The Frame for version 2

Cary Christie sphere

I needed a open frame to work on the droid with, given the confinements of the hub solution I presently have, Cary's was a clear choice.



To assemble the sphere, you're going to need to order some parts. The part listing below uses McMaster-Carr links.

Hardware needed to assemble (as from the club website)

Brass Heat Set Inserts (M3x.5) 24
Stainless Lock Nuts 3MM 60
Stainless Low Profile Socket Head Cap Screw (M3x.7) 24

Stainless Washers 3MM

Print Settings used


Average print time is 10-14 hours for 3 pieces, 24 total pieces.
I used a total of 3 rolls of filament.
I went ahead and sped up the printing using the following settings:
  • 5 shells (perimeters), 3 top and 3 bottom
  • .3mm layer height
  • 20% infill
  • PLA was printed at 210c
