Grape 2 Case Printing

If you have 3D printing capabilities, the HamSCI Grape 2 Team needs your assistance!

The Grape 2 is close to being ready for release, but there is still some 'manufacturing' to be done.  Specifically, the Grape 2 Team needs help printing (4) case parts for the Grape 2 assembly.

We are looking for volunteers to provide materials and printer time to make about 22 sets. Shown below are the final products.  After printing, we'll ask you to ship them to the final assembly location (Cleveland, OH).

Suggested material and print specs:  1.75 MM PLA filament.  Quality set to 0.2mm and infill set to 15%.  Color?  What do you have available?  While we'd prefer the purple (it is a Grape receiver, after all) and yellow shown below, but we realize volunteers are donating material, so we don't want to dictate requirements.

Print time (varies by printer, of course):  Front/Back panels, about 1.5 hours each, or 2.5 hrs. if printed together.  Back Top Box:  About 5 hrs.  Front Top Box: About 2.5 hrs.

The (4) STL files are located here

The (3) gcode files for a Prusa MK3S+ printer are here (the gcode prints the Front and Back Panels as one piece, which are then broken apart.)

Time frame?  Start now, if possible (Feb 22) for delivery to Cleveland, OH, some time during the week of Feb 26th.  Shipping address:
