Jonathan LamotheKaty wanted a fancy organizer for her alcohol markers but we didn't have the money for it. What I *did* have was a copy of <a href="https://pixelfed.sdf.org/discover/tags/OpenSCAD?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenSCAD</a> and access to a <a href="https://pixelfed.sdf.org/discover/tags/3DPrinter?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#3DPrinter</a>, so I made us a better one.

Dave 🔜 @WHY2025<p>Ran out of designing mojo for this one today: a 3D printed case for the <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/WHY2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WHY2025</span></a> badge. It looks like the badge is a PCB sandwich with a bare back? Anywho, this design lacks an opening or mechanism for the power button.</p><p>Looking forward to receiving the badge! <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/OpenSCAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSCAD</span></a></p>
tiago<p>This is a hack for using BIC ballpoints pens on vintage pen plotters. Note that this model is highly experimental, more experimentation is need (an <a href="https://genart.social/tags/OpenSCAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSCAD</span></a> file is available). <a href="https://genart.social/tags/3dprinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>3dprinting</span></a> <a href="https://genart.social/tags/penplotter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>penplotter</span></a><br><a href="https://www.printables.com/model/1362574-rolandhp-bic-pen-adapter" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">printables.com/model/1362574-r</span><span class="invisible">olandhp-bic-pen-adapter</span></a></p>
masukomi<p>Additionally, because the bins you put in are standard <a href="https://connectified.com/tags/Gridfinity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gridfinity</span></a> bins, they can go off and be useful elsewhere if you decide you want something different in your drawers. </p><p>I just used another <a href="https://connectified.com/tags/OpenScad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenScad</span></a> model to generate the bins with dividers or not. </p><p>Seriously thinking about printing more of these for our workbenches. </p><p>🧵 3/3</p>

masukomi<p>Needed some small drawers to organize my desk. My printer is now churning out drawers using this parameterized <a href="https://connectified.com/tags/OpenScad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenScad</span></a> design <a href="https://github.com/smkent/modular-drawers-gridfinity" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/smkent/modular-draw</span><span class="invisible">ers-gridfinity</span></a></p><p>I mention this because I was once again faced with the maddening fact that people keep designing cool "modular grid" systems, that seem needlessly incompatible with <a href="https://connectified.com/tags/gridfinity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gridfinity</span></a> stuff. Mostly because the creator made a grid that was almost, but not quite the same size for no obvious reason. </p><p>🧵1/3</p><p><a href="https://connectified.com/tags/3DPrinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>3DPrinting</span></a></p>
masukomi<p>Serious question: Why is <a href="https://connectified.com/tags/OpenSCAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSCAD</span></a> so damn slow?</p><p>Like, compared to literally every other 3D rendering app it's orders of magnitude slower. Things that take a second to render in any normal CAD app take minutes in OpenSCAD. I know it hasn't been updated since 2021 (i think) but still…</p><p>What's going on?</p><p><a href="https://connectified.com/tags/3DPrinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>3DPrinting</span></a></p>
Zack Cerza<p>Over the last few years I've built a ton of small gadgets - mostly various WiFi-based sensors based on ESP devices - but more recently BLE via nrf52840. They're all oddly-shaped, enclosure-less, and getting a little dusty.</p><p>A friend who's moving far away gifted me his 3d printer, and I immediately started learning Blender to be able to design my own things. The last time I'd used any sort of CAD was over twenty years back.</p><p>There's probably a better way to do this, but I'd been creating one rough model of each device, then a larger model representing the case, then doing a transform op to subtract one form from the other. It gets the job done, but the workflow kind of sucks - between iterations there's a lot of undoing.</p><p>Today I discovered OpenSCAD, which allows me to define the models in code - it makes it so much easier to visualize the before &amp; after, and iterate quickly! Such a huge improvement for me.</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/3dprint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>3dprint</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/blender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>blender</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/openscad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>openscad</span></a></p>

Dave Smith<p>I've always done my 3D design in <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/OpenSCAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSCAD</span></a> as I've previously struggled with <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/FreeCAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeCAD</span></a> and it made sense to my programmer brain.</p><p>However, trying to design a 250g R/C plane was a real struggle, just so much work to make things accurately hollow.</p><p>So I bit the bullet and tried FreeCAD again this weekend and something clicked. I'm now really enjoying using it, particularly storing the critical dimensions in a referable spreadsheet.</p>
Matthias Dittgen :bc:<p>Now that I have my cylinder and arc basics, I can create and print all the SKÅDIS hooks I can imagine or just the plain ones.

Cassandra Granade 🏳️‍⚧️<p>A few tweaks needed still, but I think this works pretty well for holding up Ultra-Pro One-Touch card shells.
