Remix of Complaint Button
Description
I Really Liked This Design, But The Tolerances Were A Little Tight For My Printer. I Started To Just Redo The Axles & Pins, But Then Got A Little Carried Away And Changed All But The Button. I Changed The 8Mm Axles To Be An 8Mm Bolt With 6Mm Threads On The End. By Doing This, I Did Have To Cut An Access Slot For The Hole Where The Woodpecker Gear Connects. This Is Not Noticeable When The Top Is Attached To The Bottom. Since I Had To Change The Top, I Decided To Round The Corners As Well & They Are Customizable In The Openscad Script. I Used A Radius Of 20Mm For The Corners, But Up To 28Mm Should Work. Do Not Use Less Than 2Mm For The Radius As I Did Not Allow For Sharp Corners In The Code. I Generally Had A Tolerance Of .4Mm For Axles, Holes & Threaded Parts. The Threaded Parts I Used A Non-Standard Threading For Better Printing At .2Mm Layer Height, By Changing The Thread Pitch From 1.0 To 1.25 & Thread_Angle = 40. To Modify Any Of The Openscad Files That Use The Threading, You Will Need To Download The **Threads.Scad** File From Http://Dkprojects.Net/Openscad-Threads/ There Are 2 Versions Of The Base, One With Cutouts For The Sign(**Base_Mod_Withcutouts_Rev5.Stl**) I Am Using & One Without Cutouts(**Base_Mod_Rev5.Stl**). You Should Be Able To Print 1 Each Of The Parts, Except Print 2 Each Of The **Complaints_Blank.Stl** & **Complaints_Text.Stl**. The **Axleshort_Withnut_Rev5.Stl** Are 2 Axles With Nuts To Connect To The Woodpecker Gear & Small Gear. The **Axlelong_Withnut_Rev7.Stl** Goes In Middle Of The Springs. I Print 2 Of These For Longer Printing Per Layer, But You Only Need 1 Of These. The **Pinlong_Withnut_Rev7.Stl** Goes At The End Of The Spring Connection. The **Complaintscrews_Withnuts_Rev3.Stl** Are The Screws & Nuts To Connect The Complaint Text. Follow The Directions From The Original Design: Https://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:2882432 For Installing This. The Stl Files I Generated Worked For Me With Any Sanding, But Think I Do Need To Sand The Top And Bottom Of The Woodpecker Gear For Smoother Movement. I Used .2Mm Layer Height For All Prints Except For The Top & Base I Used Variable Layer Height With The Slic3R Prusa Edition 1.40.0-Beta. This Saves Probably 30 Minutes On Each Of Those Prints. For The Top I Used These Layer Ranges //Top Variable Slicing Layers //0 - 2.35 .2 //2.35 - 6.75 .3 //6.75 - 26.15 .2 //26.15 - 40.95 .3 //40.95 - 58.35 .2 If You Use The Base Without The Cutouts, You Could Use .3Mm For All The Layers //Base Variable Layer Slicing //0 - 24.75 .3 //24.75 - 62.55 .2 //62.55 - 77.95 .3 The Openscad File For The Spring_Left_Mod_Rev2.Scad Is Also Used To Generate The Right Spring. It Is Just Mirrored About One Of The Axis. I Would Like To Change The Text A Little Better, But That Works For Now. If I Missed Something Let Me Know.
