How to build it
|
|
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
1. Go to a hardware store of choice

|
|
2. Try to get some 2 component epoxy and nuts

|
|
|
and some plastic tubing with an inner diameter of 70mm (*DN75 HT-Rohr* works fine).
|
|
|
|
3. Fire up your 3D-Printer and print the lid, top
|
|
|
|
and bottom segment of the capsule.
|
|
|
|
20-25% Infill works fine and provides enough stability.

|
Also you should be able to print them without support material.
|
|
|
|
The models already contain all necessary support structures.

|
|
|
4. Remove the support structure (marked red) from lid and top.

|
|
|
|
5. Clean up the latches on the lid and the channels on the top part.
|
|
|
|
Make sure the lid fits well (the latches may need to be filed down).
|
|
|
|
6. Cut about 150mm long piece of tube.
|
|
|
|
7. Glue top end bottom to the tube piece using 2 component epoxy.
|
|
|
|
8. Go get some Mate or something, while the epoxy sets...
