Vintage Stopmotion Machine!

This is a flipbook machine! 
Frame 10 frames of your awesome stop motion creation into this vintage TV and whizz away

The model prints in multiple parts that can be assembled without glue or fasteners and can hold 10 Instax Mini photo's but you can of course put any picture in of 54*86mm! Although you might want to print it on thick paper or back it up with a thin piece of cardboard to strengthen it.

I have designed the model to be able to print with color swaps during the print. For some printers you can program this in the slicer and the printer will wait for the color swap. You can also set an alarm and pause your printer at the right time. But because I'm not that patient I describe a ‘hack’ below to print in multiple gcodes on top of each other.

Assembly:
1. Insert the handle while placing the two sprockets
2. Clip the circlip on the shaft to fix it in place
3. Push the frames in by inserting one side and bending/pressing in the other. This might need some finesse, easiest with the two pins exactly pointing out (gives a bit more sideways room)
5. Place the Instax minis, I found the easiest order: back edge - fat corner - narrow corner
6. And rotate! May need a tiny bit of lubricant / wearing in / sanding if you have course layer lines.

Oh, and here is a video of the Flipbook Machine in action:

I have also added a split version with (example) gcode where you can trick your printer into starting the new print on top of the previous one. Slice the bottom body with normal settings and the bodies on top with the altered gcode. Make sure that the z-lift at the end of the previous print corresponds with the ‘set Z’ in the gcode. Also disable the skirt, the altered gcode will prime in mid air which you can pick away with tweezers at the start.

Happy printing, and if you like my models you can follow me for more awesomeness!
