I consulted Emilia Hb, an industrial and graphic designer on Fiverr, for a fresh perspective on connecting the design elements. Emilia’s enthusiasm and zeal provided a welcome boost. I will begin printing chair parts on March 11 and I hope to be finished in April. The files are available for download on Thangs for those interested in collaborating on this project. Contact me via this blog or Thangs to receive an invitation.
Update August 1, 2024
There has been a delay with printing the files. I am trying to troubleshoot an issue I’m having with the CR10 mini. I may have found a solution (I haven’t tested it yet); however, a few of the parts require a machine with a larger build volume. The best option may be to buy another printer instead of searching for someone to print the parts at a reasonable price. If I do purchase a printer, I will get rid of the two printers I have now (I don’t have the space) and build an enclosure cabinet. I hope to have the chair printed before the end of this year.
Update March 20, 2025
I was unable to find someone who could print parts at a reasonable price. I did get rid of the other printers and bought another one, but it does not have a bed large enough to print all of the parts. I have all of the filament I need for the chair; however, I will not attempt to print the parts until I have purchased a printer with a larger print bed. This means, I may not print this iteration of the chair at all. I have another design in mind that will not require a larger print bed.
