OpenLOCK Hatchway Floor Tiles set - Sci-Fi / Industrial Square Grill (1 inch grid) by Riphaeus

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

This is a collection of Sci-Fi/industrial themed OpenLOCK hatchway floor tiles based on a 1 inch grid (actually 25.4mm per grid square, i.e. a 2 by 2 tile (E) is 50.8mm square). It includes at least one of each of the hatchway floor tiles from both the "Primary-Floors/Hatchway" and "Secondary-Floors/Hatchway" collections from the OpenLOCK 8.0 (May 2018) standard from printablescenery.com (in some cases multiple versions of individual tiles are included to allow more flexible alignment of the tiles with the floor grid, e.g. for a triangular tile there will be a version where each of the three sides lines up with the edges of the grid squares).
The 3D models are designed specifically for FDM printing with PLA, in that they have a designed internal volume(s) and the 3D models include removable support structures where they are necessary for FDM printing. (See the PDF file for information/ advice on FDM printing settings and support removal).
If anyone tries these I would appreciate feed-back on any printing issues resulting from the files (as opposed to issues with slicers or printer hardware, as I could potentially address the former but not the latter).
Printing
These hatchway tile 3D Models were designed for FDM printing with 0.2mm layer heights (and little advantage would be gained from printing at a higher resolution than that).
The models can be printed with minimal infill. As little as 5% infill works ((with the exception of the trapdoors that go into the hatchways, as they will need 20%+ infill).
No slicer generated support should be necessary (as the needed removable support has been pre-designed into the 3D models).
See the PDF file for more information/advice on hatchway assembly, FDM printing settings and built in support structure, locations and removal.
