As a person with no soldering skills and no 3D printing knowledge/equipment, this makes me very happy and only slightly less jealous. Sometimes I do get ideas about building things to address design issues in everyday items but I'm not confident about 3D design (I think I can afford to buy a 3D printer, if I was confident).
Can anyone who has gone from zero to actually designing/producing 3D printed items share how difficult the learning process will be?
- jgrahamc 4y agoI’ve made small things for repairs using a ToyBox 3D printer and OpenSCAD. OpenSCAD is just like programming. Examples: https://blog.jgc.org/2022/12/the-rogers-watch-retro-display-and-all.html https://blog.jgc.org/2022/12/the-rogers-watch-retro-display-... https://blog.jgc.org/2022/11/restoring-my-commodore-p50-calculator.html https://blog.jgc.org/2022/11/restoring-my-commodore-p50-calc... https://blog.jgc.org/2022/11/restoring-my-rockwell-8r-calculator.html https://blog.jgc.org/2022/11/restoring-my-rockwell-8r-calcul... All small things but satisfying and you can see the OpenSCAD code in the repos.
