Split Flap Display - Character Drum Tools

DescriptionThis is a remix of Morgan Manly’s original Split Flap Display, focused on improving the print and build quality of the character drum component. These tools have helped me print and assemble multiple character drums with near perfect quality.MotivationThe quality of the character drum is a big factor in overall SFD accuracy. A bad character drum is the common reason for flaps being +1 or -1 character when flipping to a specific character. Imperfections in the small flap holes can lead to flaps getting stuck or being crooked.If the magnet is not aligned and completely flat in the magnet hole, it can lead to missed/inaccurate hall sensor readings or the magnet getting stuck on the enclosure wall.Character Drum ChangesI’ve pre-split the character drum for easier printing.Printing both outer walls face down will improve the print quality of the small flap holes. The downside is you’ll have to glue the two pieces back together.Most slicers should be able to cut the character drum
