Stupid Pet tricks - pencil cap

I have only used Cura

My previous experience with 3d printing has all been from the design side and using the Shapeways service, so having my own printer is a new experience (I have a decent amount of experience with CNC mills and lathes). Unfortunately, a full time job, two small kids, and a full list of projects around the house has put the MP Delta near the bottom of the priority list. The Maslow is near the top, but is awaiting my finishing my workshop enough to actually install it. Soon…

So this fits like a glove -

Proof of concept complete. I now need to finish the design with amounting system and print it out of High Temp ABS.

Thank you

will this really work?
my son is thinking that this would be a good way to test things out
before cutting.

I use the pencil cap. and it worked for me. I have not tried the printed pencil holder for the chuck. the files are shared through the community garden.

More Tips N tricks -

I used the center cut out of my sled to make a pencil holder. I draw on my Maslow all the time. I just used a screw to anchor it :slight_smile:

I used the cap of a water bottle cut in half to make a holder for my zip ties. The cap keeps the pressure of the screw distributed so the bottle won’t tear.

Lastly - I’m currently printing a Bungie Cap for my router.

Thank you
