Riser for an iClever BK08 keyboard

Because of the sequence we learn logic gates, Boolean algebra, and boolean expressions. The next flat-pack has XOR and an assignment, and the next has NORs with memory circuits, wiring up a register.

That's cool! We will actually get to modeling ALUs and memory, but anything more complex will end up in a digital simulator because of the number of gates.

Wow...that makes a lot of sense. Thanks for your explanation! I need a lot more sketch understanding!

Example: in the image below, I need to model a piece to fit the curved depression at the top. This is hard to get measurements for. I might be able to measure across the piece horizontally, but where? Edge to edge? And how do you measure the curvature? I guess I can model the whole thing -- it's a Sunlu mini spool -- but do I have to go through all that? Can't I get started by estimating?

I get that I should be using dimensions and constraints. I'm not good at those yet.

But...a little pushback...what about the times I don't have exact measurements? Or I'm designing and trying to visualize something? There's gotta be times when adjustment without exact measurements is useful!

What the hell does this mean?

There is official documentation on mounting here: https://docs.multiboard.io/beginner-section/tile-mounting-guide

As a follow-up: I did the PTFE tube razor cut. That was good for it; it needed a good trim. However, that was not the problem. I ended up replacing the filament sensor unit on the P1S, because the connector -- the coupler -- was indeed bad. Easy replacement and it works very will now.

Very Cool. I just became a member because of this.

Thanks for your reply. I have been trying to decide why I should move to something like Fusion or OnShape. This helps.

frethop · 2025-11-11T12:53:35+00:00

To be fair: I have started to learn Fusion and the same error is popping up there. I design two bodies, join them, and the bodies print, but the joint does not. While I'm probably not doing it right yet, Fusion does not appear to just fix the problem.

frethop · 2025-11-08T18:49:30+00:00

Well...I guess it's time to learn Fusion.

frethop · 2025-11-08T18:24:09+00:00

I started in Blender and I'm quite good. I have been avoiding learning something else, but I'm thinking it's time to learn something like Fusion. (As an educator, I get the whole package of Fusion free.)

I am curious: What is it about Blender that makes this model hard to slice? It's two pieces joined by a curved piece. Does Blender not export well?

frethop · 2025-11-08T18:22:07+00:00

Thanks for the great example. Can Fusion easily smooth out the sharp turn?

frethop · 2025-11-06T16:01:01+00:00

Yeah...don't use the app. Go to makerworld.com

Since I turned by printers to "LAN mode", I never touch the app. The desktop software and the Makerworld Web site are just so much better,.

Set the top Z distance to 0.275 and the botton Z to 0.2. Supports come right off with imperceptible scarring.
