I designed a holder for my new headset*. I was expecting my first try to need changes, either tolerances or bad measurements by me, so I printed it in pink. But it turned out fine. (printed on ender, designed in FreeCAD)
Excuse my lack of focus stacking (using a phone camera)
It may seem a bit tall, but that is so that the usb charge cable doesn’t undergo strain.
Pretty much everyone has a smart phone with a camera now, and QR codes seem to be here to stay, but there is a problem with human facing use in my opinion.
The problem I am talking about isn’t malicious use. The problem I am talking about is that barcodes are designed for computers, but today they are incorporated into use for humans.
That is a bit poorly worded, so let me give you an example instead.

While this may “work,” it is pretty clunky. Putting logos in the middle of the code and relying on error correction really grinds my gears too.
Let me restate the problem then, the problem is that people see the QR code, and it is a lot of distraction noise to them. So I propose that we hide the QR code from humans.
No one ever reads this so why bother making a decent post.
By combining a displacement map with the wood grain texture generation when cutting, you can create textures of 3D woodcuts. I did this a while ago so I don’t really remember, but basically, you just replace/combine R with the displacement map.

I wanted to include nutrition facts for some cookies I made. I found a website that worked pretty well, except for two problems.
There is not a lot of organization or formatting but it is this or nothing so…
Hopefully the before and (mostly) after is clear here…

I started thinking about the trunk of a tree. Essentially, you have a bunch of concentric growth rings. I visualized this as something looking like the image below.
The center of the tree trunk would be in the middle of the left side.

I made an android app called sleep solitaire in unity. It isn’t much, and has some bugs, but it works. Feel free to download it.
I thought about putting it on the play store, but it costs $25 to make a dev account and I don’t really think it is worth it for this.
If I decide I might do more, I might make a play account though.
I wanted to make some grids to put on the drawers/shelves that hold tableware in order to let dust and such fall through. This project has gone through may iterations…
Some random samplings of revisions. Things like strength, tolerances, and print time can be difficult to simulate for FDM prints due to factors like print settings and anisotropic properties.
I was doing something and needed a machine screw. I had a bit of trouble finding what I wanted in this box. In part because the bins didn’t always match the label, but for some other reasons as well.
What is this mess? Why doesn’t it have a M2x5?
I am revisiting my old class stuff that I made, and updating / expanding it a bit.
(files at the end of post)
Needs revision, but the basic frame is mostly there.
