tolerance will be the death of me: redesign one showed me that my tolerance was off, and that the area at the top to screw things in was simply too small for the printer and therefore also would not be very stable. Re did that design for version 3 and did tolerance for 0.1 mm… which should have been good (spoiler it still didn’t fit i rechecked my measurements I guess the printer simply needs more tolerance.) but it was not. I did add the upper area and made it 5 mm across on all sides. then added reinforcement pillars because after maybe 20 min of fanagaling the loft function, I still had some odd spaces that would not be stable so… pillar stability it is. Which after printing? looks fine and is acceptable in my mind. Though, because of the part that still didn’t fit with tolerance I did chop it off because I didn’t want to make another version right at that moment. (11pm) I used a Dremel and the circular blade bit. Doing my best to not injure myself and also had my safety glasses on wowie! After chopping some stuff off and then testing it, the idea works, tested then with holding together the preemptive lens holders and also works pretty well. the holder with no lenses will not be used, but the 0.55 and 0.1 will be. I might be able to improve them somehow but IDK yet. Biggest hard part is getting. them. to stay on? That’s a problem for later and horrible evil cad design. Also painted the outsides black to absorb stray light while the insides stay white to reflect light. bulb collator v3 (will be updated later)
