Stories from my 3D Journey with Blender, Solidworks and 3d printer

I purchased a set of diamond wheels from Harbor Freight. Spent less than $10. In order to protect my investment, I 3D printed a box to hold the arbor and wheels.
The first iteration held the arbor but I didn’t make a slot at the end of the arbor. This oversight means I would have had to disassemble the wheel from the arbor to put it away. I know me, and I know that means eventually this would keep me from putting the pieces back in the box. I reprinted the box for the final design and released it to Thingiverse this morning.

The design was created in Blender and processed for printing with the Prusa Slicer.
Thingiverse.com has thousands of free models you can download and print. It was a huge help to have this resource when I first started printing. I felt is was only right to add a few contributions. Continue reading “My Thingis”
