The 'Kagami Mochi Adapter' is an item that allows people who are in a crouching position to use their lower back, abdominal muscles, and pectoral muscles to display the kirimochi in a forward-bent position. In the article below, you can check the contents of the commentary movie of 'Kagami Mochi Adapter' posted by Mr. xjoo92.

◆ Try to make a 'Kagami mochi adapter' with a 3D printer
Download the 3D data that is open to the public for free and actually try to make a 'Kagami mochi adapter'. This time, I will use the 3D printer ' Zortrax M200 ' that I used to repair the SD card with the GIGAZINE logo and the projector screen before.
First, get the 3D data from the distribution page below.
Kagami-mochi Adapter Convenient item that turns kiri-mochi into 'Kagami-mochi'.
3D data is distributed in STL format and must be processed into a format readable by the 3D printer using slicer software before printing with the 3D printer.
This time, I loaded the 3D data into the slicer software ' Z-SUITE ' distributed by Zortrax. In Z-Suite, you can set the materials used for printing, printing orientation, density, arrangement of support materials, etc. First, click 'PRINT SETTINGS' to make print settings.
After setting the printing orientation, material, density, etc. on the setting screen, click 'PREVIEW'.
Supports are then automatically added at the appropriate locations. In a 3D printer such as the Zortrax M200, which uses a
After loading the output file into the Zortrax M200 and starting printing, wait for several hours until completion while watching for malfunction.
When printing is completed, take it out with a spatula ......
Remove the support material using pliers or the like.
An accident occurred here. The left ankle of the 'Kagami Mochi Adapter' was broken due to the force applied when removing the support material. Also, there is a hole in the shin part of the right leg.
I thought that the ankle was broken because the density was not enough, so I changed the settings on the Z-SUITE to increase the density.
In addition, I thought that the angle of the right leg was the cause of the hole in the shin, so I changed the orientation during printing and adjusted the angle of the right leg.
When I tried printing for the second time with this setting, this time the right leg fell down during printing.
When I checked with Z-SUITE, it turned out that there was no support material set on the right leg, and it was in a state where it could fall at any time.
It is possible to add support materials manually, but I thought, 'Since I increased the density, it shouldn't be a problem if the angle of the right leg is steep.' I decided to try printing it.
You can check the state of the third print with the above settings in the following movie.
The third printing was successful. Finally, the 'Kagami mochi adapter' was completed.
Looking from the back like this. It is a mechanism to set mochi on this back part and bend down.
I tried bending mochi and sweets
I prepared a cut rice cake to realize 'Kagami rice cake' using the 'Kagami rice cake adapter' I made.
Take out the cut rice cake from the bag and set it on the back of the 'Kagami rice cake adapter' ......
By bending the mochi, we were able to create a 'kagami mochi'. It stands on its own with two legs.
Looking from the front like this. The muscular body firmly supports the mochi.
I prepared mintia, black thunder, caramel to bend other than kirimochi.
Kagami Mintia.
Black Thunder fits perfectly.
I tried to get caramel to hang in this condition, but ...
I couldn't bear the weight and fell over.
When bending heavy items such as caramel, you can put double-sided tape on the soles of your feet.
I also succeeded in bending the caramel by sticking it to the desk with double-sided tape.
When I actually made a 'Kagami mochi adapter' with a 3D printer, I was able to enjoy trial and error for problem solving and the sense of accomplishment when using the completed item. When using a 3D printer, there are many factors to be taken care of, such as the temperature and humidity of the room, but the joy of making things you want to make yourself is considerable. This time, I printed using the data created by xjoo92, but it seems like it would be fun to practice modeling and create your own 3D data.
In addition, the Zortrax M200 used this time has been discontinued, and at the time of article creation, 'M200 Plus' with wireless function added is available at Amazon.co.jp for 278,000 yen including tax.
