OC Polyhedron Kaleidoscope

Not 100% sure this counts as a functional print, since I purchased acrylic mirrors for this and cut them down. What I 3d printed were the templates for cutting the mirrors and the shell for holding it all together in the right shape and protecting it so my niece can play with it without breaking it.

Templates, stencils, jigs and fixtures are absolutely functional printing. One of the best functional use cases of a 3D Printer is the abundant use cases of how it enhances another hobby. Just making a drill template so the holes are in an accurate layout is extremely helpful.

Functional 3D Printing

Welcome fellow prototypers!

This communities' purpose is to help others and share functional 3D Printing related information.

While other 3D Printing Communities are a good resource, sometimes too many help posts get buried under memes and fluff.

This will remain technically focused and keep the fluff removed.

Please help your fellow 3D Printer hobbyists as much as you can with their issues! and showcase your functional prints and how you use or created them.

Rules

Be Kind, No Spam, No Memes.

No Prints that are non-functional (aka Dust Collectors) unless you are asking a technical question about the print.

I have addressed the bolts that ripped my pants with protective plastic nubbins (the black lozenge thing at the end of the bar). This was the 2nd test one. The first was a bit too loose. I've since printed 3 more to cover the remaining bolts. They just press into place with a nice snug fit....
