Experimenting with creating a halftoned printing plate. The file is 720MB which is pretty large! We'll see how it turns out when (if?) it prints. OpenSCAD warned me with "GeometryEvaluator: Node didn't fit into cache" but it seemed to render and export okay.

Made a simple mod with #3dPrinting to my kids toy train.

He was desperate to have Daniel Tiger ride in this train. 10 minutes with #OpenSCAD and 20 minutes printing: ow Daniel can ride around in style.

I made this satisfying #3dPrinting project a couple of weekends ago.

I have a pair of sleek Peugeot Isen salt/pepper grinders. They work great but definitely a frustration object trying to fill. The salt/pepper needs to go into the centre hole only and if anything gets into the outer channel, you have to pick it out.

So, I measured it up and spent 20 minutes in #OpenSCAD then 20 minutes on the printer for a perfect fit into the outer channel.

Low-Poly Triskele Window design, after a construction published by Joumana Medlej, artist-scholar — https://majnouna.com/artist/

This piece is a true mathematical construction, but I deliberately made the arcs jagged to emphasize that the tools I use can only draw straight lines.

This is why I needed to know about √⅓ earlier today ...

Just released my first npm package for #OpenSCAD and it feels like a milestone! Run "npx scadder install [url-or-model-id]" to pull the respective scad (like the gridfinity-rebuilt-baseplate) from GitHub onto your local machine.

I started playing guitar 20+ years ago, I always repaired and set up my instruments myself, fiddled with electronics, swapped parts, and even built one guitar from scratch (DIY neck, DIY bridge, custom pickup) and thought I knew everything.
It turns out being a bedroom guitarist I barely scratched the surface. Only last year playing in a band for 4-5 hours once a week showed me how much nuanced setting up an instrument could be.
I've made the nut for my 8-string (bought originally as defective, stock nut unusable) so long ago, that it was designed in a pirated CAD software on Windows, can't believe I used to do things like that :D
And only recently I found out how bad the design was. So I've made a good parametric #OpenSCAD model, fine tuned to my needs, and printed it in polycarbonate.

Chtěl jsem vám napsat, jak jsem se naučil v #OpenScad udělat jednoduchý model pro #3dtisk

Potřeboval jsem totiž podložku pod náš nový reolink zvonek, protože nepřekrývá instalační krabici. Tak jsem se do toho pustil a když jsem měl kousek hotový, tak mě napadlo: "Dyť ses nekoukl na printables, jestli tam něco není...".

Long story short, cca 10 vymakaných modelů, spousty variant... Tak třeba příště 😅
