This is really cool! It’s also a great example of simple and functional API integration. I have been meaning to add Octoprint and Web camera monitoring to my #prusa Mk3S for some time, but never have got around to it. Maybe this will give me the push I need. thanks for sharing Peter Rogers. #3DOMengineering
Exciting update! #Fusion360 connected with #Octoprint now to better help support #3dprinting users in making sure they are working effectively! Check out this…
This tutorial shows you how to install and configure the OctoPrint Add-In for Fusion 360. The Add-In allows you to transfer and monitor your 3d prints directly from the Fusion 360 Manufacturing environment. Octoprint is an open-source 3d printing controller application that allows you to send and queue jobs for your 3d printer.
After adding the maximum allowable spring lift, I realized how high the seat was in Goliath, the name of my FJ55 Land Cruiser. I also realized about this time that the driver never had a roof handle. Thanks very much Toyota! I’m sure they had their reasons.
As part of my ongoing project to model all plastic parts in Goliath, the next job was obviously to replicate the existing three roof handles to print a drivers roof handle.
I checked that all three are identical, done. then took one off for modelling. I did need to made a few small updates to suit 3D (FFF) printing but I’m pretty happy with the result.
This is a redner of my Fusion 360 designed, roof handle for my FJ55 Land Cruiser.
I printed this in Filamentum TPU Flex 98A. Looks great and the colour is a good match for the original handles. It also feels great in the hand when being used, and gives a little (flexes) if you wack your head on it.
After my first print, I had to do a little clean up post printing due mostly to some minimal but unavoidable overhangs. I have ideas how to minimize this in the future but it will do for now.
To clean the prints, I used side shears and a small file to clean up the external surfaces. For the hidden edges in the screw recess, I used a hot know to weld the loose bridge strands back into place.
With that done and a confirmed screw cover fit, I was ready to grab the pre-purchased M6x20 screws and installed it in the car.
As a final check now that it is in the vehicle, I lifted myself with it, to confirm its strength. If it stands up to my weight, it’ll work for most anyone.
It looks great, feels great and above all that, it works well.
Now I just need to remember that it is there now and use it.
I know now that I can replace any that get broken handles, or even to temporarily replace the handles to prevent the original ones getting damaged.
I’m looking forward to see how it holds up to use and abuse by a heavy person like me.
If you are interested in your own FJ55 handle reach out to us, or you can order it as is from the projects pages.
Have you ever been concerned about air pollution and what your breathing when your printing? I have. This #3dprintingnerd video is a good demonstration of the practical use of filters and the affect that the air pollution can have on you.
