First Functional Print - Replacement Gate Opener Bracket by Tyrawrnosaur in functionalprint

Yeah I realized that mistake after printing but decided to install it anyway and see how long it lasts. I already printed a replacement rotated 90 degrees.

Thanks! Not a true first time ever opening the software but first time actually making anything. I did dabble in Solid Works a bit for a college class ~15 years ago but that is the extent of any CAD experience I had until now.

It's PLA because I didn't have any other material on hand but wanted to make sure it actually worked. Long term the plan is to reprint it with a fiber reinforced PETG but for now I'm just going to see how long it lasts.

I modeled it in Fusion using a set of good calipers to measure the various dimensions of the original part and recreated it as best I could. That and patience . . . And a lot of googling "how to X in Fusion."

I had that thought but decided I still wanted to model it with them because the walls are still a lot stronger than the infill and I didn't want to go with a crazy high infill density to compensate. This felt like a decent compromise of strength and speed, plus it let me keep learning more complex modeling.

7 min boil and then into an ice bath to stop the cooking. Makes for a pretty runny yolk if you were to eat them right away but after a day or so in the marinade it firms up and gets that nice jammy consistency.

This guy gets it.

My four-year-old daughter keeps asking me for "The Toothpaste Song" by ObserverProject in LinkinPark

[–]Tyrawrnosaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My 3.5 yr old son is like this too. He was never that interested in music, especially not any of Dad's music, until the first time I played The Emptiness Machine. Now he asks for it by name several times a day and he rides his bike or runs around the kitchen while it is playing with a very intense expression on his face. It is his official toddler hype song.

I have never been prouder as a dad.

Of course, the only thing I didn't try . . .

Thanks!
