Sewing Weights 160g

My Wife wanted to buy those Donut weights from a content Creator, but they were out of Stock, so I made her even heavier ones. Also iterated on the design.

If you use one of those fancy build plates with a pattern make sure to get a good adheasion with a bed Temp of 65-80°C with Pla. (Don't use Gluesstick if you want to have the pattern).On Picture 2 you can see such an effect on the underside. 

I also have a holder for these for the Ikea Skadis System you can find it here !

Design 1:

Flatter and easier to work around.

To get to the 160g of weight you need about 145g of small 2-3mm Lead-balls. Steel also works.

For example these or similar ones. 

You could also use small steel balls or else. I don't recommend sand, as a lot of it gets blown out if you don't turn off the fan at the bridging Layer.

Dimensions: 60 x 60mm at 20mm high

Print settings:

4 Walls and Pause at layer : (0.2mm layer heights) 83 or at 16.6mm

Use a Funnel to fill the fillmaterial inside.

Material: Pla and Petg works Fine, Abs or Asa should also work.

Design 2 (Old): 

Taller and potential more heavy, but not as easy to work around

Dimensions: 50 x 50mm x 42mm high

Print settings:

4 Walls and Pause at layer : (0.2mm layer heights) 198 or 39.6mm

These Fill up and can be around 200g heavy with Lead-balls or pellets. Steel also works.

For example these or similar ones .

Material: Pla and Petg works Fine, Abs or Asa should also work.
