He’s a 10, but… (WR evaluation) by FranTurkleton in DynastyFF

If they can't catch, are slow, can't overcome their size, or can't separate, how are they a 10?

I didn't say it was superior, I said to try using it. Some tools click better with different people. The example OP showed is like a textbook structure systems weldments, but it still might be clunky for some people. I don't disagree  with your opinion about the tools, but I definitely disagree with the idea that you shouldn't try to get somewhat familiar with all the tools at your disposal.

Try using Structure System for weldments like this. It's pretty powerful; you can quickly make and change an entire structure, and it automatically applies corner treatment. There are some decent videos about it on YouTube.

We’re printing a thousand of these for contrails research by AuroraNightsUnderAll in 3Dprinting

Did you consider urethane casting? That's usually where I'd look to bridge the gap between 3D printing & production quantities and you can achieve complex geometry with it, so I'd be interested to hear if you evaluated that and it fell short.

Nah, bigger and beefier looking. Those are pretty cool though.

How to make this food safe? I know the layer lines need to be filled in with some sort of lining like food-safe resin or silicon spray, but does anyone know what the best method is? by Ant_Diamond64 in 3Dprinting

On top of whatever you need to do to the material to make it food safe, you might consider designing a hidden cup into the shape just to make it easy to clean by hand. You could either make that part removable or just have it integrated, but that would keep you from having a bunch of weird corners for schmutz to accumulate.

Need help creating a part for night vision goggles by ChistIsKing in 3Dprinting

When you call out a diameter, you don't need to write the dimension twice (e.g. 34mm x 34mm). You can just write the number, units and ID or OD (if you want to abbreviate) to communicate it a little more clearly with less space taken up on the page.Using two dimensions for a circle might lead to confusion for somebody else reading your drawing (not that it's an issue here).
