What did you 3D print today?

Ooooohhhhhh, is this a file you will be sharing with the class? Awesome modeling work!

Took a little time to reverse engineer some unobtainium

My take on a Karni style snatch grip.

If at first you don't succeed, then try again at 75% speed.

Attempted to print some sheridan feed parts, and re print my co2 lever holder out of petg last night..

Something came loose.. running it again at 75% speed while at work today..

At least the Spring bridge Alexndl designed finished. I can attest to his design skills. His sheridan parts are all top notch. He inspired me to attempt a spring feed.

Getting into the Easter thing! Trying out a few different style and resins.

superman, I had to search for it. It's under the DESIGN/UTILITIES/ADD-INS/Scripts and Add-Ins/SpurGear

There are two, I used the bottom one with the more common icon. The blue "C" icon didn't seem to do anything. I just ran the script at the time, but you can go to the "Add-Ins" tab (vs the "Scripts" tab) and have it loaded to your SOLID/CREATE menu. You still have to do that every time you open Fusion.

This was surprisingly like FreeCAD .20

Me neither. I honestly wanted a series of gears up the side of my lever project initially. Had I know designing them was this easy, I likely would have attempted it.

Nice, I may have to look for that tool. Don't think i have seen that.

My first custom gear, er... Draw to spec. I missed the oscillating of my old garage fan. I opened the base and found this spur gear broken. I used the gear generator in fusion 360 to design a new one and printed it in petg. It helps that the original gear was pretty bad. It worked on the first try. I think this gear has a better tooth profile than the original, which wasn't actually curved.

The "create anything" level I poke at every now and then is in Blender. I've made some really ugly sculptures in blender and printed them. Even with a tablet I find it difficult, but it's fun.

Had a sleepover with my sisters kids. They all lit up when we talked about 3d printers. Spent the duration of their time churning out part requests.

There is something uplifting about hearing a 6 year old say " That's so satisfying ." When peeling tree supports off. And " Thats so mesmerizing." As the printers run in front of her eyes.

They would scream "SLICE!" before I could get to the button in Cura.

And one of the 8 year olds said, "So wait you can basically make anything you can imagine?"

I replied pretty much if you can draw it right. And it was like a light bulb went off in their head.

I really hope I inspired them to be creative like I've grown to be.

I did model a small plastic coin for the bee piggy bank with the 6 year olds initials in them, but I ran out of time to print them. Ill have to pay the kiddos a visit soon.. darn..

Working on a thad adapter prototype. First try seems like it'll work.

finally got around to setting up the printer I got at Christmas, after several failed prints due to not reading directions well enough, I finally had my first successful print. just a simple unicorn Keychain for one of my daughters. still much to learn, but I'm having a blast.
