Man this is so well thought out. Great job! Some ideas for a v2 or add-ons: 1. a tension arm for the axle (if there’s space) that gently holds the edge of a card to control the angle of the visible card kind of like a flip clock. 2. A plate or something on the bottom that allows different mounting options to be attached/added like magnets, v-slot t-nuts, etc. might be nice to mount on top of printer.
Ooh! Another idea! A binder style base that uses the same internal wheels to hold the cards, but lets you put the cards in something stackable/flat. I’ve wanted to learn OpenSCAD but designing from scratch seemed intimidating after trying to just make a hexagon and it required a bunch of specific positions for each point. But maybe I’ll try again with this idea.
I’d love to see that! Here’s a cheat for making regular polygons: just make a cylinder and limit how many sides it has (using $fn). cylinder(height, top_radius, bottom_radius, $fn=6). OpenScad takes a bit of work, but you can do it!
Great design. I'm thinking of adapting it to store dvd and bluray discs in hole-punched sleeves. Do you think this could be printed large enough to accommodate?
@@3DPrinty Me neither. It was recently too. I'll drop a link if I can remember the creator's name...@Proper Printing is my best guess rn. They were press fitting a bearing into a part and the manufacturer variance was a slight issue.
Unfortunately all of my projects on Thingiverse have been deleted. You can download the files on Prusa Printers and Thangs using the links in the video description. Happy printing!
I’m planning on testing out a thicker version of the swatch so that it can reliably be printed vertically. It makes a big difference to the transparency of PETG
Are you suggesting the 3D printing community come together to improve on projects for the mutual benefit of all? Wow, such a good idea, they should make a word for that!
Wow! Now I'm famous in the section "Featured Printy" ;) Thank you! - It's a great joy to print your genius designs!
They were some great prints. I still really like the extra spout you added to the barrel puzzle.
YES!!!!! Was really looking forward to this. Such a genius idea. Gonna print one of these today!
Good luck and happy printing!

Both are good ideas! I’m guessing you saw the flip clock video by Technology Connections ( ruclips.net/video/ZArBfxaPzD8/видео.html )?

Lol I don’t envy the amount of color changes you did to get all the separate text colors. So far I’ve just been doing it in sharpie after the fact.
whatever works! my sharpie skills are too lacking for that.
These are amazing!! I'm planning to make one out of wood! This gave me a good idea of the wheel and axle design
Great! Good luck with the wood version :)
Great design. I'm thinking of adapting it to store dvd and bluray discs in hole-punched sleeves. Do you think this could be printed large enough to accommodate?
Probably! I'd DEFINITELY plan to make the clips thicker. And the way they clip on would need to be updated so that the clips are stronger.
For press fittings, I saw a tip in another of video that demonstrated adding a layer of Sharpie marker to both surfaces to compensate for shrinkage.
Interesting, I haven't heard that trick before!

I can imagine connecting this design to a motor, to make a cheap flip clock, or something similar!
With a little work, certainly possible!
Amazing!! Thank you!!!! :D
Glad you like it!
For the swatches you made, did you do a color swap for all of them or were some of those just painted/colored after the fact?
They were all color swaps! Had to give the project that extra polish, y’know?
Your Thingiverse link is responding with a 404. Is it still available (I have downloaded previously, and I need the swatch.scad

This is cute

That should get you some pretty clean text! Are you printing it top-edge down so that the part that snaps into the holder can still be thin?

No need to suggest for them to do it. It’s automatic.
