![]() I imagine this decreases the lift it creates. ![]() The black disc in the picture and video was scaled to 80 so it would fit on my. This disc is flat on the top as where the Innova is curved up to a flat surface. The attached STL is 210mm in diameter which is the same diameter as the Innova. :) I designed it from scratch and it's certainly not exact. In order to have a flat surface to print the rims on and have a flight plate still fit on my build plate, there is about an inch section where the disc is flat on top before the dome of the flight plate begins. This as a flying disc modeled after an Innova Disc Golf Champion TL Fairway Driver (7 5 0 1). The main thing that suffers from this is the dome top. I then started editing the profile until I got something that would both fit on my printer and print with fairly clean overhangs. My printer did not handle the overhangs very well, and I did not want to go with support material as I didn't want to mess up the surface finish. I have since come to understand that the answer eluded me because it required a less typical design, or perhaps a design less bound by the parameters of perfection.īut seriously, when I did some initial prints of the profile based off the KC Roc, it didn't go very well. However, I was again frustrated by failure. ![]() The inevitability of its doom is as apparent to me now as a consequence of the imperfection inherent in every FDM 3D printer.Thus I redesigned it based on my printer's capabilities to more accurately reflect the varying grotesqueries of a 3D printed object. Disc golf anyone Yes, its a thing Freeski Open New Zealand came to us with a brief to print this branded. A triumph equaled only by its monumental failure. PRINTING ON 3D OBJECTS FREESKI OPEN FRIZBEE. 3D printing is only practical for prototypes. It is much more affordable to test shapes with printing. That said, weve used 3D printing to prototype our latest driver and the molded discs are flying very similar to the 3D prints so. This first disc I designed was quite naturally perfect it was a work of art, flawless, sublime. The plastic is often too brittle for tree hits and the surface is quite rough. From the dimensions of my Prusa i3 print bed I decided that I would split the rim into thirds and then a single piece central domed flightplate. Taking measurements off of the disc directly as well as using dimensions from the PDGA list of approved discs I was able to get a model of something that looked pretty close to the Roc. I originally used my X-out KC Pro Roc as a pattern for what my disc should look like.
