Made a new case for my 3-4" micrometer.



I bought the mic used and it only came with half of a case. (It's the thing on the right)

That's something I need to do. A larger tray to hold them all, so they don't move on their drawer.

If you turn on fuzzy skins in your slicer for the outside walls. It will closely match the build plate surface texture and make for an almost manufactured look! Nice job

My new pole barn shop is almost done and the interior walls will be steel so I started printing magnetic hangers for some of my tools.

You could glue them nested and get JIC roses.

I came across this one a while ago. He designed it to fit in a relatively shallow drawer, while keeping them all (reasonably) accessible.

I ran across a strike against the Elegoo Centauri Carbon 2 (with out canvas color) tonight. It does not support manual color changes via script/ M600 filament change commands. The elegoo flavor of orca will output GCode to do so but the machine without canvas will ignore them all.
Its documented on the official github so maybe it will be fixed?

Feature request: G-code triggered pause support (M600 or equivalent) · Issue #4 · elegooofficial/CentauriCarbon2

The Centauri Carbon 2 firmware currently does not support a G-code-triggered pause command such as M600, which makes certain advanced workflows difficult or unreliable. Current behavior M600 comman...

Been slowly learning how to reverse engineer complex shapes in FreeCAD. This window switch was kicking my **** for awhile because the top part is complex and bends in two directions but I'm getting there.

Scanned with an einstar 2.


My model so far. I've deviated from the design in a few spots to make it stronger since these are notorious for breaking at the base.

Why is there a crease in front of the cup?

Why is there a crease in front of the cup?

It's just on the exterior and won't be visible when installed. The inside of it is nice and smooth.

I'll prob revise the model more later so that may change. I'm still early in design right now.
