So this is for a more popular team which I’ve been told isn’t doing so well this year. And when I said “what’s new”, I was told " you know where you can go".

For those who asked last time this is all printed in parts and assembled together in one print like so

PXL_20231209_212831566

Files are again available on Printables and Thingiverse though this model is bigger. I shrank it down in the x and y in my slicer by 50% for these prints

    Just curious, when making this how much tolerance did you account for? I want to make some for baseball teams, but wasn’t sure how much to add.

      You can test this with a simple set of pins and a hollown tube to fit. In anything that lets you define parameters, just set the pins to something like [diameter] - .01x[1, 2,3,4, etc]

      The other tip here is to make the parts slightly trapezoidal in cross section, so they start easy and only really pressfit tightly the last bit,

      Edit: it’s different for every printer, even printers of the same brand. It depends a lot on how well tuned it is, and just what the total dimensional consistency is between prints.
