Use A Gap-Cap To Embed Hardware In Your Next 3D Print

Embedding fasteners or other hardware into 3D prints is a useful technique, but it can bring challenges when applied to large or non-flat objects. The solution? Use a gap-cap. The gap-cap technique…

@freecad my #freecadfriday is a bit of a cheat, I ran a #FreeCAD workshop last night and had 2 new people rock up with Win11 machines and fresh first time ever installs of FreeCAD 1.1. We all modelled a coffee scoop together and they had a great experience with no real issues. Awesome! And we #3Dprinted our scoops as well!
Patting myself on the back for using a screw to join two #3dprinted parts instead of trying to do it as one big thing.

B727-200 - with and without winglets 1:500 - FDM

The B727-200 is an iconic trijet airliner, easily recognizable by its T-tail configuration and three rear-mounted turbofan engines (two on the fuselage sides and one center-line fed via an S-duct). Its key design features include swept wings and a built-in airstair below the rear engine, allowing for independent operations at airports with minimal ground support equipment.

These versions have lower detail, no panel lines, no engine blades, and use thicker walls. - SLA 1: Printed on an SLA machine. These include antennas, include engine blades, have thinner walls, but still do not have panel lines. - SLA 2: Same as SLA 1, but with added panel lines for higher surface detail.

Good news: Even though my new #ErgoMechKeyboard design uses 16mm vertical spacing, both my Choc v1 Chicago Stenographer #keycaps and my (preferred) Choc v1 KLP Lamé saddle (#3DPrinted at JLCPLC in resin) work just fine. I was worried I'd not be able to use this new #MechanicalKeyboard without ordering some even more niche minimal-y spaced keycaps. l'll get some matching 1.5u wide caps done at some point...

Bad news: Broke the stem of yet another doing the swap - these things are fragile! Push from below, don't pull!

B777-200 1:750 - FDM

The Boeing 777-200 is a long-range, wide-body twinjet known for pioneering the ETOPS (Extended-range Twin-engine Operational Performance Standards) certification, allowing it to fly routes previously restricted to three- or four-engine aircraft. Its distinctive landing gear features six wheels per main bogie, a design choice necessary to distribute its significant weight on standard taxiways and runways. Here’s what each label means: - FDM: Printed on an FDM machine. These versions have lower detail, no panel lines, no engine blades, and use thicker walls. - SLA 1: Printed on an SLA machine. These include antennas, include engine blades, have thinner walls, but still do not have panel lines. - SLA 2: Same as SLA 1, but with added panel lines for higher surface detail.
