Revision as of 02:55, 11 December 2019

The RepRap motto is "wealth without money" - for this assignment you are to create wealth by making an open source design that has value to you. It must be 3D printable on your MOST Delta and cost less than a commercial equivalent (if such a thing exists).

Assignment

  1. Design something of "high value" that you can 3D print on your MOST Delta
  2. Make sure someone else has not already done it - search http://www.yeggi.com/ and https://www.yobi3d.com
  3. Design 3D printable components with ONLY OS CAD packages (e.g. OpenSCAD, FreeCAD, or Blender)
  4. Upload your design under an OS license to https://www.myminifactory.com/ or https://libre3d.com/ - include: Source files, STLs, a picture, and a brief description including costs and $ savings.
  5. Add picture, link to your MyMiniFactory or Libre3D page with name, commercial equivalent link+cost, and economic savings to table below (see example).
  6. Print component and bring to class (online students - post a link to a short Youtube video)

Grading

  • 30% Print quality
  • 20% Documentation
  • 50% Design (design for printing, aesthetics and function)

Automatic reductions: -50% no source or the use of non-OS software -10% per day for late

Table of Value

2019

Digital Photo Free Design/Link to YouMagine Commercial equivalent link/Cost US$ Approximate Savings in US$
CoffeeGrinder.jpg Coffee Grinder Conversion Kit [1], $139 Amazon Best Selling Electric Burr Coffee Grinder Any planetary motor (the best being 100 RPM) with power supply will work. The printed components only takes 76g of filament to print. My cost of filament was $1.52, so $137.50 savings (99%). If you don't have your own motor and power supply, you can pick your choice from amazon and will run around $25 in total. This reduces the cost savings to $114 (82%). YouTube link: 9tXILSS19Ps
Skiset.jpg Ski Waxing System [2], $120 $115, Essay on savings
Parametric piping tips.jpg Parametric Piping Tips [3], $33 At about $1.30 to print all seven tips: You save $31.70 (%96) for a basic set.
[PROJECT IS CURRENTLY PRINTING] Cable Management Box [4], $23.97 It costs approximately $2.63 to print the cable management box: You save $21.34 (%89).
Deadlift Jack 3.png Deadlift Jack [5], $42 Takes about 500 grams to print all 5 components, $10 print cost: Saving $32 and 7 lbs of weight compared to metal version.
Use.jpg Adjustable Ream [6], 20$ It costs in total about 1 dollar for the print hardware and glue so we are saving 19$
Obentobox.png Customizable Obento Box [7], $24.95 It costs in total about $1.08 dollars and takes 54 grams of filament for 2 boxes, lids, and separator. Savings: $23.87, 96% savings. Youtube Link
Pineapple self watering planter.JPG Pineapple Self-Watering Planter [8], $18.99 It costs in total about $1.22 dollars and takes 61 grams of filament for 2 pieces of the planter. And this is comparing it with a planter that isn't a self-watering one. Savings: $17.77, 93.58% savings
Armagloader2.jpg PMAG Loader [9], $26.95 Total cost is ~85 cents, with ~58 cents of plastic being used at the 30% infill I printed at, I had a clevis pin laying around but am assuming a 27 cent cost for a clevis pin if sourced from McMaster Carr as a worst case scenario, for a total savings of ~$26.10 over the closest commercial equivalent. Video for being an online student here
DominonBaseCardBox.jpg Dominion base card compact holder [10], $19.99 full price, $12.99 on sale The total cost for the two pieces is around $1.94 for 97g of filament. The base card set from Dominion (with cards included, I had my own) is priced around $19.99 or $12.99 normally. This is a savings of 90% full price ($‭18.05‬), and 85% ($11.05) on sale.
No image yet [(No link yet) Nordic ski binding jig (self-clamping)] [11], Not sold commercially, but you can find one used for $45-60 if you're lucky. Expect the print to cost __ at __% infill. That gives a cost savings of __ over buying an old used jig, and you save the time of hunting it down on random buy/sell pages.

Using a jig to mount your bindings is extremely helpful for proper hole placement. Without the use of a jig, it takes much longer to correctly place the mounting holes. The jig sets perfect alignment every time and greatly speeds up the process. There is currently one OS binding jig, and it does not have a clamping mechanism and does not align itself to the ski. See here. The new design both clamps and aligns. To properly use, print the base plate (two separate pieces that connect) then print two clamps and connect them to the base plate's extruded tabs. See the myminifactory link for more details.

TSpineRoller.jpg T spine Muscle Roller + Wall Mount [12], 40$ It costs around $16.20 to print for a savings of $23.80, that is a savings of 83.25%. The wall mount costs around $25 but only $12.80 to print + the few cents for mounting bolts.
JPlug.jpg JPlug [13] A typical plug can run about $10. This design costs about $0.30 with 5 wall linings and a 25% infill.
Prototype caliper.jpg Prototype Caliper Since this is a custom design made by our team there are no commercial equivalents. Though material would cost around $118 plus machine time and tooling would price this probably around $250+ This design costs about $0.29 for the brace, $0.50 for the main body, and $0.19 for the pistons. So using that the whole caliper plus some bolts puts the total cost of the prototype at about $1.50. Resulting in a $248.50 savings (99.4%) per iteration. **ADD Video Link**
Silverware holder.jpg Silverware Holder [14] A typical silverware holder to hook onto a dish drainer can cost about $9. This design costs about $1.50 and it is wider to accommodate a bigger dish rack.
Carpetslider.jpg [15] https://www.power-systems.com/shop/product/slidez, $31.04 The commercial equivalent for this product is linked above. It costs $31.04 for a set. This cost to print a set of these exercise carpet sliders is approximately $2.82, assuming a price of $20 per kg of PLA.
