One is the main body and the other is the tip. This way less supports are needed and also the tips have better strength and usability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe files are given with the optimal orientation to be printed, especially for the tips since printing them this way makes them stronger, (layers are perpendicular to the force) more accurate, (the detail on the edge is important so that they fit between the strings but also not slide out on their own), and smoother so that they can slip easily between the strings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003ePrint Settings\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"detail-setting printer brand\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrinter Brand: \u003c\/strong\u003e                         \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eCreality\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e                                    \u003cpre\u003e\u003ccode\u003e                                            \u003cp class=\"detail-setting printer\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrinter: \u003c\/strong\u003e                     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnder 3\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/code\u003e\u003c\/pre\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e                                    \u003cp class=\"detail-setting rafts\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRafts: \u003c\/strong\u003e                         \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e                                    \u003cpre\u003e\u003ccode\u003e                \u003cstrong\u003eFilament:\u003c\/strong\u003e                 \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?url=search-alias\u0026amp;field-keywords=Creality+PLA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003e                    Creality PLA                    \u003c\/a\u003e                    \u003cbr\u003e                        \u003cp class=\"detail-setting notes\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes: \u003c\/strong\u003e                    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the main body:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e0,2mm layers\u003cbr\u003e20% infill (more makes assembly harder, less make it brittle for the application)\u003cbr\u003esupports enabled\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the tips:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e0,12mm layers (not critical)\u003cbr\u003e100% infill\u003cbr\u003esupports not needed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003ePost-Printing\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the assembly a toothpick (2mm diameter) is used as the shaft, CA glue for gluing the tips on the main body, and a spring with 6mm diameter, 5mm length compressed, and 15mm uncompressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst you can assemble the main body by flexing one part so that the other can pass through and then, by using some tape between the two halves (to avoid gluing them together) you can glue the tips on one at a time, so that you can align them easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe spring I used comes from an inject printer, but you can use any spring and glue it on the edges if it does not stay in place. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou may need to file the two overhangs on the main body in order for it to close completely, especially if you use less dense supports.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eHow I Designed This\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis was designed by simply looking pictures of the actual product and not by measuring, but it works fine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesign by adesillas on MakerWorld (license: BY).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/code\u003e\u003c\/pre\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Mymadmanlab","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67367322157360,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0987\/0809\/5280\/files\/0_9d023b11-ba87-4c93-aa15-10eec7485454.jpg?v=1784012888","url":"https:\/\/mymadmanlab.com\/products\/treble-papps-piano-mute","provider":"Mymadmanlab.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
