Here are a few pics of some of my Tantillus's prints :

First are somes clock gears, the purpose is to build a working clock then cast (aluminum) the gears.
The paper's squares are 5mm.








Source is here, but each gear as been printed at 50%


Then, my first really usefull object, a coffe tamper.
2 models for 2 machines.
Works really well & improve the brew !

Excellent work what did you use to design the gears?

Well, that's the trick, I didn't designed the gears smiling smiley
I bought the clock plan, which include a 3d vue.

But several tools exists to design gears, a parametric script can be found on thingiverse

Very Nice. Do you plan on cutting up the frame parts to make them printable?

The tampers turned out well especially considering how tough of a print they can be with the overhangs.

The first tamper (N) has a 46.5° angle overhang. Since it printed nicely, I increased the overhang to 43.3° - still nice smiling smiley
If anybody needs a coffée tamper, I can share the source (solidworks) or .stl files.


For the frame parts, I need to check what would be better printed or just cut from plywood, but maybe I'll print everything to get a full green clock.
Just don't know yet.
