My first prints with the KBricks systems -- The Quad Demo and Quad Demo at 2:3 scale.
Getting my first successful KBricks build was more of a challenge than I expected. Some of the parts and fit are fiddly, both to print and assemble.
Lessons learned.:
Print the connectors vertically. If you print horizontally, the grain of the print is such that they break easily along the long dimension.
Print the pegs and axles horizontally, for the converse of the same reason. Here comes my first remix; I un-meshed the peg and created a flatted version that would print more easily on its side (without supports). I did this un-meshing and editing in FreeCAD. I guess I should go back and draw or modify it in OpenSCAD so that it can be posted back into the GIT repository.
Axles and such were tight. I endied up printing my pegs about 3% undersized (except for length), and the steering wheel about 3% oversize (except for hieght) so that they would fit more easily.
