  Thanks mate. Will print when I get the chance. I have the single 18v version of this with the gutter kit. I think the body is the same on the front.

  Men in their mid 30s and up look at this and go ‘hell yeah’

  Nice one op. One day I hope to also get into designing functional prints such as these.

    One day I hope to also get into designing functional prints such as these.

    Not that hard to get started… I literally just designed and printed a custom shower recess drip tray for around the bottom of the shower door because it was dropping water on the outside, just to funnel the water back into the shower recess.

    I also use 3D printing to design parts for custom motorcycle builds that I do where building it out of metal first would be cost prohibitive and massively time consuming if I made a mistake. Working in 3D allows me to print a smaller section test piece and check it and alter it on the PC instead of making a while new piece.

    If you want to have a play, I started out using RS Designspark Mechanical to just make simple geometric shapes. It's free for a basic license and has all the tools you will need to start making shit.

      awesome mate - what kinda printer are you running?

      I guess it just comes down to me not being creative or imaginative or i guess a background with hands on design.
      Browsing thingiverse and printables and makerworld the level of design in some cases is mind blowing and wayyyy better than i could ever imagine.

      eg I always thought man how good would an xbox style grip be for my rg351mp (a hand held rectangular gaming emulator device) - surely shouldnt be too hard - and it probably isnt but then someone had already made a really good one actually, and even included two little tunnels in the frame and outputs at bottom of controller adapter that redirect sound so it sounds louder/clearer - blew my mind - that little feature was like the equivalent of salt bae sprinkling the salt over the perfect bbq'ed steak haha

        A hand me down one from work that they could "never get working"… I literally cleaned it, updated the firmware, tweaked some heat settings and it prints great. It is an Anycubic Mega S *something something*. The new one at work is a Bambu branded printer and it does all kinds of awesome shit and the printer output quality is almost as good as my liquid resin printer. I am hoping that they will upgrade to a bigger printer and I will get the Bambu one or they will upgrade to a laser/metal printer…

        I guess it just comes down to me not being creative or imaginative

        I found the same… I got my first printer and then though… WTF do I even design… and then it hits you and you start noticing shit all around you… all the little "I wish someone would make a…." well, now you can. Or a "if only I had a …" well, now you can have one…

  It's not as hard as you think mate. I got a pretty good handle on it after maybe 10-20 hours of playing around with the CAD software and watching some youtube tutorials.

  Have a shot yourself - it's heaps of fun and incredibly rewarding if you can print the results with a 3D printer… Sign up for a free account at OnShape: https://www.onshape.com/en/

      i did have a quick poke around tinkercad , looked very simple and most importantly can be done anywhere just login and away you go.
      will see how the ipad version works with pencil, could be neat maybe.

    Check on printables & thingiverse sites; they're searchable. Otherwise see https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/15122603/redir

      You've gotta love the pure sense of entitlement and arrogance though…
