Here's a cool 3D printed thing I saw on Reddit.

The creator says they used Rhino3D + Grasshopper.

Rhino 3D su Linux: il supporto a Rhino Compute cambia finalmente lo scenario

Rhino Compute arriva su Linux nel ramo WIP di Rhino 3D e riaccende le speranze per un vero CAD professionale nativo.

Time for another 3D print round. I'm also planning to use the new possibly Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation compliant user-replaceable USB port from JAE...

making a hex key holder for my bandsaw and realizing there's a somewhat cursed shape involved. I started by making a simple tube sweep as the key to subtract from the holder, bent 90º so I could have them sit in little pockets.
But if you just do that, you end up with the top of the slot rolling back over itself, and you couldn't get the key out. Fine, just extrude another cylinder up further and subtract that.
But then there's still this little pinched in area between the straight tube and bent tube that needs to be handled with an extrusion from the bend radius and the centerlines of the strait sections. I beat Rhino3D into making this shape, but it was hit and miss. I'd love to figure out how to make this parametrically but I can't figure out how to describe that little inverted 1/4 of a circle.

3D printed shims for the win!
This bandsaw came without its stamped metal feet, which made up for the angle in the casting.
This is the kind of stuff I’m excited to have a printer for; little utilitarian problem solving accessories.

Here's a behind-the-scenes on the process.

In the same way a woodworker might use a jig on a table saw to get consistent, repeatable cuts, I use a virtual jig to get consistent and adjustable subtractions on my model. The magenta thing in this screenshot is that jig - I just generate a bolt, cut it with the subtraction jig, and I have the shape I need to print.

That jig is made up of six different objects I can tweak independently to make iterative changes to the design.

SubD are handy for modeling hulls, but trust me, nothing beats #SurfacePsycho when it comes to #CAD #hull modeling. Not even #Rhino3D or any other CAD software comes close to what Surface Psycho can do. #Nurbs #b3d #Blender3D #Blender #boat #design
