Awesome which cad program and slicer did you use? Is it abs or pla?

[Blowby]

I designed it in Inventor and printed on a Fortus 250 in ABS.

I am testing different free cad programs and blowing off the cob webs. I did spring for simplify 3d as the slicer made a huge difference in print quality.


If that is a home machine well done sir.

I totally want one but keep telling myself I have nothing legit to make, so I'd just be making toys and goofy stuff.

Same here.

You can be creative and just make stuff you would like designed better or things that require special fixtures for your wild ideas. A few thing I've designed and printed over the years.

Metal detector....where?





Trigger Jobs in assembled position.





Mag Holders used in a few classes.





Nitrous Waste-gate hanger for 4 Solenoids over my A/C Line.





Tweeter mounts for my son's Subaru.



CCV Oil vapor seperator for race truck.



The world is yours with ideas.
