3D Printing: Extending the Use of the Bambu

This print was another version of the DPE speakers that we have mentioned previously, that is the set up to house the speakers for a blue tooth speaker set up inside of this casing, which in other examples had been provided by the laser cutter as seen in this post.

This was a significant print from a senior member of our school, and was a significant undertaking using Tinkercad to design it.  

The print really tested the limit of the Bambu H2D Printer.  It took a full twenty hour hours to complete the print and used close to half a roll of filament (which is a price of $15.00 based on $30.00 NZD a roll).   There was a significant amount of rafting involved in this print, as shown in the illustration below.   The dimensions of the print reflected is size.

The speaker box measured 210mm across and was 120mm long.  The print was 140mm high.   The holes for the speakers and the blue tooth control buttons were 70mm by 30mm and 50mm across.

This was a significant print - however it had a purpose as these dimensions reflect the size of the laser cut speakers.   The bird that was designed to mount the top of the speakers required careful removing the rafting.   Its legs are somewhat of a concern still being relatively thin, and the hat that is sitting on the birds head in the second picture did not survive the removal of the basic rafting.   A final issue to be discussed will be the mounting of the electronics for the speaker in the unit and mounting them into place.
