I know, it’s almost useless. But I enjoy parametric CADding. And I’m in the “every problem has a 3D printed solution” phase of 3D printing.
I will, however, never ever print anything that’s just a plate with holes. That’s what the laser cutter is for. #3DPrinting #OnShape #Electronics
Double banana plug housing for my bench top power supply.
I wonder if I should print it in a single colour, in three colours on a dual extruder printer with a manual filament change after the middle plate is done, on the FabLab’s 5-filament Prusa XL, or just in three separate parts that I glue together. #3DPrinting #OnShape #Electronics
@brett I use SpaceMouse Wireless and it is great for both 2D and 3D navigation in #Fusion360, #SolidEdge, #OnShape, #PrusaSlicer, etc. It took me a couple of days to get used to it, of course. I like rotating the model and looking at it from all sides and angles, zooming in and out to check some corners, filets, etc.
Can you go without one? Yes, but it makes using these tools flawless and easier vs. with regular mouse. It works in many other apps, too, but its main strength is 3D navigation.
I kept getting strong Mario Odyssey so I made some cappy eyes and I cannot stop giggling!

Poor Bridget is an eater and cannot be trusted to wonder the house when we're out and about so we have recently got her the absolute largest crate we could for her while we're not home.
I am making her a magnetic water bowl that will mount to the side of the crate.
She loves having the bowl in there already and now we won't have to worry about it spilling all over the place.

So I worked out a modeling technique and with a pattern generating plugin I was able to model and print this structure which printed beautifully and can cover the whole print bed, and is SUBSTANTIALLY stronger than solid PLA would be at the same thickness.

Anyone who's worked with large prints can tell you that there are limits to what you can get away with successfully and what is a huge waste of plastic. To that end, I always found large solid walls and floors to have poor results.

This is going to be a nice little door spring for the dog crate so that the door can fail open, that way she can always go and lay down if she wants and will only be closed in if we intentionally want her to be in there.

Finished! Hopefully the plants like them and thrive in their new permanent homes
