how I feel when I make Fusion 360 push through its bullshit #3DPrinting

I designed something for my friends. #3DPrinting

IT'S CALLED FASHION, LOOK IT UP

I wanted to create a unique ring that had an organic feel to it, and I think I succeeded. Had to learn more about Fusion 360 to do it; learning more is rarely a bad thing. 👍🏼 #3dprinting

Well, holy shit. I think I made the thing I want to make.

Time to slice it and see how it turns out. #3dprinting

Perfect. #3dprinting

DANG. The pilot print came out well, and the distances were all a little too small.

Second time's the charm? That's the phrase, right? #3dprinting

Yay! They're coming out well so far. The real test will be when the legs begin curving. I'm going without supports; we'll see how they come out. #3dprinting

I designed and am now printing some glasses for a Furby. #3dprinting

Not a perfect #3dprinting, but pretty good.

V likes the little holders I made for her hydroponic cups.

I had to convince Cura that YES, two of them could fit on the same build plate. I'm printing a pair now. #3dprinting

I must be at least passing fair at designing objects for #3dprinting; this latest effort took 15 minutes from telling V that I was about to start to firing up my printer with the sliced design.

Okay, I think my desk looks nice. #3dprinting all those boxes really did help. #konmari

OK! Designed those coins and sent my friend the STL files. Designed a new box, sliced it, and sent it to print. First layer looks good so far. #3dprinting

Also got my pillows & case out of the washer, into the dryer! I'm doing well.

I designed and printed a box! Notes:
* At 100mm x 100mm, this likely took up more of the print bed than anything I printed before.
* It was also my longest print time to date at six hours, seven minutes.
* The part of the design process that took the longest was waiting for Fusion 360 to load.

OctoPrint is still pretty cool. It has its quirks, but I both started and then checked in on a print I'm running downstairs from my bedroom. Worth the eccentricities. #3dprinting

I cleaned and lubricated some parts of my 3d printer. Hoping to get a nice dice tower out of the thing. #3dprinting

Here is the final result of when V. asked me to make a shelf peg and a metal clip have a baby. #3dprinting

Had a dream about using the digital calipers I'm getting for my birthday to help me design a custom piece of jewelry.

I'm definitely going to make something like I dreamt of, but for today, I'll have to use seamstress's tape. #3dprinting

Maybe these aren't terrible. #3dprinting

Looks like I finally figured out my #3dprinting issue. We'll see if the next print goes as well; fingers crossed!

(These are little mementos I designed to give the guests at my 40th birthday party.)
