I've found some issues while printing original model and ended up re-creating everything except ring & numbers =)

Details:

• No rings and numbers provided (use from original model or from other re-mixes);

• Parts should be compatible with original model;

• Original model tolerance is good for my calibrated printer so I only changed tolerance a little bit. If you are having tolerance issues with original model (you cannot fit one part into another) -- you will most probably have the same issue with my model. As a workaround you can try to downscale tube (XY) and clip (YZ) a little bit directly in slicer;

• Spring re-designed and is stronger. It is supposed to be printed from PETG (PETG is less prone to bend over time and more flexible). If you use PLA the spring might be a bit too strong (I have not even tried this);

• Chamfers added to all parts so it is easier to join parts as their edges are not as sharp as before;

• Side parts simplified. This way you can iron their tops and this will look way better, imho;

• Side parts with separate arrows are added. Arrows could be printed in different colour and glued in with super glue;

• Cut for tube in the side parts not require any tricks for pringing any longer;

• Clip is a bit stronger;

• No funny cut at the ends of tube so it should not be any adhesion issues while printing tube vertically;

• Tube & clip for 4 rings added;

• STEP file containing all parts provided;

• Orca Slicer 3mf project file with settings I used for printing provided (original rings and flat numbers are used in the project).

Some tips for attaching digits to the rings:

1. Put numbers models flat on bed (you can use flat numbers model I mentined above) andprint them with elefant foot compensation 0.4mm on 2 layers (check attached 3mf project). This way digits will have chamfer at the bottom and it will be easier to put them down the ring's holes;

2. Use small butane torch and treat all the ring's holes to remove any strings and jaggies (a half a second should be enough for 2 neighbour digit's holes);

3. Cool the rings down;

4. Put a digit onto the ring (chamfer down) and slightly push it into corresponding hole with popstick, it should go down a bit;

5. Heat digit with butane torch for a half a second (do not overheat, the time depend on your torch so be ready to fail the 1st ring) and press it into the hole with wooden popstick;

6. Check if the digit is leveled with surface. If not -- repeat step 5;

7. Repeat for all digits;

8. Use modelling knife to cut of excesses if needed.
