D3D Universal Calibration Prints

This section is for 3D printed goods designed and optimized for the D3D Universal, as useful calibration prints and value demonstration during the STEAM Camp. STEAM Camp FreeCAD lessons can be used to iterate on these or add new products.

  • Box extender - [1]
  • Rubber tires for telehandler and skid steer, punctureproof. Steel plate-rubber composites. Airless tires from TPU ($3200 per skid steer)
  • Leaf Eliminator
  • DIN rail for circuit breakers- [2]. File:Dinrail.stl.
  • Trim ($4k savings per house)
  • Bird netting/Shadecloth ($6k saved per hectare of blueberry production) - this is to make growing of small fruit open source anywhere. Working on this with Eduardo my Mexican apprentice - this would be TPU at 14 cent per kilo scrap or your filament-embedded 3D print. Going with fiberglass first - not carbon - for reasons of cost. Is this practical to print bird netting this way assuming we have a suitable printer?
  • All types of small fittings and parts (compression fittings, electrical boxes, enclosures, etc - $2k per house)
  • Geomembrane and geogrid - $2000 saved per house

Water Pumping

  • Check.png. Peristaltic water pump - [27]. Smart one - planetary gears - connects directly to a drill.
  • Another peristaltic pump - with bearings here - too complicated - [28]
  • Submersible water pump - [29]. YouTube says files are on site, but STLs are nowhere to be found on the website. Typical absence of usefulness.
  • Strainer for 1/4" hose - [30]

Other Useful Print Communities

  • 3D Printing Useful Things FB Group
  • r/functionalprint A Subreddit dedicated to people posting their 3D Prints for more practical (rather than toy/art etc) use cases, It also can "crosspost" from other 3d printing communities leading to it being a curator of sorts]
