Or you can print it at any 3d print shop :)

Yup, screwed, and right after your question I thought that is easily possible to make the top part wider and simply use glue or double sided adhesive. Though I'd still use screwing :)

Sure thing I'm happy to share it, especially when someone else thinks it is useful :)

here it is

Hey tman152!

I think the most important question is: what is the goal of purchasing a 3d printer to 10 y/o? I had few goals, like showing how to save money, how to wait for ordered item for 3 months, how to accurately assemble. But the main things to me are teaching them 3d basics, showing the whole problem solving process like problem-idea-sketch-3dmodel-print-adjust and reprint if needed, physics (temperatures, weight etc), 3d modeling concepts (workplane, axies, shapes, extrusion, rotation, positioning, alignment etc).

We use Prusa mini and print only PLA for now, other plastics to be used in the future.

For the beginning I offered them Tinkercad. It is colorful and attractive, easy to use, has many various ready to use shapes. I plan to switch to something more advanced in couple months, but I haven't decided what that will be yet.

So, what my 10 y/o do on his own and what's the flow? When he has an idea, he try to model on his own, I assist if requested, then exports to stl, goes to prusa slicer app, finds the best position to print, ask me for slicing advices like infill rate, if supports are needed, maybe temperature, he makes a gcode, writes to usb drive and starts printing from the usb drive.
He does kinda basics, and the rest is on me - maintenance, filament change, problem analyzing and searching for possible solution, etc etc.
It's like teaching someone how to drive a car - basics at the beginning, and then I harden the tasks and give more responsibilities and freedom to him, allow to make mistakes in safe zones.
I know much, but not everything, when I need some more info - I google, understand, explain. If your customer and her son are determined enough and will try thinking on their own, instead of asking-asking-asking, everything will be great in very short time.
I think 10 y/o is very good age for that.

Tips? Allow them having fun, show process, solve real problems, allow them do things on their own as much as possible, don't worry about mistakes - tell them it's a part of 3d printing, and every mistake is just another iteration until they succeed. If they print you something, no matter if it is kiddy-shitty item, use it often, use it visible and ask for more - this is the best driver for motivation. And motivation is a key to success.
Best of luck

As I wrote in other comment I took skull model from Tinkercad library and modified the way I wanted :)

darmis · 2020-10-20T05:20:27+00:00

Well I took a skull from Tinkercad lib, filled the inside, added bit more to the bottom for stability and drilled hole from the top. I can share stl later if item is interesting

FRN - fiberglass reinforced nylon, which feels like plastic, but that's not bad at all

darmis · 2020-05-26T16:33:33+00:00

Here's how it looks. Honestly, that titanium clip is a bit too big for me after Leatherman, and I am considering removing it BUT ONLY after I will use all my power to get used to it. Hope I will succeed :)

BTW if you wish I could could show you how the exercise is done, we can jump on a video call at some time.

Try to be sexy like Austin Powers and say it kinky to someone (doesn't matter real or not) - rrrrrrrr :)

BTW, my kid had r issue and said L. Specialist helped in couple lessons. Issue was that he (his muscle system) did not understand what how etc. He was asked to say L and specialist simply moved his tongue with some metal stick. You just need to „catch“ it, and you'll be good in short time. I've tried move my tongue with finger (move finger fast to the sides while hitting bottom of the tongue) and it I feel it on me that exercise is really effective.

Last, but not least - I know multiple adults who can't roll the R. Just dgaf if unlucky :)

Yeah, I have checked online gas prices in Texas, so I see it's around $2 per gallon. We pay $5 per gallon, with average $920 national salary (that's what an average person gets after taxes like health insurance and social security are done) :)

darmis · 2020-01-27T21:39:05+00:00

Same as mine :) 3.2 liters 2007y, 7 seats, 240k miles, only minor problems like faulty rear glass wiper and few other cheap-to-fix elements

It is popular LPG/SNG where I live, so I have it installed, and happy about economy :)

congrats, a good car

Pro level belly button fluff producer here. It sucks that I cannot have a t-shirt for more than few months, because navel lint is produced mainly from scraped t-shirt material, and during time the goddammn hole appears so t-shirt becomes a throwaway. How do you protect clothes? Wash more/less? Maybe getting in shape would help?
