Ghostbusters Ghost Trap (1984) for smaller 3D Printers
EDIT (October 2021): It seems countspatula has updated his design since I made those parts and not all of them work with the new design. Please double check before printing!
This is a split version of the 3 bigger parts of countspatula's Ghost Trap, allowing it to be printed on printers with a 200x200mm bed.
You will have to print all other parts from the original Ghost Trap if you want the whole thing.
The split parts are designed to be assembled without any glue or extra screws. However, if you want to sand and paint them, it may worth gluing them first.
They assemble perfectly but you may have to do some sanding on the part where support material was attached.
Same thing if you're experiencing "Elephant foot syndrome" (that may be an issue with the bottom frame, but you can fix it easily with some sanding or an X-acto knife).
List of parts:
- side_LT_panel_s1 and side_LT_panel_s2
Those two parts replace the original side_LT_panel part. You need to print with supports for the bigger part ("touching buildplate" support is enough). - side_RT_panel_GB2_s1 and side_RT_panel_GB2_s2
Those two parts replace the original side_RT_panel_GB2 part. You need to print with supports for the bigger part ("touching buildplate" support is enough). - bottom_frame-MOTOR_s1 and bottom_frame-MOTOR_s1
Those two parts replace the original bottom_frame-MOTOR part. I didn't made a split version of the "non-motor" part since there are almost the same (one of the holes on the bottom is bigger; even if you're not planning to add a motor you can probably use this version). You need to print with supports for both parts ("touching buildplate" support is enough).
The triangular rim and slot in the middle part of the joint are a little hard to clean (sorry) but the good news is they don't add any significant structural integrity to the assembled frame so if you clean them too much you'll probably be ok (they are just there to prevent the bottom to bent when you press inward next to the joint).
Some note about the top frame:
While the top frame will fit on a 200x200mm printbed, you will have less than 1mm of clearance on the long side, which will prevent you to use a brim.
Now, printing something that big without a brim can be challenging.
I recommend using "hold down circles" if you can.
If you're using Cura, I made a small utility to generate a "2D brim" that worked fine for this piece. You can find it there: https://github.com/LeFauve/X-Brim-extender-for-Cura
I didn't finish printing every parts yet, but I'm pretty sure those are the only ones that pose problem with a smaller printbed.
Note that I'm doing only the trap! The pedal may have some parts needing a cut too (or not)
