Print recommendations:
both printed with 0.4 Nozzle in 0.2 Layer height
15% Infill
PLA (Das Filament “Blue Pearl”)
Orientations:
The Tower:
one of the pivot holes is closed by a sacrificial bridging layer (will be removed later) this side should be facing up
Support Everywhere, they'll be generated on the openings to allow clean bridging
The Tray:
Support only on build plate only (to hold the rotation pins)
Post Processing:
remove supports and sacrificial layer in the pivot hole
Additional Parts:
6 cylindrical Magnets of 5 mm diameter and 1 mm height (amazon) they aren't visible, so if you don't want to use them nobody will notice, but they provide a really satisfying feeling while opening and closing
Assembly:
be very careful to place the magnets in the right directions
The Tower:
remove the one bridge layer in the top pivoting hole (deburring tool works best)
glue in two magnets on each side !!!both in the same direction!!! I'd suggest holding them in a stack and sliding one into each pocket with a drop of superglue
The Tray:
glue in one magnet on each side !!!check polarity on the Tower!!! I'd recommend placing one on each side of the Tower, then putting glue in the Tray holes and then sliding it over the tower, so you are sure to have them in the right direction
