I designed this just for fun but they work quite well also. I was interested in seeing how to print two components together without them bonding. I used a 0.2mm print layer and a 0.2mm gap between the two rings. They stick together but don’t fuse together and can be pried apart quite easily. Nozzle temperature is key to getting just the right build. You might have to play around a little.
The rings are 20mm, 30mm, 40mm and 50mm inside diameter. The smaller rings are stronger but all are useable. I printed them all as one set and it worked well. But I am including individual rings in case you don’t want them all. Take note of the print settings though, they will be particularly important if printing one ring at a time.
I am now posting all of my new designs on Thangs.com and plan to continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Some of my older designs may not have been migrated over yet so if they are not available on Thangs.com please check on Thingiverse.
Use, Licensing, Comments and Feedback
My primary distribution site for my design files is Thangs.com. Thangs.com is, in my opinion, leading the way in promoting designers and competition amongst designers which in turn fuels the growth of high-quality 3d printable designs for the benefit of our entire community. However, as a result, some of my designs are only available for free for 1 week from when first posted, so please download them when you see a new file available that you are interested in. Also, please like and save to help me with the competitions.
I do not permit the use of my designs for commercial purposes (i.e. you can not sell my design(s) or products printed from my design(s)) without first acquiring a commercial license from me. On Thangs.com I offer membership accounts for access to all my design files as well as a membership for commercial licensing which allows subscribers to sell printed products using my designs.
I welcome comments and feedback as we as requests for customization of designs. I will do my best to accommodate those requests.
