14" x 5" Snare drum shell (With mostly printable lugs)

EDIT: If you want to use this shell with REAL lugs that are made of metal, please use the SCALED version, OR you will have to make your own 3mm spacers/gaskets for whatever 2" lugs you plan to use. So sorry about that. 

“Scaled” Lugs tested and working on a regular 14" shell as of 4-25-24

 _____________________________________________________________________________________________

Well this thing has been proven in the field now, but it is a beast of a print.

I present the prototype: A fully functional 14x5 snare drum shell that accepts standard 14" 8 hole rims, has 2" holes for lugs, and has 2mm deep snare beds. Comes in three different shell thicknesses from 5 to 7mm, and is most definitely NOT a toy. 

Requires at least a 400mm bed. Brim on both sides is highly recommended. Usually ends up slicing around 1050g. If someone were to remix this in a way that allowed it to be printed on smaller printers, that would be fine with me. The holes for the lugs might have to be drilled out, depending on your printers' individual tolerances. 

Tested in PLA+, regular PLA, and PETG at 100% concentric and with 4 perimeters and 33% cubic (to get it under 1kg).

For the printable lugs I recommend at least 5x0.4mm perimeters and 33% of gyroid or cubic infill, but any infill will probably do. Support depends on whether your printer can handle the bridge or not. Any 12-24 nut or locknut will fit. Gaskets really should be TPU or something with some squish.

NOTE: This snare retainer is discontinued, but the Gibraltar SC-SBE end plate will fit if you can drill out the holes a little bit. Or you can heat up the metal and thermally fit the end plate.
