Description
Overview and production context
Introducing a 3D model of a spring-loaded holder designed to automatically compensate for surface height variations. The holder is intended for markers with a diameter of 15-17 mm, such as Posca. The design is optimized for printability and ease of assembly, without unnecessary decorative elements. The model includes mounting points for a standard compression spring (inner diameter 18-20 mm, free length 30-40 mm), ensuring smooth vertical movement of the marker assembly.
How to use this model
Use cases, fit and pre-production checks
This 3D model is ideal for 3D printing. Materials offering sufficient flexibility and strength, such as PLA or PETG, are recommended. Support structures may be needed during printing for overhangs, depending on the model's orientation on the build plate. After printing, the model is easy to assemble, requiring only the installation of the spring and marker. The model can also be used in games or AR/VR applications to create interactive scenes requiring realistic surface interaction.
The holder can be integrated into various projects, from automated drawing systems to demonstration stands. Its ability to adapt to unevenness makes it a versatile solution for holding a marker on a constantly changing surface. Consider using the model for educational purposes to demonstrate the principles of spring mechanisms and height compensation.
FAQ
Answers for this exact model page
What is the maximum marker diameter compatible with this holder?
The holder is designed for markers with a diameter of 15-17 mm, fitting popular brands like Posca.
What spring dimensions are required for the mechanism?
For correct operation, a compression spring with an inner diameter of 18-20 mm and a free length of 30-40 mm is needed.
Can this model be used for interactive art installations?
Yes, due to its mobility and adaptability, the model is excellent for creating interactive art objects or robotics projects requiring precise marker positioning on uneven surfaces.
What materials are best for 3D printing this holder?
PLA or PETG are recommended for 3D printing, as these materials offer a good balance of strength and the slight flexibility needed for the spring mechanism.
