Progress on the hockey puck (3d printed), Final draft, ready for printing. Options

[emerygt350]

Been playing with many different approaches to a 3d printed hockey puck. I gave up on the leather texture and instead have gone for a nod to the original but one that instead looks good and prints easily. That means two pieces and a larger emblem.

I have it as two pieces now so the detail of the emblem is good on a filament printer (you need to print it at an angle with supports but the puck sides are printed flat on the board for best results with no supports needed. I have not uploaded these to my collection on thingiverse yet. I will provide instructions on printing when I do. If you have a resin printer the single piece form with the smaller emblem will work fine.

These were printed at low resolution. I will print a high resolution form, paint and assemble when I get a chance.

Thanks for the images. I have created several leather textures but sadly 3d printing doesn't have the resolution to execute them. You can almost do it if you print it at an angle but that creates other issues.

The leather insert costs around 75 dollars I believe, perhaps I will make a version you could just insert that into.

I do this for the challenge. It's like a crossword puzzle for me but I have something useful when I am done, and some improved skills with CAD.

Long live the Chalon!
