Would love to see some of your prints on here! When I was younger my dad and I built a 3D printer, and I loved it. Since then I haven’t had the funds/time/space to get back into it but as that was like 12 years ago, I know 3D printing has gotten much higher tech.

    Our fridge door doesn’t close, so I decided to design a clip to keep it shut and 3d print it. Never used any cad before, nor a 3d printer. I bought an A1 mini, downloaded Fusion360 and followed some videos. Here was the result. (ps this is version 3, since V1 and V2 were successful prints, but unsuccessful at doing their job of keeping the door closed)

    (For some reason adding the image doesn;t work? I’m new to Lemmy, I’ll try to find out what’s wrong and I’ll be back to add the images)

      Some instances restrict image uploads because of people uploading… Unsavoury images.

      You should be able to link to an external image site.

        Right, thanks. (that’d be a useful massage or popup to receive though if that’s the reason for not going through) I’m not on flicker or things like that so generally bank on posting the images directly (only recently coming over from reddit to lemmy)
