Haven’t tried nylon yet. I think you can buy certain variations of nylon that might work stock, but otherwise nylon can require temps that go way too high for the PTFE tube, among other things, and I’d also probably need to build an enclosure to keep temps regulated. Too much work for me. Maybe someday in the future.
My old Monoprice printer was a direct drive. I honestly didn’t notice ANY difference in how things print. If anything, I can print faster with bowden. I know flexible filaments work better with direct, but I don’t really print anything like that. Maybe a fancy direct drive setup would change my mind. I’ve looked into a bunch of random stuff, but for now… my printer seems to be accommodating my needs
The model I printed out without the screw holes snaps together perfectly fine and won’t come apart unless I really pry at it, so maybe keep a version like this, but with other updates?
ok i think im keeping the rounded finger part that divides the index finger. what do you guys think about adding a fillet here? (fillet at the index finger part is here to stay.) personally i dont mind the sharper chamfer.
After a day I, finally made enough changes and have everything aligned [mostly] properly. My prints are not super good. I forgot my extrusion multiplier for the ender3 and the store setting wasn’t right. I will upload everything now.
if you have already printed them. you should print these new files instead because the usb port opening wasn’t aligned.
Changes are:
Added fillets at some edges
Extended Trigger
Correct trigger and thumb wheel height/width
Corrected usb port opening
Overall girth of the remote is 24mm (same as the one currently uploaded)
deeper cutout for the trigger button and more walls behide it.
ok they are updated now. there are 2 thumbwheel models, v7.1 is basically the same as the old one but wider, v7 has a slightly bigger (0.5mm) inner arc radius for a looser and smoother wheel. once you rest your thumb on the wheel, they dont feel any different.
Hey, I printed the main shell overnight just before you uploaded a new version. I noticed the internals changed slightly (remove one screw, changed internal wall a bit, etc) and I printed the triggers this morning from the new design. Should I reprint?
This remote feels really nice on my hand.
btw, my printer had a lot of problems with the NANO-W text and the holes for the screws came out closed, will fix it with a drill. These are probably issues with my printer. I printed at 0.15 layer height and PETG.
I think you printed the very first file I uploaded. I would suggest you to reprint it. The current version is much better. Sorry about that. I think I have made all the changes I wanted on the case atm so there will be no more changes on this thingiverse link specifically. If there’s other stuff I wanna add, I’ll make a new thingiverse link.
