If you enjoy vinyl records and Iron Man, you will like this 3D printable model of a 45 record adapter with an Iron Man face design. This adapter lets you play your 7 inch records with a larger hole on a standard record player. It also shows your admiration for the genius billionaire playboy philanthropist and his high-tech suit.
The model is designed to print in three colors using pause at height. The base is black and the top has two layers: a red base and a gold or yellow top. The Iron Man face design on the top makes it look like a mini version of Iron Man’s helmet. The model is 1.5 inches (38mm) around with a 9/32 inch (3,57mm) hole in the center.
To print this model, you will need a 3D printer that supports pause at height and dual extrusion. You can use any filament type and color that you like, but I recommend PLA for ease of printing and durability. You will also need some slicer software that can generate the gcode for your printer.
The model is easy to print and does not require any supports or rafts. You can adjust the layer height and infill according to your preferences, but I suggest using 0.2 mm layer height and 20% infill for good quality and strength. The print time should be around 20 minutes depending on your settings.
To print in three colors, you will need to pause the print at different heights and change the filament color. You can do this manually or use a plugin or script that automates the process for you. For example, if you use Cura as your slicer software, you can use the post-processing plugin to add pause at height commands at layers 10 (black), 15 (red) and 20 (gold or yellow) (assuming you use 0.2 mm layer height). Then you can swap the filament color accordingly and resume the print.
Once the print is done, you can remove it from the bed and enjoy your new Iron Man record adapter. You can use it to play your favorite tunes or display it as a cool decoration.
