Description

PDF

Didn't see many good options for this type of scoreboard out there so decided to make my own. I wanted it to be sturdy yet still fully printable. So this is my design…

 

TL;DR: you'll need a little glue for the numbers, cards may need slightly different print settings, make sure the divots on the bars are facing down. 

Downloading

The .stl files for each piece are in the Model Files section. The number cards and their high contrast inserts are in a separate file to make things more organized. All the files can be downloaded together in the .zip under Other Files

 

Materials

  • About 450g of filament.
  • About 30g of a contrasting color filament (for the numbers)
  • Some super glue or other bonding agent for the numbers

 

Printing

Printing should be easy since nothing needs supports. However, there are a few notes…

  1. The only files that need to be oriented differently than they come are the Alignment Screws and the Pin for the frame bars. Select Auto Orient in your slicer and that will fix it. 
  2. Depending on the maximum score desired, print as many number cards and inserts needed. For example, if your maximum score is 21 then print 4x 0s, 1s, and 2s, and 2x of the other numbers.
  3. Every thing was printed with standard settings (2 walls, 15% infill, etc.) except the cards. They may work with standard settings, but I have not tested that. I would suggest increasing top layers, or infill so that they are solid. 
    Note: To get the vertical lines shown in the pictures…
    1. Top surface pattern: aligned rectilinear
    2. Top shell layers: 0
    3. Bottom surface pattern: aligned rectilinear
    4. Bottom shell layers: 1
    5. Sparse infill density: 99.9
    6. Sparse infill pattern: aligned rectilinear
    7. Sparse infill direction: 90
    8. Solid infill direction: 0
  4. Be patient. It takes a while to print all the parts.

 

Assembly

Putting it together should be intuitive but here are a few notes:

  1. The divots on the bars should face downward so that the rings can be aligned to them with the screws.
  2. The connection for the bars should be snug, so they may take some persuasion.
  3. You'll need a little glue to attach the number inserts to the cards.
  4. The ring openings are best placed toward the front.
  5. Look at the pictures.

 

If anything is unclear, just ask! Happy printing!
