  1. back on the bandsaw repair:
    I've fully quantified just how cursed this arbor is. the hole in the back was drilled at a slight angle, this is the hole that slips onto the motor shaft, so the arbor has a wobble.
    The threaded hole that accepts a bolt & washer to hold the wheel on is straight, but drilled in the center of the bottom of the angled hole, so it's offset.
    I did a small test wheel attempting to counteract for these shenanigans, and it mostly worked.
    I'm gonna try it on a full size print next. We'll see what it looks like in the morning!

  2. SubD are handy for modeling hulls, but trust me, nothing beats #SurfacePsycho when it comes to #CAD #hull modeling. Not even #Rhino3D or any other CAD software comes close to what Surface Psycho can do. #Nurbs #b3d #Blender3D #Blender #boat #design

  3. Quick note on how I design these #NES controller breakout PCBs. I've not made a "footprint" that is natively understood by #Fritzing or other software as a part, what I'm doing is exporting the vector drawings from my 3D model to SVG (for other users of old versions of #Rhino3D, you will want to install SaveAsSVG: food4rhino.com/en/app/save-sca), adding that as an image within Fritzing, and carefully aligning headers and other holes to that image.

  4. Getting closer by dialing in the export settings in #DWG export settings in #Rhino3D which are comprehensive. Max angle & chord height work together, and I need to dial it in a little more, but it's getting there. What was throwing me is the 'Chord Height' parameter units don't seem to relate to anything I can figure out.

  9. @timixretroplays Couple of things to think about...

    For #Rhino3D you could install a VM on Mint and snarf the directory structure onto your Linux host - and then experiment with Wine/Proton/Bottles/etc. There's GPU pass-thru options but I'm not a fan.

    #Blender is great but is not parametric native although CAD Sketcher has done a lot.

    On the #FreeCAD / #Ondsel side I think great things are coming. Dev work has seemed to accelerate and the topology thing is "fixed". I'm putting my focus here.

  10. However, NURBS are not trivial: you can find a gazillion #opensource attempts to implement them but stop right after evaluating a surface from some spans. The semi-standard of NURBS modelling #rhino3d, #catia and to a certain extent #maya are there for a reason: they fill a clear gap. Wondering if there are other #graphics #cg community people who would join an effort to change that? (2/2)

  11. This little #grasshopper3d tool was a snap to put together and is available in my free LunchBox plugin. Have disconnect surfaces to join together for #3dprinting? This "join with tolerance" tool will resolve the edges and clean things up...

  12. Some candid shots of a #3dPrinted lattice. This one is a \(I \overline 411\) Symmetry Pattern in an Orthorhombic Lattice, all within a singly-truncated Rhombohedral shape. (It's actually my old friend Dürer's Solid with one side un-truncated.)

    Printed in white resin on a #Formlabs #Form3 with ZERO support. The file was constructed using Horta, my component library for generating the #SpaceGroups in #Grasshopper3d for #Rhino3d. I'm really impressed with the quality of the Form 3.
