I remixed this model from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2272830 by https://www.thingiverse.com/Cronos-FDM

  • The first few renders have additional detail not captured in the 3D models
    • The PCB is more simple than the renders
    • The words on the display do not print
  • The speaker grill was changed by the author as the tiny holes did not print well

Notes: 

  • When I sliced the PCB in Orca Slicer the speaker grill mounting holes were incomplete. I was still able to attach it as the nuts covered enough to clamp it down. 
     
  • I painted the PCB a textured silver, but I would have printed it in a bronze filament if I had it available.
     
  • My modeling skills are nearly non-existent and this was accomplished through trial and error in Fusion.
     
  • I was unhappy with the multi-piece design of the original and decided to combine the cover and the display arm together. 
     
  • I also changed the display arm to be more accurate to the show. Removing the arrows and remaking the button.
     
  • I changed the button to allow it to be printed separately as well so I could make it in red.

Printing:

  • PLA for all pieces is fine. PETG was used for the display and the button as it is what I had on hand.
     
  • Infill: I did 15% for all pieces except the button and display can be printed higher. I would print the button at 50% or higher to make the pegs more durable. I also printed the button at 50% speed for my printer. (Flashforge Adventurer 5m)
     
  • Supports are needed for the following parts.
    • Scouter_Body
      • Print with the ear piece hook up and off of the bed
      • I was unable to print this piece with the ear piece hook on the bed
    • Scouter_Display_Arm_Cover_Combo_Improved
      • I painted supports myself, but you only need them on the bottom edges and bottoms of screw holes (auto generated should work fine)
         
  • The parts are all oriented as they should be printed within the plated files.
  • Please use the plated files to print or at least look at them to see the proper orientation.

     
  • I print on a Flashforge Adventurer 5m with a .4 nozzle
    • PLA
      • 220 C nozzle
      • 55 C Bed
         
    • PETG
      • 260 C nozzle
      • 70 C Bed
         

Materials for assembly:

  • 3d Printed Parts
  • 4x Countersunk M3 x 12
  • 4x Round Cap M3 x 16
  • 4x M3 nuts

Assembly Instructions:

  1. Use the M3 x 12 screws to attach the speaker grill to the scouter body.
  2. Attach the PCB to the opposite side of the scouter body on the M3 x 12 screws using the M3 nuts.
  3. Attach the Scouter cover and display arm combo to the Scouter body over the PCB using the M3 x 16 screws. Go slow to make sure you don't strip the plastic in the body.
  4. The speaker pad, button, and display can all be push fit together.
