Re: #3dprinting & #3dDesign

I've become ... 'better ' at it, but one of the core things I'm missing is how folks do design when it needs to work with other complex parts.
For example; My #3dprinter is basically a custom component at this point. I had to design the sled to use with the rails, every component outside of the bed-base and the extrusion frame is custom or customized.

I'm looking at making a big upgrade to the hot end but nobody makes my part, and I need a cooling solution. So how do I design a fan/duct system that mounts to my hot end mount, fits all the pieces and is the right length?

It seems incredibly daunting to have to #CAD up the entire assembly from scratch. But other folks do this... Somehow? If I look for cooling solutions on any print-sharing website there are thousands of them.

What am I missing here? 🙁

So, I've been working on a #3dDesign project: a "dollar store" #telescope.

The only non-printed parts in the telescope proper (i.e. the tripod doesn't count) are a makeup mirror from Five Below (primary mirror), a dental mirror from Dollar Tree (secondary mirror), and a 14mm lens from American Science and surplus (eyepiece).

Everything else, including the nuts and bolts, is 3D printed.

Does it work? Sort of. Here's a picture of the stop sign at the other end of the street.

Excited to launch the Actor Whitepaper site: whitepaper.actor – introducing Actors, a serverless programming model bringing UNIX philosophy to cloud computing.

Created at @apify, I crafted every aspect:
• Complete UI/UX design
• 3D illustrations & animations
• Full development in Astro
• Custom components

This demonstrates my design engineer approach: designing interfaces and bringing them to life through code.
