3D Print Design #10
Description
A few tips for the next version of this case!
There are a lot of right edges like here:
Right edges on prints especially when they're along layer lines makes the part way more likely to break along that edge. So these standoffs cannot take much force before they shear. For increased strength, curve the edges with fillets.
Overhangs like these sliding areas are really hard to print and guaranteed to not fit smoothly without a lot of post processing. They are hard to get to for sanding. You can avoid the whole issue by modifying the top of the sliding part to be a plate that screws down in assembly with some countersunk m2.5s. I realize this adds some hardware but it improves the printability significantly. This area is also going to be prone to breaking so being able to replace it without doing the whole print again is ideal.
I'll add more design tips as I go through assembling this.
