Comment on Philips to Offer Free Downloadable Files to 3D Print Replacement Parts - Core77
Vodulas@beehaw.org 1 day agoI don’t know what you’ve experienced, but I have been 3d printing things for about 6 years now. With any decently tuned printer, these would be fine for the use they will get. I have the one razor they have released a part for, and the 3d printed parts are not going to experience much in the way of force that would separate the layers. It doesn’t help that I don’t think they followed their own guidelines when printing the examples. The layer height is huge which makes the layer lines stand out. I bet that was so they could more easily be identified as 3d printed with an FDM printer, but it looks really bad.

I just measured the red ones original dimensions with calipers and the individual comb parts have 0.5mm at their thinnest and 1mm at their thickest. My 3D printing is not perfect, but i just dont see how that is gonna survive. Maybe i will try on the weekend and let you know how it went.

I’ll give it a shot too, since I have the razor for the one model they have released

It looks like they made those thin sections roughly 2x wider in the stl files to strengthen it. That makes me a little more optimistic.

It was a super fast print (about 16 minutes) so I went ahead. I think it’ll be fine, and I even had a random layer issue on the back side. Put it on the razor, and it used the angle of the blade to lock it in place, so I don’t think there will be much issue.
Lemmy is not letting me upload images on mobile, but I’ll see if I can do it on desktop
