  • 3D printing has some unique properties that let us design compliant mechanisms in new ways. This week I played around with the idea to make some fun and functional objects!

    bit.ly/cmpliant (compliant clips)
    bit.ly/chopS (transforming chopsticks)

    Cool designs! Note that compliant mechanism are often one piece (i.e. monolithic), but they don't have to be. (The core is the flexibility through elastic deformation). Especially for FDM, you can break up your designs in to multiple parts to optimize for strength or build direction.

      Good point! I enjoy the challenge of designing parts that print in place, but sometimes splitting up a print has clear advantages

      I mean 3D prints use very little filament. Generally is 800cm^3 per 1.75mm 1kg roll. At $35 for a roll I would guess at most those prints were $1 - $1.5 each. If I had the models I could be more specific. Basically the cost of SLA

    On your printed capo:
    Make the white piece just be a pin or tab that sticks out, no hole in it ... make the green piece have holes in it like a belt. Hold it across the strings and stretch around the back and then just hook the appropriate hole on the white pin. this will eliminate the need to 'thread' the strap. I have a capo made in this way that works well.
