It’s funny, I can’t draw anything. At all. Like it almost defies belief how incompetent I am. But 3D CAD, I picked up very quickly and really enjoy it. It must use a different part of the brain, one that I’m not missing for a change.
I’ve started watching these speed modeling tournaments online. It’s fascinating seeing two experts competing for speed and accuracy, especially when they’re using different software.
@trually I voluteer as well but @pubultrastar is probably (almost certainly) better at it than me. I do tend to be pretty good at teaching what I am competent with though.
Please message me your email addresses and I’ll invite you!
BTW, I just ordered some sunlu wood filament. It should be here tomorrow early morning. I found a couple of things for around our home in Maker World that I want to try.
Well, I think we were discussing how to make polyhedral connectors. Maybe we can focus on designing things to export for the laser. I am always willing to show how I’ve done any of my designs. Slicer is also really fun to play with. Gridfinity. SVG Import. Using the mesh tab. So many options. Intro tips and tricks for 3d modeling might be a good start.
I need to make a bunch of gridfinity bins for the top drawer of my Husky GF table.
(I’ll prob try to make a few generic ones and then clean out my drawer later and make some tool-specific bins like one for my calipers, mini heat gun, etc.)
I’ve tried a couple of times to get F360 working for me, and never succeeded. Every video I’ve found tells me to click on things I don’t have. So if you do this at a time I can come, I’d definitely be interested!
I had my first nozzle “blob” with it. It paused the print when it went to change nozzles. It looks like it was not able to successfully get the nozzle off.
I created a support ticket with BambuLab and now I am just waiting to hear how to proceed. I don’t want to make things worse or break anything.
These have been so much fun! I am so happy to have a “Helmet Class” printer! I have been donating them for auctions and giving them as gifts. The only one we still have in the house is the Stormtrooper helmet I gave to my son.
hah, i need one of those helmets long enough to take a picture or ten. i have a modded omega watch that i call the “stormtrooper” that i could photograph with it.
