Same— my understanding is that there’s now no option to play without making one, which for some countries and territories is not even an option, making the game unplayable for them.
The 45 degree one was really poor quality on the bottom… and the back part snapped when I was trying to remove supports. It likely would’ve been a bit stronger printing with taller layers, but the bottom edge seems tricky to support regardless.
The horizontal one turned out well. The bottom side has a rough finish from where the supports connected, but I think being more picky about painting on supports and giving that side a quick shave after printing would fix. The tip is still pretty smooth, to my surprise! Also, this printed twice as quick as the vertical one, since I didn’t have to slow any movements. I can’t break this one even if I try— it’s super strong, the bridge included. Just bends. That said, the nub on this one is more of a nub than a bump, a bit sharper. Between that and the surface on the bottom, it doesn’t fit in my 3ds without doing any shaving or sanding. However, the “tail” part, which shows in the 3ds, is smoothest off-the-bed in this orientation.
Lastly, I printed another vertical one because I wanted to figure out why the bridge at the bottom wasn’t complete in the sliced model:
My solution was reducing the “minimum perimeter width” for the Arachne generator down to 50% (of the nozzle diameter) from 85%. Anyways, this print has a smoother, shinier finish along the shaft and tip. On this print, the nub near the bottom is more of a gradual bump compared to the horizontal one. With this print, though, as the height increases, you can see a bit of wobble and there is a Z-seam running up the shaft. Also, I don’t trust bending this stylus very much, especially the bridge part, since that’s what broke first last time. Seems sturdier this time with the perimeter change, but only a bit. And finally, the “tail” is the roughest here, since it’s the part that was connected to the raft. It’s probably worth sanding it down to get a good finish there.
True, and that’s the most important part. I learned a lot today, too, like how you can’t use organic supports with variable layer height (which is a huge bummer!) and how to add connectors to a split part in prusa.
What are your thoughts about the extending stylus for the original model 3ds? They weren’t particularly long, but it’s something up on the plain plastic ones.
Super small youtuber, but I really look up to TyraLore. Her videos are all about the Minecraft Create mod, but her way of explaining everything, as well as her creativity in her survival series, have really inspired me to play Minecraft again.
I should’ve been a bit more careful with where I put support material— one side of the bridge part is a bit bumpy. But it still works, so I can’t complain too much. Also, the bottom part where it connected to the raft is a bit rough. Might be worth lightly sanding it down so it’s a nicer finish when stashed.
It definitely does seem sketch, but the creator of the model recommended printing it vertically— it makes the gap, nub and tip a bit smoother.
I had to slow the layers a bit and play with the raft and supports (I originally did a 3ds xl stylus a few months ago, that’s where my trial-and-error was)
Yeah, the main shaft ( 😥🤤 ) would have gained stability from being horizontal, but the bottom has an awkward bridge with a nub on it that would possibly need supports. Also the tip is a bit smoother off-the-bed with concentric rings than with stacked layers on supports, so those things benefit.
It feels pretty sturdy, but it probably wouldn’t be hard to snap if I wanted to. I saw some other designs that printed the stylus in separate pieces, which would probably give the best final quality.
Agreed. My favorite print I’ve done is a super basic rectangle with a circular section cut out of it, I made it myself with openscad and it’s propping up a pipe in my basement. It’s so cool how flexible 3D printing is! I’ve still only scratched the surface…
It’s handy for sure, but the effort that has gone into learning about and using it for me has been a lot more than I expected. It’s become a total hobby for me!
It could be worth checking if you have a local library or maker space with 3D printers available~
Thank you for the design! It’s working great so far, but if it breaks I’ll give that a shot.
Also I agree, I should have linked it. Sorry about that. I posted it to 196 because it was the most recent picture in my camera roll, but it really would’ve made sense to link it in the follow up pictures. I’ll edit that comment to point to yours, just in case.
Definitely would’ve been easier to print (less tinkering with slicer settings), too. But I think because the layer time was so quick, it’s surprisingly well-bonded.
