Walter Reed National Military Medical Center has become the first point-of-care institution to secure FDA clearance for a patient-specific 3D-printed titanium cranial plate. Developed with support from 3D Systems and the Defense Health Agency, the implant will be used to treat US active duty personnel and warfighters suffering from traumatic head injuries worldwide. https://www.tctmagazine.com/walter-reed-medical-center-to-treat-patients-with-3d-printed-titanium-cranial-implant-after-fda-clearance-is-secured/ #3Dprint #3Dprinting #Healthcare

TL;DR: I printed a small mount for using Continuity Camera with an Apple Studio Display. Because of course the best camera for the display is the phone already in your pocket, and of course mounting it neatly still needs another part.

This one is less repair and more “why is the expensive setup still slightly awkward?”. Very much on brand for Mac accessories.

The problem

Continuity Camera is genuinely useful. The iPhone camera is usually much better than the webcam in a display, and macOS makes the software side surprisingly painless.

The physical side is the annoying bit. The phone needs to sit in the right place, not slide around, not look too ridiculous, and preferably not require buying yet another little Apple-adjacent accessory.

The print

Local file: ContinuityCameraMountStudioDisplay.3mf.

Printed on the Prusa Core One in PETG: 0.20 mm layer height, 0.4 mm nozzle, 15% infill, two perimeters, support material enabled.

PETG makes sense for something clipped to a display: a bit less brittle than PLA and less likely to get sad if the office gets warm.

Result

Draft note to self: add which iPhone this was for, whether it works with a case, and whether the mount marks or grips the Studio Display cleanly.

If it works well, this is a good MacConsultant-style print: small, specific, and cheaper than turning a simple mounting problem into another shopping exercise.

Questions before publishing: which iPhone model/case? Does it hold the phone securely? Any photo of it on the Studio Display?

3D printed a case for my #MiSTerFPGA reminiscent of the #Commodore #Amiga600 case. You bet I'm running the Minimig core on this bad boy, and various #Sega systems like the #MegaCD. Next up is making an arcade joystick for the #MAME cores, 3D printers are creating a case as we speak. #3DPrinting

I haven't had a chance to test it just yet, but I slapped together a quick Orca Slicer / Bambu Studio post-processing script to inject a configurable pause (default 1 minute) after each ironing layer (except the last). My hope is that this will lead to a much better surface finish on face-down stacked prints (e.g. alternating #openGrid base plates). Will update when I have an opportunity to actually use it in a print. 🤞

I am so excited! To go from a rough prototype to actually printing the head is just... Amazing.

Printing it in PETG, cuz I'd like this to be easier to print.

I took the liberty of pre-generating stacks of heights 2-9 for base plate sizes 4x4 through 9x9. There are 3MF files for each plate size that contain all the stack heights, built with OrcaSlicer.

I've stood up a #Manyfold instance to self-host my #3DPrinting models! The federation story seems woefully incomplete, unfortunately, but otherwise it's a pretty decent system. I can't say I agree with their file organization structure decisions (no folders, but model files are automatically split into groups based on file name stems).

I'll probably be linking here first from now on for my models, though I'm uploading them to Thingiverse beforehand so that I can use the import feature of Manyfold and avoid double data entry.

I've updated my #3DPrinting stack generation script to include an `alternate` flag, which flips every other mesh upside down while stacking. This should hopefully allow me to print stacks of e.g. #openGrid base plates!
