#CAD

25 posts22 participants2 posts today

Für unsere Müllcontainerbox habe ich in #CAD ein Ersatzteil für den Verschluss erstellt (ich bin noch am Lernen) und es aus PETG gedruckt (mal gucken wie lange es hält sonst versuche ich es mit ASA).

So klappt der Deckel nicht mehr bei jedem großen Windstoß (davon gibt es hier reichlich) auf 😊 #3Dprinting

anyone know of a 3d print model for something designed to attach to a roll of flat material (like, paper/film/etc) for cutting it into rectangles? like, something with a straight guide and a little attached razor blade and such

Re: #3dprinting & #3dDesign

I've become ... 'better ' at it, but one of the core things I'm missing is how folks do design when it needs to work with other complex parts.
For example; My #3dprinter is basically a custom component at this point. I had to design the sled to use with the rails, every component outside of the bed-base and the extrusion frame is custom or customized.

I'm looking at making a big upgrade to the hot end but nobody makes my part, and I need a cooling solution. So how do I design a fan/duct system that mounts to my hot end mount, fits all the pieces and is the right length?

It seems incredibly daunting to have to #CAD up the entire assembly from scratch. But other folks do this... Somehow? If I look for cooling solutions on any print-sharing website there are thousands of them.

What am I missing here? 🙁

I'm a big fan of TinkerCAD
( tinkercad.com ), it's a great entry-level #CAD tool with an excellent interface (which is much more user-friendly than most professional CAD software). But the new Skatcch tool they recently introduced takes it up a level and allows for almost real paramertic design.
