  1. #functional #3dprinting
    The dishwasher filter frame broke, so #ftijpi . The design looks easy, but it took quite some measurements and prototypes for the mesh to fit in.
    The first prototype looked good in theory but failed after the first washing cycle (@65C).
    I knew #PLA would warp and it did. The experiment failed successfully.
    Now, I did a slight design change (2 supporting pillars) and printed in #TPU, which should be heat resistant up to 80C.
    We'll see.

  2. Today I saw a great tit looking at me through the window.
    She said: "Hey mister, I (and my friends) would need some kind of feeder soon. And a pile of seeds. If you please. And make those walls a bit thicker - 1.6mm instead of 1.2. You know, our claws are sharp."

    "Ok little mistress, give me a second, let me check printables ... searching ... 308 bird feeders found ... #ftijpi "

  3. Scissors broke.
    Step 1: Draw handles.
    Step 2: Photo & redraw in #inkscape spline
    Step 3: import .svg in #tinkercad, extrude, make holes for metal part insertion.
    Step 4: tried to add nice fillets in fusion, blender, freecad. Gave up.
    Step 5: #FTIJPI without supports, because #yolo
