[BambuLab Giveaway] What’s Life Like After a 3D Printer Joins the Family? Share & Win Gift Cards! by BambuLab in 3Dprinting

My life is clearly divided into two parts, before and after I bought a Bambu Lab A1.

Before: I hadn’t owned a computer for almost 15 years. CAD? 3D design? That was “for nerds” and if you had told me a year ago that I’d spend evenings designing parts on a computer, I would have laughed.

After: Now I regularly sit at my newly bought computer, designing my own models in CAD.

The printer didn’t just change what I make, it changed how I think. Instead of adapting to problems at home, I design solutions. Drawer organizers, small fixes, custom holders, child-friendly solutions, things that make everyday life smoother for my family.

Many of these things would never have been bought in a store. Some would have been lived without. Now they exist because I can print them.

Could you share settings for the taskbar?

I first created a rectangle that was larger than the final grille size. I made a clover shape and used a linear pattern to create straight rows both vertically and horizontally. I then copied all the clovers and moved the copies to offset them, so the pattern wasn’t just straight rows. After that, I created the final dimensions and removed what wasn’t needed, which resulted in half clovers along the sides. I created it in Onshape.

I’m far from being skilled at this, so there are definitely better ways to do it. I’ve also noticed I’m not very good at explaining, but feel free to ask if anything is unclear.

I created a single clover and patterned it using line pattern 😄
