PLEASE GIVE FEEDBACK TO HELP MY COURSEWORK

A reusable set of building blocks that can be used to support overhangs, reducing the amount of 3D printed waste.

Magnetic Bottom module to attach the structure to the build plate (blue).

Modular, flexible central module to increase the height in large increments (green).

Top module and plate to add fine adjustment to the height of the support (Purple and Black).

Each part is created from one continuous wall to decrease print time and material use.

Instructions for use:

1. Print some of the modules from the files above.
2. Check the height of the overhang in the slicer, scheduling a pause.
3. Build the correct height from the modules.
4. Print up to the height before the overhang occurs.
5. Place the model under where the overhang will be printed.
6. Resume printing.

I am passionate about both 3D printing and the environment, so I decided to create this for my A-Level coursework project, however the model is not yet as good as it can be, so please try it out on your prints and let me know of any areas I can improve on, it would really help me out.

The rod can either be held in place with a magnet, however the purple section should hold it in place if Prusament with a Prusa i3 MK3S+ is used. 

The rod is 2.4mm in diameter and 15mm in length.

The magnets are 5mm in diameter and 2.5mm in thickness.

Thank you for reading!
