Prototype 3d printed squonker

[crystal]

Just started making this on my 3d printer. Printing door as I type





Dual 18650 with Big Al's sled PWM board and Mod Makers ModMeter v1 display eventually.


It's a bit deep but will be adjusting it when I Know what I'm doing.

Thanks phtumshk . I'm still learning how to use the printer.

When I've got it right I was thinking of some synthetic beech wood filament with maybe brass fittings.

The world is your 3D printed oyster.
My hats off to ya I have a job printing words on paper with a regular printer lol.

Not over happy with the door so will be making some changes.

The one I've done for a first try is way too deep(35mm), can reduce that by 10mm, possibly put the display behind the battery sled so could reduce the width a little.

The problem I'm having is fitting everything in and keeping it neat and tidy with a two battery set up

ie. batteries, display, fire button, Pot and juice bottle.

Now I've made the first draft I have a better idea of the space available.

Finally a working model.

Need to find a way to radius all the edges so it's more comfortable in the hand though.

Thanks VapingBad, it works very well for a first attempt at a squonker, a couple of burns from my very cheap soldering iron too. icon_shoppingm

Still plenty of room for improvement.

Job well done crystal!
Personally I would move the squonk bottle behind the battery sled to minimize the wiring going past the squonk pin.
Other than that I need to get my hands on a 3d printer as well!

Thanks for your input naDiel

I'm still learning how to use the printer, as the subject is "prototype" that's exactly what it is. Any suggestions and advice is greatly appreciated.

Still trying to fit everything inside and making it as small as I can.

Thanks again

To be honest mate everyone needs to start somewhere and from what I see you are off to a good start anyway
And touching on the edges - if the printer is not able to make them a bit more round, why not take some sanding paper to them?
Just make sure you have plenty of material, so you don't sand through!

Very nice well done.
