First "practical" 3D print - counterweight shaft spacer
Recently invested in an Ender 3 printer, and have been tinkering learning the software and practising/experimenting slicing and print settings. I have a ton of ideas for little projects. Thought I'd start with simplest. I have a barbell weight for when I need additional counterweights with my 10" OTA on the mount. The internal diameter is about 1", so thought I'd print a spacer to make a more snug fit between the 18mm shaft and the 1" hole. Test print is in PLA (blue), but I'll do final print in PETG (red).
Modelling done in Tinkercad, slicing done in Cura. For more advanced prints I'll probably use Fusion360, but this simple print was fine with Tinkercad.
