I've been wanting to do this one for literally three years. Finally pulled it off:
I scaled up the original file by a factor of 1.5. Since that's a linear scale, the actual volume increased by a factor of 3.375.
Unfortunately, the pawns don't snap together like they should - they just fall apart. Other people have had this problem too, and there's a modified pawn file that I'm going to print next to see if it fixes the issue.
UPDATE: the modified pawns fit together a bit better, but not enough to actually stick. I'll have to try them again at normal scale and see if that changes anything.
UPDATE 2: I tried a normal-scale print of two pawns. The print failed when I ran out of filament, but enough of it completed to prove the pawns latch much better at the original scale:
Original file here.
Nozzle: 230C
Bed: 100C
Chamber: 50C
Layer height: 0.2mm
Speed: 40mm/s
Time: 13 hours
Material: Hatchbox ABS

Simeon might be interested in a pair of these :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, I had that thought as well!
