Hi Savage, many thanks for proposing some support with this idea!
Basically, I want to test printing the outer shells for the 3 main sections:
(The CR-10 S5 is large enough to print each of them as a one-piece print: 500 mm cubic).
1/ the upper half of head (meaning the top and all the side parts in the "head template sheet 01" file assembled together; I will design a specific bottom part later; but some tabs could be prepared on inner surfaces to attach a 3 mm thick bottom aluminum plate later).
2/ the lower half of head (meaning the bottom and all the side parts from the "head template sheet 02" file assembled together; I will design the internal parts and the "top plate" later)
3/ the body (meaning all parts from "body template sheet 01" file) maybe with some tabs to support the bottom plate that could be printed later in 3 mm thick
4/ actually, the neck could be printed as one-piece as well, then attached by screws to the body top.
Walls could all be 3 mm thick.
Hope you see what I mean... :-)
The skirt is far too large to be printed as one-piece and is too much exposed to potential damages, so I will use traditional flatpack techniques with aluminum for robustness.
I was designing with 123D Design but as it is not supported anymore I am switching to Fusion 360... but still learning/messing with it so far
