- Download Modified Sensor Housing STL.
- No supports or anything similar needed.
- In order for bridging helpers to work correctly, you need to print a layer height of 0.15mm or lower and 3 outer perimeters or more.
- At that point, infill won't matter and can be pretty low.
- After printing, remove the two tiny bridges at the end of the module holding up the "lip".
- Download New Tracker Mount STL.
- No supports or anything similar needed.
- In order for bridging helpers to work correctly, you need to print a layer height of 0.2mm or lower.
- 2-3 perimeters should be enough.
- Infill doesn't matter.
You will need flexible filament for this (duh). For example, this was tested with Fiberlogy Fiberflex 40D.
- Download the rigid part and the flexible part of the modified rigid mount.
- There are many guides online on how to print multi material if your printer has only one nozzle and you can look
for more detailed instructions for your slicer/printer. However, here's a brief summary:
- Tell your slicer that your printer has two hot ends (even if it doesn't).
- Import the two STLs into your slicer, make sure it detects it as two parts of the same object for multi material printing.
- Set the filaments correctly for the flexible and rigid part.
- Make sure your printer supports
M600
or a similar print pause/filament change G-Code command. - Set
M600
(or whatever command your printer understands) as the custom Filament Change/Tool Change G-Code. In PrusaSlicer/SuperSlicer, you find this in the Custom G-Code section of your Printer profile. In Cure, there is an Extension calledPost Processing
that you can use to add a custom G-Code script.
- Set the layer height to 0.25mm for the bottom 1mm or the entire print. You can set it lower, but then you'll have to change the filament more often.
- If you have done it correctly, there should only be 4 manual filament changes for the entire print.
- No supports needed, infill doesn't matter, 2-3 perimeters recommended.
- Good luck!
