Let's do this.

I designed and 3D printed a vent deflector to blow hot air under and behind a dishwasher. The dishwasher is on a north wall and on a cold, windy night, the drain hose froze and cracked. I was pleasantly surprised by how well it worked to keep the space behind warm during some recent frigid nights.

Sometimes there is no why, only do

@M4x I did not. I had not heard of that tool before. I may have to try it. I typically design the PCB first and export the .step model of the circuit card assembly from KiCad. Then I import it into FreeCAD and design the case around it.

I got tired of fumbling around under my desk to switch my audio connection between a headset and a speaker bar so I created a simple 3.5mm TRRS audio switch with KiCad and FreeCAD.

If you would like to make one for yourself, I put the design files on GitHub (https://github.com/seaallen75/audio_switch_TRRS). I also put the case on MakerWorld for those with a Bambu 3D printer (https://makerworld.com/en/models/1996048-audio-switch-3-5mm-trrs#profileId-2148621).

@edu_1st @FreeCAD
First, that is really neat! I do wish the front of the AND gate was more rounded like the typical signal. Also I don't know how to accomplish it, but it would be nice if the output stuck out further when a single AND input is pressed. Do you plan to connect several gates together?

@ivor Looks great! I do hope it is printed in a material like ASA that is less likely to soften in a hot car.

@tinx We're going to find out. I can always add some in a future revision.

I designed a case in FreeCAD for an ESP32 dev board that I use as a Bluetooth-to-WiFi bridge to connect my radon sensor to Home Assistant.

Hot on the heels of my first (finally) successful resin 3D print, I printed a DnD mini for my wife.

I finally got a successful print from my resin 3D printer!

My kids have been enjoying a hand-me-down Wii. One of the nunchucks was missing most of its joystick pad so I designed a new one in FreeCAD and printed it in squishy TPU on my Bambu.

I finished the arcade I was working on in time for my oldest kiddo's birthday! It is running RetroPie on a Raspberry Pi 4. I designed the marquee sign and mounting brackets for the various PCBs in FreeCAD and printed them on my Bambu.

AI is hurting engineers.

Many new engineers think the AI is smarter than they are. It's not.

You're paid to think about the problem. One important way you learn to think about the problem is to go through the exercise of writing code—especially the boring parts early in your career.

So if you're new to this, turn off Github Copilot and struggle on some of it for longer than is comfortable. Learning takes place at the edge of comfort.

@ironhydroxide Thanks for the correction.

There was a power supply in the lab at work that had lost 3 of its feet over the years. I designed and 3D printed new feet for it. I printed them in TPU for vibration damping.

I found and 3D printed a really neat model of a human skull. It is held together with magnets so it can be disassembled and reassembled many times.
