can even strr your coffee or tea when the shaft and mixer head is printed with nylon 680. This is a easy to print project and can be printed totally without supports. Make use of the photos and tinkercad link too see where all the parts need to go when building the mixer. All the parts pressure fit into each other and no glue is required. Depending on your printer and how &quot;tuned in&quot; it is you may have to sand some parts a little bit to make them fit perfectly. A good tool to use to make all the parts fit perfectly is a file. You can also use the file to make the holes bigger if needed. &#xA0;</p>
<p>All my friends so far were amazed by what a 3D printer can do and the possibilities that it can have after seeing this design.

Have Fun!

<p>I designed a top mounted spool holder to hold standard 1KG spools above the handle bar for the Printrbot Pro. I built up a PrintrBot Pro Adoptabot from Brook for a local robotics club and a high school (a beta unit without the TinyG Controller, ribbon cables, wiring, and other parts). To wire it I had to make a simple loom along the right hand side in place of the ribbon cable. Due to this the standard side bar mount spool holder would not have worked since the spool would have caught on the loom (also it didn&apos;t come with the bar in the donated parts). For a long time the Robotics club used one of my simple 608 bearing table rollers that are on Youmagine. But they wanted the additional desk space so I designed this roller to hold the spool above the handle bar. </p>

<p>The parts print without support, and there is no glue or bolts required. </p>

<p>As usual I have included the native Solidworks model, and then also exported X_T, STEP, Fusion360, and of course STL files. So mix, match, mod and play however you see fit.</p>

<p>__________________________________</p>
<p>Update 7/31/19: I&apos;m printing a benchmark at maximum z height right now. As soon as it&apos;s done I will install the lowrider mod on my mk3s and load up the custom firmware I just finished (https://drive.google.com/open?id=1CvUE573YDk-4MFuyfOQODluytIZ_yKcc). I will then print the same benchmark, maximized for the new build volume, tonight and upload pictures of the side-by-side first thing tomorrow. Note that the custom firmware includes linear advance 1.5, so it will require recalibration of linear advance 1.0 settings.</p>
<p>_________________________________<br>Update 7/31/19: Update: Modified Z-motor mounts have been uploaded to account for x-axis collisions created by the lower bed mount. This modification is still untested so use at your own risk. I am printing these brackets now and will be testing throughout the coming week.</p>
<p>__________________________________<br>Update 7/30/19: NOTICE: It has been reported that using this mod will result in multiple collisions, including a collision at the far left (home) position of the x-axis and another at the far right position of the x-axis. These collisions involve the fan duct (on the left) and the pinda (on the right). I am looking into a solution that will include modification of the z-motors mounting brackets. Until said solution is available I do not recommend that anyone install this mod. That being said, I&apos;ve printed all of the mounting brackets and plan to begin testing the mod within the week.</p>
<p>___________________________________<br>This mod is untested, so try at your own risk. All y-rod, motor and pulley mounts have been moved down by 14mm and modified to plane from the bottom of the front/rear extrusions, rather than the top. Custom firmware will be available in the future. This design will be modified (if necessary) for the mk2.5s full bear in the near future.</p>
<p>Note I have included an adjustable y-idler pulley with a 3D printed 20T pulley that utilizes two MR63ZZ L-630 bearings, as well as an m3x12 button-head screw. The standard pulley carriage from the original design (see remixes) should work for users that dont want to build the plastic 20T pulley and use the m3 screw.</p>

<div><p>This is yet another self-resetting mouse trap! The design is based around 3/4&quot; non-metallic conduit as the roller &quot;bar&quot; and 608 style bearings (skateboard / inline skates). A search for &quot; 608-2RS &quot; will yield the bearings used in this design. Because this is a parametric design, you are free to use other &quot;pipe&quot; sizes as well as bearings as long as you provide accurate dimensions!</p>
<p>The critical dimensions are highlighted with red in the design parameters &quot;spreadsheet&quot; in FreeCAD. All values can be edited.</p>
<p>Non-printed parts required:</p>
<ul><li>3/4&quot; non metallic conduit (approx 250mm or 10&quot;)</li>
<li>2 x 608-2RS bearings</li>
<li>5 gallon bucket</li>
<li>approximately 2L of RV / plumbing antifreeze</li>
</ul><p>The design was done in FreeCAD and as mentioned it is fully parametric. I have included the FreeCAD file so that you can modify the design to your heart&apos;s content. While the design is far from perfect, it is functional.</p>
<p>I am open to any suggestions as to how to improve the design work-flow in FreeCAD.</p></div>

Roller Mouse Trap

This is yet another self-resetting mouse trap! The design is based around 3/4" non-metallic conduit as the roller "bar" and 608 style bearings (skateboard / inline skates). A search for " 608-2RS " will yield the bearings used in this design. Because this is a parametric design, you are free to use other "pipe" sizes as well as bearings as long as you provide accurate dimensions!

The critical dimensions are highlighted with red in the design parameters "spreadsheet" in FreeCAD. All values can be edited.

Non-printed parts required:
<ul>
<li>3/4" non metallic conduit (approx 250mm or 10")</li>
<li>2 x 608-2RS bearings</li>
<li>5 gallon bucket</li>
<li>approximately 2L of RV / plumbing antifreeze</li>
</ul>


The design was done in FreeCAD and as mentioned it is fully parametric. I have included the FreeCAD file so that you can modify the design to your heart's content. While the design is far from perfect, it is functional.

I am open to any suggestions as to how to improve the design work-flow in FreeCAD.

Clip to help hold the door closed on a Flashforge creator pro

 The door on my Flashforge creator pro would never fully close on the left side so I made this clip to screw in and help keep it closed. You may want to flip the object so that the largest surface is lying down flat.
