Doesn't the peg violate the 45 degree rule? Unless this object is printed with the peg
sticking up, the 45 degree rule is going to be violated, and if it's printed up then it
will be violated elsewhere on this object. It seems that there is no escaping that this
peg violated the rule set out in
Chapter 1
,
Design Tools and Basics
.
It's true that this peg does, strictly speaking, violate that rule however it is a very
minor violation of it. Also, it will allow any sufficiently well calibrated 3D printer to
mess up, very slightly, when printing it, build on that mess and correct itself before
too many layers pass. If when the final print is done, it's found that one side of this
peg is too messy than one corner it can be cut off, cleaned up, and there will still be
enough of the peg remaining for the spring to hold on to.
Make sure the other objects are visible, and take a moment to check in wireframe
mode (
Z
) to be sure that the rack is sitting below the main disk of the
Spinner
and
not intersecting with it. Also, the main body of the rack should be entirely inside the
BoxInterior
. If the view is adjusted the finger hole should extend outside the body
but only at one small part and the majority of the finger hole should be outside the
BoxExterior
.
