Can you rent a mini-ex for a day or two? I think I'd sooner sell the property than deal with that by hand. Nightmare fuel. Knipex makes an adjustable wrench that ain't cheap but combines most of the best qualities of vise-grips, slip-joints, and adjustable wrenches with none of their flaws...

OK, so I spent some time today to get the Imperial option working. I haven't tested it very much yet so if you think you see anything wrong, don't hesitate to yell at me. The cutting plan still shows metric but that'll get updated along with some other things I'm working on for that.

If any of y'all actually try using this to build a cabinet, don't hesitate to DM me and we can swap emails/phone #s so you can email or text me anytime you run into questions. Also, I would be more than happy to look over any generated designs to verify the key dimensions before you make any...

It’s coming! Seriously though, building cabinets in metric is much easier. I switched last year, and never looked back. Quick: what’s 14-13/32 minus 2-9/16? It’s nice not needing a construction calculator for every other dimension.

This is a really interesting subject. I taught myself Autocad R10 way back in the day, though I never really got into scripting with it. AutoLISP would count as a fairly exotic language these days. The thing with the current generation of AI tools is that they work best where their training...

Awesome. I may want to pick your brain at some point as I get into some of the nooks and crannies. The core of this is having good design rules at the core. I consider myself a fairly proficient amateur but you could fill entire books with what I don’t know 🤣

If you do start to use it, feel free to DM me your email and I'll give you mine in case you run into any questions. I'd also probably want to run a side-by-side version of what you're doing just so I can triple-check all the calculations. I'm fairly confident in this and am going to start...

Uhh… actually that’s planned for v3 😳 "Click buttons, get cabinet" was actually the original inspiration of this many years ago. I was living in a typical small weirdly angled Boston apartment and had a corner I wanted to stick a bookshelf in, but it was an odd size and nothing from the usual...

(Apologies in advance if this is considered spam/too promotional/OT/etc) Since finishing my very upgraded shop last year I’ve found myself building a steady number of basic cabinets, and while I like the process of building them, the design and drawing are tedious, especially if I take the time...

Yes. Eventually I'd like to publish STLs or similar but not ready for that just yet. All of the above. My research into the subject suggests that typical consumer grade CF filaments are bull$#@! for anything other than aesthetics and the exposure risks to ultrafine carbon emissions are...

0.6 nozzles are nice for when you care more about speed than detail, which describes a lot of Gridfinity jobs. There's a good argument to be made that 0.4mm is a nerfed standard that dates to when extruders and printers were much less capable, kind of like how the QWERTY keyboard layout was...

I have two printers (Prusa i3 mk3.5 and Core One) and they have a 0.6mm and 0.4mm high flow nozzle respectively. If this is a first printer I would just start with whatever is standard or maybe a high flow until you figure out what you actually need. I have never had reason to print anything...

Fyi to @zanyad and @Model A Fan and anyone else interested, I've done a couple new iterations on the design while I was stuck away from the shop. I haven't printed either one yet so caveat emptor but if you use Fusion and want the model file I'm happy to send it to you. I ended up making two...

Noted - what size drawers are y'all working with where you might want to use this?

After you brought this up I took a look at this again and realized I'd already printed like half or more of the parts I needed, so decided to finish it up. In the process I realized that the drawer I had set aside for my box wrenches would *almost* fit everything, but I'd have a little...
