I need a dip belt for my training.
They cost like 300 SEK, for basically a strap with two D-rings, so I decided I'm making my own with an old belt and a 3d-printed buckle.
I think 3d printing really shines making "things-to-attach-things-to-other-things": connectors, buckles, fasteners and so on, which are simple but need to have very specific measures.
I'm not even particularly good at CAD, but simple things are easy to put together.
Looks like the old brain is coming back online again - managed to do a mini project with minimal brain fog interference. I'm now "officially" in #AutisticBurnout, and I've been told I need to do things I enjoy, but I haven't been able to do this kind of thing since late November.
It's a height-adjustable phone mount for 13YO to record his abstract art videos without his mum having to hold the phone for him. Upcycled cupboard door for the base and old wardrobe clothes rail for the pole. 3D printed base and sliding bracket in hot pink (the colour filament I had loaded in the 3D printer), designed in OpenSCAD. Laser cut MDF holder designed in Inkscape.

I love making beautiful, functional things with just a few lines of code. #OpenSCAD
Also, we're working on a 3D model of a replacement "1" key for an ADM 3+ terminal.
This key has a weird kind of angled box stem, but also the "1" key is of weird dimensions (estimated 18x32.6mm) and the stem location is slightly off center (maybe 2mm to the left?)
I think we're going to go to the local hackspace and try printing it today.
This is based on https://github.com/rsheldiii/KeyV2/ with a new hacked in stem type.
Habe eine Weile das Projekt liegen lassen. Aber (nicht nur) @a32 hat vorgeschlagen anstelle von Holz lieber was am 3D-Drucker zu drucken.
Stehe nur leider auch wieder am gleichen Problem wie vorher, ich muss irgendwie jemanden mit 3D Drucker fragen, oder mich mal in einen Makerspace begeben.
Tatsächlich habe ich mit @a32 einige Varianten durchgespielt und schon mal etwas losmodelliert. Dank ihm kenn ich jetzt #OpenSCAD und habe mir schnell ein paar primitive Formen zusammengebastelt und die Kugeln zusammengestellt.
Aber ich habe ja immer noch keinen Drucker.
Bis, dann ein guter Freund zufällig einen Drucker übrig hatte und ich ihm den abkaufen konnte. (Aber dabei wollte ich doch vorher noch die #MöphDiss abschließen.)

This is the first project, where the set of metal radius gauges, I've got recently, was really heavily used. And also it probably is the most rigorously recreated replacement part in my life. I couldn't just stop at the core mechanical functionality, I had to go for aesthetics, so the shape of the knee looks at least as organic as the original.
Of course I did it in #OpenSCAD with #BOSL2 just because I can :D

Seeing as you're making dice that are fighting the current situation in the USA right now, I think this would be up your alley. https://stgiga.github.io/gigaware/TarouijaD120files.zip would be up your alley. It is a 3D model with OpenSCAD for tweaks, of a d120 but instead of the numbers 1-120, it has extended Tarot and extended Ouija as its symbols, via Unicode shenanigans, following this mapping https://www.reddit.com/r/d120Lists/comments/17mr2uv/d120_tarot_and_spirit_board/

The first section of characters is the contents of the Playing Cards block in Unicode, minus Red Joker (white is kept) and Playing Card Back. So that means the 52 cards (jokers included) in an English/American deck of playing cards, plus Tarot's Knight cards, so 56 cards (and these are basically a graphical suit with the value above it, in a 12pt cell), plus the 22 cards in the Major Arcana, with "Fool" as XXII as is done on some decks. That section is rendered as a 12pt card with Roman numerals I through XXII with IX and XI having disambiguation dots. The naming I used for the cards is the alias names Unicode gives the cards. So none of the "The Hanged Man" or the generic numbered-only names that Unicode gives as their official codepoint names. After that is Ouija's 0-9 and uppercase A-Z, using Unicode's Mathematical Monospaced characters (Courier) from Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block, in order to fit the 1800s playbill font commonly seen on Ouija boards, also 12pt. Now the next ones are the interesting ones. To represent Yes and No, I used the Thumbs-Up and Thumbs-Down emoji respectively, and the real interesting part is what I did for Hello and Goodbye. For those, I used two characters from the Miscellaneous Technical block, namely the Enter Symbol and the Escape Symbol, both seen on old Mac keyboards. The first one is a diamond with an arrow pointing inwards, and the second one is a circle with an arrow pointing outwards. The metaphor here is that "Hello" is entering a conversation, and "Goodbye" is leaving one, obviously with a spirit. And all this fills ALL 120 slots on a d120, with no empty or duplicate entries. A unique glyph for each side. The only fonts usable for this by the way are Unifont Smooth (bundled) or UnifontEX. No other font, even Unifont itself, has all the characters together, due to the fact that Hello and Goodbye symbols are in Plane 0, meanwhile the rest of the characters are in Plane 1 AND even include emoji, never mind that some fonts do not support the Major Arcana part of the Playing Cards block. So basically, you're stuck with these two forks of GNU Unifont, but UnifontEX is pixel and so is not exactly a fitting theme unless you're a hacker like I am. Plus, by a bout of sheer chance, ALL the characters after vectorization turned out fine (though White Joker's J is too skeletal in the loop), something that related characters (some of the other stuff in the same block as the thumbs up and thumbs down emoji didn't vectorize well) have trouble with. I was very pleasantly surprised that the emoji and the Roman numerals turned out fine. But ultimately this was a feat of engineering I did when I was bored from 2023 to nowadays.
Anyways, what makes this a compelling protest product is that it combines several things that fundamentalist Christians are very prone to hating. It takes Tarot cards and Ouija boards and shoves them onto dice that are literally divisible into an entire set of common and rare TTRPG dice, on top of the shape being a D&D d20 but divided into 6 triangles (putting a d4 on each face and then dividing by 2), a D&D d12 but divided into 10 triangles for each pentagon, as well as being a derivative shape of the d30 and d60. So basically, this "Tarouija" d120 combines multiple things that fundamentalist Christians consider "demonic" into one divination ritual item and thus is a great form of protest against the religious right. For the record I live in California. Hopefully this is interesting.

OK, that works... Quite impressed with @jlc3dp
The PCB with LEDs to go inside is expected tomorrow.
Update: Someone asked me if this image was real, not AI, or proof of concept: FFS, it is a real photograph I took of a real 3D print!
And yes, I am mastodon only now, so bloody well boost 🙂 thanks. Yes, thank you.
P.S. never expected "bloody well boost" to work. Extra cool. Thanks all.

Uploaded another design to printables. This time a simple stackable 1x1 gridfinity holder for 1/4" hexdrive bits.
I could find plenty of gridfinity bit holders, but none that were stackable and 1x1. So I designed my own in openscad

Problem: the toilet cistern is attached with two bolts through the bottom into a nuts under the small holes. And the cistern covers the big holes, so how to hold the nut while you screw the bolt into it?
#3DPrinting to the rescue! A quick model in #OpenSCAD, print on my #Prussa Mini, and some number 8 fencing wire (of course!) and voila! Two captive nut holders. The loo was back together in five minutes.
Big up to the @OpenSCAD team for the amazing work you’re doing!
Just tested the nightly build and loved the changes since the last stable release are fantastic. Such a game-changer for my 3D prints!
Quick question: any ETA on the next stable release? Can’t wait to use it in production ! 😊

How many times will I screw up the size of a hexagon in @OpenSCAD I'm pretty sure it's every time... I probably need to add a calculator to my code.
For now this one seemed to work:
