I made a magsafe mount in black for my Kia and I didn’t like the layer lines on the curved parts, but it gave me the idea to try using wood
I have a 3D Chameleon MMU so I added color changes randomly throughout between two shades of brown. One is wood, one is PLA.
It honestly came out way better than I even expected!
If anyone wants the STL I can provide it!
Yeah, you guys always amaze me. On account of being able to model things spatially in CAD-esq software. It’s a skill I never picked up on, and one that I really enjoy seeing in practice =)
Reminds me! I took a video of the timeline playthrough for the design process.
Thanks btw! It took me a few years to get efficient with CAD being self taught. Still learning
Super cool, I’m gunna show the missus. She loves stuff like this. We’re renting, but I hope someday I can set her up with a whole workshop and she can tinker away all day and night. Because it’s what she loves most (as seen above). Any cool resources you’d like to point us towards? I’ll pass them on and maybe we can figure out some kinda “micro” studio we could implement in our current situation. I miss being in a major city, because I miss creation-spaces. While I am absolutely awful at this stuff (as previously stated) I am really good with pen and paper stuff. Stuff I can get my hands on. And loved hanging with with folks like you while just doodling away in spaces like that =)
I also rent, running a 3 printer business from my closet and it works!
I learned everything from forums like this and YouTube.
These are some favorites:
Fav CAD educator - Desktop Makes
Hilarious crafting couple - Evan & Katelyn
Funny + knowledgeable 3D print channel - Nathan Builds Robots
If you guys ever have a project you want to do but don’t know how to go about it send me a message! You don’t need a local community when you have all of us on here!
