Anyone Doing 3D Printing?
I'm in the process of purchasing a 3d printer. This thread will follow my journey as I learn to 3d print. Below I found a good guide on YouTube for an overview with additional videos on the channel for more in depth and specific topics.

My son printed me the case and bought the electronic parts for a portable M12 pinecil power supply. Its pretty slick for small electronic parts soldering like guitar pots and pickups and other odds and ends.
He also printed a tabletop smoking pipe holder and various pipe stems. Also 2 wireless internet child nodes wall mounts and a corner wall mount for a child node. Gets them off tables freeing up space. So now I know what to get him for Christmas. He and his buddy use his dads Prusa printers. I had no idea useful stuff was being created with this.

I printed a pipboy from fallout and painted it for my son for his birthday. Pretty happy with this one.

I can't remember if I shared this one before either, but last year I made a major award.

You could probably make a nice little side gig out of selling those pups the next 30 days or so.

Did you scan your controller on your own or find a scan out there in the world? I'm figuring out the extreme basics of 3D modeling, but creating a model of an existing object seems pretty daunting. Curious if you bought a scanner, used a phone app, or what.

Random things I've done so far:
1. The most organized "junk drawer" ever. 2. Cactuar from my favorite video game series (Final Fantasy) 3. Decorative change bowl 4. A bunch of earrings for my wife. I used the Chiefs earrings as a chance to get into a little CAD. It was surprisingly easy to just take the arrowhead logo, move things around, and turn it into something I could print. Anyway, definitely a fun little hobby. Time to tackle my shop pegboard next... |
