Differences in Poikilos' Remix

(vs 3DCentralVA's version)

  • The pivot point is now the same on both sides so that both trays work properly (with changes to arms described below to fit better).
  • The catch (that retains the trays when folded) is now the same on both sides so that both work properly.
  • The arms of the trays...
    • ...have a square end, and the shaft width is even, which I think fits the aesthetic better.
    • ...now have built-in supports.
    • ...no longer hit the tower before opening all the way (due to hole changes above, and a different bottom to the arms).
    • ...are now flat so they look better. There was no point in being wider except to house the old flexible pins which are not present in this version.
    • ...have cleaner mesh characteristics and no longer have "zero faces" (tiny polygons which are boolean artifacts in this case).
  • The pegs are stepped, so they fit tightly in the tray's holes and loosely in the tower for easy movement.
    • There is also a version of the tray included that has built-in pegs.
  • Various parts are now have a more even appearance (equal wall widths, etc.).
  • The battlements are several times thicker so they don't break off easily.
    • I also made battlements available as a separate model in case you already printed the old one (Break off your old battlements and glue the new one on or weld it with a 3D pen).
  • 150% version (optimized with thinner walls for faster printing at this or similar scales)
    • ~196 mm tall!
    • print at 83.3333% (83 + 1/3 %; 163.3242 [163.3241 and 2/3] tall) for a ~1.25 scale version (~163 mm tall)
    • has thinner walls (1.44, so that the 1.25x version has 1.2mm walls for printing in 1 stride with 1.2mm wall thickness in the slicer).
    • top corners are conformed to a 22.5 and 19.62 (22.5-(1.44*2)) bevel with 8 sides (32 sided cylinders: "guide bevel outer.Cylinder" and "guide bevel inner.Cylinder").
    • See "Stats" below for print settings and times.
