Gelatin beaker support by roy_blade

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

I designed and printed this support at the request of a friend who wanted a rack to display 18 large "plastic test tubes" filled with eatable gelatin to be part of a children's party table decor. The final result was great and it was great fun for the kids.
These files include everything you need for the support, but the test tubes are not included (we bought them on the local market but I guess they are like this one: http://a.co/5AekGUA ).
Because the larger lower disk is too big, I divided it into two halves that need to be glued together. The two halves are identical, so you just need to print such file twice. Once you insert the large disk through the top cylinder, I suggest you also glue them together. The small disk on the top doesn't have to be glued to the cylinder, but if you choose to do so, please remember to do it after you've inserted the large disk.
I used rafts and full supports to print all parts except for the small disk.
This is one of my first designs made on Autodesk Fusion 360... a very good upgrade from Tinkercad that I've been using so far. Fusion 360 definitively allow for a level of complexity that is much more than enough considering what domestic 3D printing machines are able to do. Hope you enjoy it.
