About this 3D model
My roller shade broke a few weeks ago. It's around six feet long and would be over one hundred dollars to replace. The price was just to high. I decided to 3D model and print the part myself to save some money. Hopefully you can download the model and do the same. Below are the printer settings I used. Printer: Type A Machines Series 1 Plastic: ABS no heated bed Build Platform: Glass with sanded painters tape @ 23 degrees Celsius Nozzle Temperature: 239 C Nozzle Size: 0.5 mm Slicer: Simplify 3D Layer Height: 100 microns Brim: 5 cm FYI: When using ABS. Sand the tape a lot. If the print fails. Print again ASAP to maintain some heat on the build platform.
