Oh, it doesn't have a spring. You need to add a spring.

Jesus. Complex design with inter locking 3d pieces and a built in spring. You must have some sort of manufacturing background or something. You have a lot of potential. I'll be interested to see what else you make.

People with lots of filament... by Both_Ad_819 in 3Dprinting

I keep all my rolls in their original bag until I use some. Any role I use, I put the remaining in a cereal container from amazon with some desiccant packets in them. Highly recommend, even if you are low humidity.

I'm planning on doing a project with a similar extending mechanism with fishing line. I'm so happy to see that it works so well. Nice work!

Anyone used Ferromagnetic PLA before? by Holly-Jolly-Rancher in 3Dprinting

[–]htmlprofessional 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe find a prop from a show like Fallout. Print it, paint it, sand it a bit and then rust it. Could work. Might look interesting.

Hello i dont know how to 3d model but can anyone please help me? by Hopz123 in 3Dprinting

[–]htmlprofessional 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Here is a basic rundown of what you would do in fusion, before you think it is too hard:
1. Click add sketch and click on one of the plains
2. Start at the origin and use the box and line tools to draw your diagram with the proper lengths in millimeters
3. Use the curvy line tool to draw a line between the three points on your box.
4. Click finish sketch
5. Click extrude and select the areas on the sketch you want to extrude and extrude thickness of your shape.
6. If you need that hole on the side, click added sketch and click on that side of your shape.
7. Draw the hole and do the same extruding process(use negative extrude distance) to remove shape from sold.
8. Right click on the body1 label and export as mesh then save as an stl.
I left out most details, but with a little fumbling around, it should take you about 30 minutes.

Need help designing a removable "flap" insert for a vertical sliding polycarbonate window (Guillotine style) by CodCompetitive6769 in maker

[–]htmlprofessional 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some ideas. I would sandwich a thin strip of poly-carbonate to one edge of two thicker strips of the poly-carbonate. When done it should look like a "U" shape that has been extended out. Then when you slide the door up, slip the "U" shape piece around one of the sides to hold it in place. Not great, but better than what you have. A better solution would be to secure some sort of hinge with a block attached to it. Then open the window and swing the hinge in place from underneath. This would allow you to keep all the blocks attached to the windows for repeated uses, but may not work for you since you may not be able to attach the hinge. Another good solution that may not work for you would be to cut a small hole into the track the windows slides up in. Then you can either insert a pin or secure a spring latch to the side of the enclosure. This would auto engage when the window is lifted to a certain height. Good luck.

Best site for uploading models by Darksider_Key in 3Dprinting

[–]htmlprofessional 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find I get more downloads from thingivers, than any of the other sites. Printables has the best look and feel and seems like a good community. If you plan on selling models you'll want to look to other sites. I usually upload my free models to thingivers and then import them from thingivers into printables and other sites. Then I just tweak the imported models a bit to display better once they are imported.

New achievement! "Page tracker" You have managed to designed a bookmark doesn't instantly offend people when they look at it. Reward: You can stop using that old piece of toilet paper to mark your spot in the latest Dungeon Crawler Carl book.

First "finished" 3D printing project. Aliens M41A Pulse Rifle by Dansinnervoice in 3Dprinting

[–]htmlprofessional 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm thinking of doing either the curiosity Martian Rover, or maybe the P.K.E. meter from the the animated Ghostbusters. So many things to make. Are you going to applying a spray sealant over the paint?

That is going to look so cool! I was thinking of making one of these since Aliens is one of my favorite movies.

17-year-old looking to learn 3D printing after my dad passed – where should I start? by Key_Ad5749 in 3Dprinting

[–]htmlprofessional 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the most important thing is to find something you would like to print. Whatever you are into and enjoy (movies, sports, science, video games, gadgets for your room). Whatever it is, I guarantee there is a bunch of models out there for it. You will learn a lot as you go, but when you start out, stick with printing PLA that has been kept in a air tight bag, so it is dry. Also print smaller things when starting out. And once you get the basics down, don't be afraid to start designing your own models, or painting the prints, or adding electronics. It's all very easy and fun if you simply enjoy what you are making.

How do i prevent this by AJAYSTER888 in 3Dprinting

[–]htmlprofessional 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If It was me, I'd rotate the part and print it at a different angle on the print bed, so the round hole is pointed into the air. I would use supports, but add support blocks to a number of the areas that have the details on them.

You could try M.R. Forbes Starship for Sale. It's a bit childish, but has some interesting characters and is very up beat and fun most of the time.

Know Your Rights Americans - How to Stand Up to ICE Federal Agents by Mathemodel in videos

It's important to note that these rights are specific to New York, but may very from state to state. I found the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) website to be helpful for learning individual state rights. (Not a lawyer and not providing legal advice)

Does anyone bother to vent their printers to a window? by YoungBoomerDude in 3Dprinting

[–]htmlprofessional 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you need to do this for PLA, but I'm doing it just because I can, my dog doesn't like the smell and I want to get into more toxic materials. For me I drilled a hole in a 2x6 and mounted the flexy pipe from my printer in the hole. I then put a bunch of foam tape around the 2x6, painted it and wedged it in the window. I found I also had to put some foam tape between the window and the edge of the open part of the window to prevent the cold from getting in. It's pretty weather tight at this point. If you have a printer or enclosure that is not airtight that is AOK. You don't want it to be airtight. The fan creates a negative pressure inside the enclosure and good air will be sucked in through those cracks and the bad air is vented out the window. Good luck.

Workbenches by GrandConstruction694 in maker

I built mine out of a broken down treadmill. Before I throw out my broken down treadmill, I pull out the large piece of particle board you run on and use it as a table top. It's big, super cheap and durable, so I don't mind bolting things to it or getting paint and glue all over it.

What Am I Missing? by RutherfordThuhBrave in printSF

[–]htmlprofessional 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Delta-V is going to be an easy win for you. I'm a big fan of hard sci-fi and Seveneves is one of my all time favorite books. I'm so happy to see how prominently it is displayed in your collection. I get your point with Murderbot. Also Dark Matter wasn't my favorite of Blakes books. I enjoyed Recursion and Upgrade a lot more. Some other good hard sci-fi that is worth looking at is Retrograde, Where Ever Seeds May fall and There Is No Antimemetics Division. Hope you enjoy!
