St Patrick's Day is right around the corner, and I thought arming yourself with clovers and horseshoes may bring some luck...why not! 🤣

I couldn't decide on one design, so I made 4.

3 spinners, and one 3 leaf shamrock.

* The green PLA is Printbed, but I'm not going to share the gold stuff because the adhesion is blah, but looks great for the print.Looking forward to seeing some fun "Lucky Charms" soon. -Dan BONUS DOWNLOADS are HERE!!! https://www.patreon.com/posts/bonus-files-here-88548096

Thanks Dan, these are super cute, I love 4 leaf clovers :)

William Hargraves

That horse shoe charm is awesome. I know plenty of equestrian riders that will love them

Carla Schrum

printing a few now ty so much I love them. I am Irish so this is so cool to me!

Ted Chichester

Where is the Leprechaun to go with his lucky charms? I like these. Keep up the good work.

Max

wow very cool! i’ve got a lot to print when my printer fixed lol

Allen Smith

Those will be cool on my Bambu - when it gets here next month! lol

TheCraftyLycan

Would love to find a non silk gold filament to print the shoe in. Something tough enough to survive as a keychain.

can you drop the last layer of the clover by one layer so we could print this in two colors using the color change setting. the way it is now if you try to do a color change at the last layer of the clover part of the horse she comes out the same color as the clover

R&B Creations

I wish I could make this work with color change too, but I don't know what you are asking for. I can't see how to make a color change work

Jodi Howell

These look great! I’m not sure when we get to vote again, but I would love to see a Monkey!

Samantha

Thanks! I'm printing the regular clover on the resin printer. :)

Taylor

Thanks Dan! Any chance you could provide a 2 piece version? For those of us without a Bambu :)

Geeksandpaint

im new here and love the designs!

Mark Madrid

These are awesome Dan, thank you!

Dan

Hey Taylor, I think you should be able to use mesh tools in cura and split it into separate parts. Let me know.

Kelly Rapley

Made some for my mom and her Bingo friends they love them.

Taylor

I have split it into parts, but the clover leaf and the sides are one piece. I could print separately, but I’d have no way to attach the clover to the ring/horseshoe so that it could spin

william tyre jr

hay way you can make a file that alows you to glue in the posts so thows of us with single extruders can print in 2 colors ....i mostly make these for my kids class and painting them all is just not in the time budget

LTJoJo

If you figure it out, please share what you ended up doing. I want to print two color using my Kobra but can't see a simple way to do it with this model

Bret Bell

Hey there again Dan. This is Bret I just recently bought a shark dual color single extruder printer. I'm working my way up to the bamboo. But my question is is there any way to get the bases of the print? I need to have two identical prints but with the parts edited that I need different colors so I can merge them together. Do you have any advice for me? Maybe how would I edit a print to get just the pieces I need different colors?

LTJoJo

I think I found a way to make this work for folks who don't have a Bambu and want separate colors for the horseshoe and clover. I split the model in Cura using Mesh tools, imported the clover into Tinkercad and split that piece into three: the clover with holes and two pegs. I'll try printing it tonight to see how easy it is to assemble (will require superglue the way I've got it designed)

Dan

I did make a similar suggestion to a couple folks. I noticed that Cura does allow you to add printers and many of them are already on there. So once your printer is loaded, using the mesh tools will allow you to split into pieces. Using shift and select, you can group several and assign to one or more extruders by right clicking the mouse and selecting. It can also be sliced in Cura assuming your machine is loaded. Let me know how it goes. Really hoping we can get the designs functional on all types of multi-color machines :)

Dan

I just replied in another post and maybe this will help you too? Trying to find a work around to splitting the file into two or more stls. That is very time consuming unfortunately. "I noticed that Cura does allow you to add printers and many of them are already on there. So once your printer is loaded, using the mesh tools will allow you to split into pieces.

Dan

The posts are built in to print as one piece for sturdiness. I always design print-in-place and no supports as my business model. But I keep getting lots of requests to start piece mailing stuff. So I will likely start introducing some variations of things moving forward. Baby steps, haha.

LTJoJo

Unfortunately my Kobra is a single color extruder (but I've got a solid process to do color swaps). Best I can do is extract the clover from the horseshoe or circle and then modify the model to print completely separate and attach later.

Dan

I'm working on a way to make the vars detachable and will update you as soon as possible. So folks with single extruder can still print with two colors!

Matthew Greenfield

I bet if one were to split it into two prints, one for the clover with pegs, and one for the horseshoe or other part, and then paused and dropped the clover inside at the right layer timing, it'd be possible to have the green clover brass horseshoe on a single color printer! Might ruin the point of single piece print in place perhaps, but I think it might work if done carefully!

Hope

I was just asked for a monkey today haha

LTJoJo

I got it to work this afternoon. Basically split the knobs off of the clover and made holes to mate. I plan to super glue but the fit is tight enough you don't HAVE to glue it. I can shoot you the files if you like (although I'm sure your solution will be better ;))

LTJoJo

Ooh that's a good idea!

Eilonwis

OHHH, great!!! It would be great to make a rose for Mothers day! LOVE ALL OF YOUR IDEAS!

usr2284a

Can’t wait!

sNp

I like that idea.

Jay Butcher

I've been asked about a shamrock guy for St. Patricks day like the Heart for Valentines day. Would be awesome.

TheCraftyLycan

Silk is very brittle. The weakest of all pla filaments. I did however find that there are some really nice gold PETG filaments on amazon. From here out all my keychains are going to be PLA+ like cookiecad or PETG.

Terri Trotter

Any way to get these with the FF on the back so you get promoted with these? Love them. Since they print out under 10gm I use these as a bonus for customers and would love that you are getting credit on the tags

Chris & Tracy Mathews

I asked for a shamrock guy too. Came in last on the Feb 5th poll. :(

usr2284a

Any idea on when this may release? :)

Dan

So I started making one and it was so goofy. Not totally abandoning the idea, though. I may bring it around next year :)

Char Laverdiere

Love these spinners where might I find then to print
