![]() It arrived last week and it has not run anything as it is showing the same problems. You can go read them all and particularly the FUSE 1 IS DEAD thread before this but essentially…we are still down without a Formlabs system that will work.Īfter all the issues we had and the last Fuse 1, Sift and chamber being faulty, in which we were told is extremely rare and never happens, we were finally “allowed” to pay another $12k to get a Fuse 1+ 30 as a replacement to the faulty Fuse 1 we’ve been dealing with. On the right is the “after” when I eliminated the touch tips that contributed to the plane break.This is a follow up report on all the issues we’ve had with Formlabs and the Fuse 1 system as a whole. In the images below, the “before” is on the left, with support structures breaking the phone plane. Lastly I viewed the supports from the side and eliminated any support structures that generated inside the region where the phone would sit. I also increased density to 1.20 and slope multiplier to 1.50 for extra supports. This part was printed on the Form 2, but for Form 3 I would increased touch tip size by at least 0.2mm. I turned up the touch tip size by about 0.1mm (we don’t want the supports coming off here). I printed the part using Tough and Color Kit, but I think most resins should be fine. Make sure that the spline you sketch is closed and that you delete the sketch entities from the snail/terrier for error-free feature rebuild. To change the animal, simply edit the “Terrier Sketch” or “Snail Sketch”*, use the “Insert Image” command, position the image to where you want it, and trace the image with the “Spline” command. Note that the height I used for the iPhone 6 is actually a bit shorter than the phone in order to avoid the protruding camera lens. Configurations (well, Part Studios) already exist for the iPhone 6 with snail and cable routing (specifically for Amazon Basics lightning cable) and for the Moto G5 Plus with Welsh Terrier.Ĭhanging the variables #phone_thickness, #phone_height, and #phone_width should rebuild the model to the right size for your phone. With a free Onshape account, you can copy the document into your account. The CAD design is public, and you can find the document at this link. I’ve recently been using Onshape quite a bit, and I modeled this part in Onshape. What do you think? Have you made any parts that incorporated PreForm-generated support structures into the part design? It resulted in a much taller part, but it’s essentially the same. This was silly, so I added a feature to hold a cable in place. Because I have a relatively old iPhone 6, it loses power quickly, and I found myself often putting the phone in the holder horizontally with the cable sticking out the side. This version came out great, printed in tough (V5) with 100µm thick layers.Īnother coworker suggested that I design it to allow for a charging cable. ![]() ![]() Once imported into PreForm, I didn’t adjust the orientation at all because ultimately the support raft will become the base of the part. To add some fun to it, I put a snail sketch in the middle of the part that is also held up by support structures. Next I designed a thin part that cradles the back perimeter of the phone as well as the bottom edge. The “phone” was impossible to remove without destroying the supports. I also realized that the small support structures could scratch the phone body. Any attempt to remove the supports resulted in their destruction. ![]() Immediately I ran into the issue that the model was fairly robust but the support structures were easy to break and remove. The idea was that I would remove the model, post-cure the support, and then be able to put my phone where the model was. So I printed an iPhone 6 model, angled 25 degrees from vertical. I got to thinking that it would be awesome to have a phone holder that was entirely made of support structures, each touch tip cradling the phone. Over the year, the team at Formlabs has done a decent job reducing the amount of resin spent on generating support structures (especially with the mini rafts introduced earlier this year), but at the end of the day support structures end up as waste.Ī few weeks ago, a coworker asked if I could help her print a phone holder for her desk. For a while I have been interested in incorporating auto-generated support structures into the final part geometry for 3D print jobs using PreForm, Formlabs’ printer driver software.
