i have to go take the road test for a motorcycle license. even though i had one when i moved here, it somehow didn't get added to my new license, so now i have to retake the whole thing. i passed the written this morning, but they take a long ass lunch, so i have to go back in about an hour for the road test. everyone i know with a motorcycle license is either busy, out of town, or in jail.....so i had to rent a uhaul trailer, and they only had box trailers, so i had to make a little ramp. 275 pounds is heavy when you're trying to roll it up a ramp by yourself...and you don't weigh but 170 yourself...

that's it exactly, a forg is a dick head frog...

I like abstract.......


















How strong are the parts?

mostly depends on what kind of filament you use to make them, PLA is cheap, and looks pretty good, but you can break it pretty easy, and it doesn't stand up to sun or heat well. PETG is stronger, and holds up better than PLA, while ABS is the strongest and most durable (they make motorcycle helmets out of it) but it takes higher temperatures to print well, stinks while it's printing, and the fumes are just mildly poisonous....
and on the kind of interior support structures you use. you can print something as a solid chunk, but it takes a long time, and uses a lot of filament. most 3d printed items are mostly hollow with support structures here and there to supply solidity. if you look closer at the nut and bolt you can see them inside, as i printed that from "clear" PLA

It's an interesting process.

i just bought a new Prusa mini+ 3d printer, and its great, but there's always a learning curve. been printing some of their included projects just to get familiar with how the thing works...here's a big nut and bolt that actually screw togetherView attachment 4895669
heres a forg...View attachment 4895670

heres an articulated octopusView attachment 4895671
and here's where the learning curve comes in...this was supposed to be a fuzzy little black sheep..View attachment 4895672
got the black part right, and really nailed the fuzzy part....the sheep aspect yet eludes me, though...

Fun hobby! I haven't printed anything in quite a while. Tinkercad.com is pretty good place to start leaning how to design your own prints. Fusion 360 is a lot more powerful but more difficult to use. They have a free version for personal/hobby use.
