Answering your CAD requests - 3D design for 3D printing pt9

To get the best out of 3D printing, it helps if you can design your own parts. In this tutorial series, we will learn to use a free 3D CAD program to do just that.
In this episode, I fill in some blanks by showcasing some features requested by viewers. We cover organisation, the revolve and sweep tools, advanced fillet and chamfer options, organic shapes with surfaces, export to DXF, surface textures/patterns and how to avoid support.
A future video is planned where I design a more complex part from start to finish to show all of the little problems and how to fix them.

It would be really cool to have a more extended tutorial on splitting objects and adding features to the split surface so that they line up when gluing and such. Also general tips ways to combine parts, matching dovetails, printed screws/threads, snap connectors, maybe hinges and stuff like that Looking forward to the bigger project as well :)

This series has been very vluable to me! It finaly pushed me over to start designing my own parts. The videos have been educational and easy to follow! As an idea to build on this, I'd like to suggest to stream whenever you're designing something, seeing someone with experience going through problem solving and itterations would be very helpful. I hope to see more design videos in the feature! Keep up your excellent work!

You're a fantastic teacher with a great hands-on approach! The world is better because of people like you. Re your invitation for ideas, I'd be keen to learn more about assemblies that combine models + standard parts (e.g. frames/ beams/ DC motors/ wires and routing etc.) It'd also be super valuable to all of us to see you go through the design process start-to-finish for more complex builds (i.e. case studies). Watching you pick tools and weigh trade-offs is really inspiring. Any more use of surface modelling would also be interesting. Finally, another idea is rendering the models. Not sure if Onshape supports it, but I know I like to see a good render before I sometimes commit to a design. Obviously, this is more of a bonus than anything else, since it's not essential to the process.

a very useful addition to the variables feature is the configuration settings, where you can have several presets that you can switch between rather than having to remember the correct settings for multiple variables and change all of them. you can design one version and then in the config menu, change the dimension to be part of the configuration and make additional versions

For supporting stuff i also sometimes just extrude with an offset of 1 layers height, to create a "custom support" structure. So for the hole in your example it would just be a cylinder that just almost touches the top, and in slicer i would just make sure that part gets printed with single perimeter and low infill (to save print time). Then they are usually very easy to remove and leave a pretty good finish.

For avoiding support material on a hole like you do at 10:15, if I don't want to (Or won't be able to) drill the hole after printing I'll make the bottom ~.4-/.6mm of that bolt hole a square hole, and then I'll cut out a rectangle the width of that square hole one direction to the edge of my counterbore that's one layer high. Then you bridge on either side of the hole one direction and then the next layer you bridge the other direction and then the square supports the internal round circle for the rest of the way up pretty well.

@thorntontarr2894 Жыл бұрын

This example as shown by TT confused me as the "bridge" term is unknown. If you mean the term to refer to OnShape, where is that? If you mean the slicer, where is that? As both your square or TT's round both have horizontal surfaces, I don't see how this helps. Cheers.

@BenRyherd Жыл бұрын

@@thorntontarr2894 bridging is a 3d printing term for when you print from one "island" or feature to another when there isn't support material or already printed part. It's vaguely similar to building a bridge between two points spanning over an open area without supports below. Hope I understood your question correctly.

@thorntontarr2894 Жыл бұрын

@@BenRyherd Thanks for your replies. Bridging must be a term in the slicer. But TT just placed a flat surface that seems to require a support. I would have just used a flathead screw so that the slant surface of would be like the chamfer TT used on the outside. So where in a slicer is 'bridging' making it any better in this example TT uses? And a flat head screw would not require any drilling - all this assumes I understand what TT is trying to do - recess a screw head.

I'd love for a tutorial on how to make an enclosure for a controller + a raspberry pi, and adjusting everything to mount to 2020/2040/3030/4040 etc extrusions. Preferably with mount points for heat set inserts to do it properly :) (Hole size and placement based on extrusion channel width and t-nut etc) A more or less generic tutorial for this should be enough to start customizing and designing enclosures for almost anything

This is off topic, I’m just looking for somewhere to ask a question. I have an ender 3 pro, I installed a BL touch, and 0.2mm nozzle for printing miniatures. I had loads of trouble with the head crashing into the bed until I updated the firmware to the tiny machines, I believe , marlin 2.0.9 degrees 7.4.4 and got a glass bed. It appeared to work ok and I printed a couple of dozen 28mm minis ok. I then stopped. After about 6 months or more I’ve just started again but I’m more interested slightly bigger prints. But my he just never seems to be level. I do the manual level with a piece of paper then run the bed leveller and the BLT does it’s thing. I home the head and adjust the Z offset. But the first layer goes from a slight smear or nothing to a barley touching string. I need a bit of help, please.

Hi Michael. I will soon be receiving my Carvera, which I go funded after watching your excellent review of it. If you could do a setup video and tell us which software you would prefer to design parts with to manufacture with I think it would be very popular. I am guessing Fusion 360 would be the choice since it can do CNC as well as 3d objects? Also, if you could set up a Venmo account I would be happy to contribute as I experienced fraud with my PayPal account and no longer use that platform as they would not resolve it. Thank you!

I printed my first piece last night at work and left it to do it's thing. When I got to work I was so excited to see the part I went over and snagged the part off the plate. then I realized that the printer ran out of filament. Sense I removed the part I can't just add filament and continue. How would I slice the part from where it was left off and print the remainder of the part?
