A friend of mine came to me with a broken part from a Halloween decoration. His skeleton had a broken knee joint. And since the part was removable, he figured we should try to repair the thing, rather than thrown the whole thing out and buy a new one. Glue didn't do the trick, so it was time to make a new joint. So, I modeled a new joint based on the old joint.
The joint uses a Hirth joint for the locking mechanism, and a block with 4 counterbored holes to mount to the leg itself.
I modeled the thing in Shapr3d pretty quickly until it was time for the Hirth Joint. After a little searching,. I found a video by J Lake 3d that wound up being an excellent tutorial. This was also a good chance to try the generative render feature they recently added to Shapr3D (which actually worked amazingly well.
In order to make a functional part, I had to split the part down the middle so the layers were in the optimal orientation for strength. After a few test prints, I had the replacement :) The final unit was printed in solid ASA
I'm not sure if this will be a useful print for anyone else, but who knows?
Enjoy!
