Design for 3D-Printing

This looks interesting. An IBM XT clone with an e-ink display, 500-hour battery life, and solar charging. Hoping they add a BOM and STL files at some point.

Teaching LLMs how to solid model

I'm repurposing a USB endoscope I had sitting around. It's now a workbench microscope, strapped to a 3D-printed arm. I'm hoping this will reduce some eye strain from messing with all these fiddly little bits and pieces. #3dPrinting #3dDesign #electronics #ScribesAndMakers

“We don’t want stocky stock photos.”
That stuck with me. In a world full of generic imagery, authenticity stands out. My latest 3D piece was just share on Unsplash+ — a visual exploration of individuality.

Making an enclosure for my project (thermal camera with video overlay). I couldn't find STL files for a couple of the components, so modeled stand-ins. So far, everything fits into the bottom section. Waiting on the top section to finish printing.

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've been working on some new 3D things ahead of my Warrior Art Camp workshop next month, but none of it is quite ready to show yet, so here's a remote-control boy from a couple years ago instead
