It\u2019s that time of year again, time for the Goleta California Lemon Festival<\/a>! \u00a0That means time for my family to not only go, but to do a lot of volunteering and helping out. \u00a0This year I decided to make my wife some lemons to go over her \u201cspace buns\u201d hairstyle she sometimes sports.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As always I started by opening up Fusion 360<\/a> and modeling out what I wanted. \u00a0I drew a line that looked like the profile of half a lemon. \u00a0I selected the line and used the Offset tool to make a copy of the line that was a few millimeters smaller. \u00a0I selected the first line and did a rotation of it around the center-line (the line that connected the top point of the outer part of the line to the bottom point) for 360 degrees. \u00a0This gave me a very possible lemon shape. \u00a0I then selected the inner curve, again did a rotation around the same center-line and this time let it cut that shape out of the first shape, leaving me with a hollow lemon. \u00a0That was the plan, I actually had to go back and modify this line to leave more of the interior intact at the top and bottom for later (Fusion 360 makes it so easy to go back and modify parts once you realize you needed to do something earlier that you forgot to do).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I needed the lemon in two pieces so she could put it over the bun easily, so I selected the body and used one of the origin planes that neatly bisected it to split the body into 2 new bodies that were exact mirrors of each other.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Since this was going to cover her hair buns it would need a hole for the hair to go through. I made a cylinder perpendicular to the plan I used for splitting the lemon in half and extruded through on side of the lemon in a cut, so it removed a perfect half circle from each half of the lemon.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now to be able to have the halves attach to each other. \u00a0Enter one of my favorite tools for this function: magnets<\/a>! \u00a0I hid one half of the lemon,\u00a0drew two circles on the ends of that half that were the diameter of the magnets i was planning on using (plus 0.25 mm), un-hid the first half and did a double sided, symmetrical cutting extrusion of the circles so it cut matching holed in both h<\/span>alves at once. \u00a0(You can see why I had to go back and modify that internal cut to leave space for the magnets!) The <\/span>magnets<\/a> are disk shaped and 1\/2″ x 1\/16″.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Printing was great. \u00a0Well, almost great. \u00a0I had a hard time getting the first half off the print bed and forgot to re-calibrate the bed for the next print. \u00a0That print ended up being too close to the bed and \u00a0the print would NOT come off the BuildTak<\/a> sheet and ended up ruining the sheet. \u00a0Thankfully they are easily replaceable<\/a>. \u00a0The good news is I found this amazing replacement<\/a> that fits my printer more than well enough and makes the whole process of printing and popping the prints off the bed 1000x easier. \u00a0The downside is I HAVE to re-calibrate between each and every print, but it is a small price to pay for how well the prints release from the bed now.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I printed in yellow PETG<\/a>. \u00a0PLA would have been fine, but i had yellow PETG hanging around, so I used that. \u00a0I printed these at 0.3 mm and a 40%\u00a0infill, which is ridiculous, a 55 or 10% would have been more than enough, but I wasn\u2019t paying attention to the infill and I had been working at a high infill percentage for a structural part I was doing at the same time. \u00a0That made the final prints a little heavier than I wanted, but all in all I was super happy with how they came out.<\/p>\n

Final result was a pair of lemons that looked like lemons, fit over my wife\u2019s \u201cspace buns\u201d hair style perfectly and got a ton of compliments all day! \u00a0Mission accomplished!<\/p>\n
