I created a customizable OpenSCAD script that allows you to easily pick the face shield variant you need and build vertical stacks to mass-produce them. If you have OpenSCAD and want to run this locally, download run locally.zip
. This will be much faster than rendering in Thingiverse Customizer.
4/27/20 Edit: Updated all variants to the solid front version, which prints in stacks much better. Unless your printer has really good bridging, the old version wouldn't work. This version will generate stacks that can be printed on pretty much any printer.
4/28/20 Edit: Added 3 common stacks for North America face shield: 100mm, 180mm, and 200mm max build heights
Thingiverse Customizer doesn't support the import
command, so I made a file converter that turns STL files into SCAD modules. This results in a massive OpenSCAD file, as they all have to be in one file for Customizer to work.
Originally, I simply used the import
command to reference each STL, which results in much faster rendering and stack STL generation. run locally.zip
contains the original .scad file that uses the import
command, along with each referenced STL.
Do not use supports! (unless you have PVA or another dissolvable filament.)
With a 0.4mm nozzle, a 0.25mm layer height works great with a 2 layer gap on my printer. If you are printing with a larger layer height, I suggest decreasing the layer gap to 1 layer.
In order for the layer gap to work correctly, every layer must be an integer multiple of the layer height. This means the first layer MUST BE 100% of the layer height, or 200%, 300%, etc.
