thought I would try starting a thread for this! basically, what’s something recent (or recent-ish) that you experienced that you consider a “win”? could be something big, or something small! we’ll take all the wins we can get, here.
for me, the primary ones that are localized to my life would be that my dog made it through surgery okay last month and that I am trying to learn linux server stuff again and actually feel like I’m getting it a bit more. I love learning things, but I honestly feel like I’m terrible at this skill set in particular.
also, making this post! I have been around before but I’m relatively skittish in social spaces just because of previous experiences. haven’t had any bad ones here, just memories making it hard to shake and actually participate.
I printed the deck box on 2 different printers, and the one with the better resolution definitely needed a little bit of extra room, but it was pretty easy. I just made the inside of the top .5mm larger than the outside of the bottom. No sanding needed! I use a deburring tool for removing brims and a heat gun for removing any stringing, but no other post processing.
The earrings are all printed as one piece. 2 of my printers are 4 color printers, so that makes things like that a lot easier. Here is an image from Onshape:
Hell yeah! I tried FreeCAD early on, but it doesn’t work how my brain does. My next big learning thing is going to be Blender for more sculptural designs
Ah awesome! Ooh, good call on the deburring tool and heat gun - I’ll have to remember those when I want a bit more polish to the print!
Oh neat! I absolutely forgot that some printers, if not most nowadays, can hold spools of multiple colours and print them in the same print. Neat!
Yeah, I’ve heard that Blender is good for that too!
Deburring tool is so great, but be careful, you can go too deep and mess up the edge.
