I have written down all that I know about designing functional mechanical parts for 3d-printing. Took two years, but I finally managed to finish it... Please let me know what you think!

Design for 3D-Printing - Rahix' Blog

Deep dive into mechanical design that is optimized for 3d-printing.

The image fades from a CAD model of a piece of machinery to the real world on the right. A large number of functional parts of the assembly are 3d-printed and were designed to be optimally printable.

I've got this corrugated sheet in #TinkerCAD but you'll notice it is not constant thickness so its taking much longer to print than is needed.

Anyone able to make an stl that is? (using any software)

It should be 38mm height, 95mm between peaks and preferably 2mm thick.

OMFG! Saw this in my email and I thought it was a prop from Outer Wilds. But no – it's a fully-functional handheld scanner for locating radio signals from astronomical bodies! AND it looks awesome 🤩

Me: Excellent, I have found great settings for this wood filament.
PrusaSlicer: Would you like to save these settings before you quit?
Me: Absolutely not.
