Re: [M100] Model 100 battery cover

[David Grissom]

Yeah,  The .stl is spot on in size and appearance.
To combat my boredom from retirement, I did a print today using PETG (I was out 
of ABS).   I used the best setting I could find (.1 mm layer height, 100% Fill, 
supports, and brim).

The finished door looked great.  After careful removal of the supports, I tried 
it.  One of the side supports broke almost immediately.  It still holds on well 
with a single support.  

The side clips are too weak using PETG (and based on the designers comments 
PLA).   I believe I can redesign it slightly with a slightly different side 
supports/clips or as single screw to secure the lid into the case.  The screw 
could make it more difficult to change the batteries.

Was it resin printer or filament printed? Any pics? any links from where you 
bought it?
I'm positive one that could survive many many openings could be made with the 
right technique.

Perhaps only marginally on topic, so please forgive me, but I did a small run 
of holiday cards (about 20 of them) in Print Shop on a Commodore 64 last year.  
I had blown up my dot matrix printer in a carelessly botched repair attempt so 
I had to do some contortions with printer emulation hardware to get them to 
paper.

Several recipients said they knew who the card was from before unfolding it.  I 
guess I have a reputation.

Re: [M100] Model 100 printer woes

[Lloyd Johnson]

Thanks.

I've purchased Avery labels before and noticed they have templates but I 
haven't used them.

I've always felt a little nervous about rerunning sheets of labels through an 
ink jet feeder.  Should one of the unused labels come loose, clearing the 
resulting jam  could be a big mess.

Anyway, I thought for the nostalgic aspect, I was going to use the old dot 
matrix printed labels for Christmas cards this year.   I always thought it was 
a bit tacky to receive Christmas cards with a computer printed address label so 
to be unique, I would use the dot matrix printer for my labels.   And those 
that I include letters in the card will find their letter also printed on a dot 
matrix printer just like I used to do in the 80s.

I just get the Avery (or whatever brand labels you get) template online for the 
form-factor of the labels that you have, put my content into each box, and then 
print them. Peel the labels off individually, keeping the borders of the whole 
sheet intact. Then keep the unused part. Next time, put new content into the 
boxes for the labels you haven’t printed, and run the sheet through your 
printer again. You can keep doing this until you’ve used all the labels.

Lloyd,  There is an algorithm for printing fewer than one page-full of
labels.  Let me see if I can find it; I remember coming across it but where
and when is a little fuzzy.

The algorithm allowed for starting in the middle of a page, as I recall,
and I think it also allowed you to define the size and number of labels per
sheet.

I'll post back if I find it.

Certainly interested if they are listed for sale.

I was looking into trying to cast new ones that might be stronger, the
printed ones are too weak as mentioned.   The available plastic materials
etc are getting better.

Ken,

 

A whole stack! You should put them on eBay. I’m sure I’m not the only person 
that needs one…

Thanks, I’ll be waiting for your eMail.
