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.

Ok, quick update of the files today. I have now changed all of the measures to match what you guys have so thankfully provided. Looking pretty good. I am testing out the brass insert holes today (made them larger) and will start printing what I hope will be the final product. I kicked the little buttresses out to the 1.5 mm at the base. That was hard to do with the polar array in Blender. It really is like juggling twelve plates at the same time.

Here is the small logo version:


And the large logo:


And here is the print of yesterdays design before the last little changes today. I printed the small logo 'suspended' which allowed me to get a little better resolution on the logo. I rinsed it in acetone a couple times and then painted it. Didn't turn out too bad. You can see the brass inserts underneath.





I am going to start printing the newest design and tomorrow I should have it all finished up!
