Finally got a 3D printer

Beyond the 3D Print Library:

Introducing the Carbide 3D Print Library

With a significant number of makers out there owning a Shapeoko, Nomad and a 3D printer, we wanted to set up a place where users could get spare parts if in a bind as well as to be able to share concepts we’ve been playing with which would be suited to 3D printing. We have about 50 models, from Active Project Tray to Z Clamps. We have more ideas and files in the works, but we thought this would be a good starting point. Generally speaking, these models should be printable on most 3D printers.…

there are a fair number of files folks have posted here, usually as an STL

If I can’t find something at Printables:

I usually hack it together using BlockSCAD/OpenSCAD:

How to do this secret box on a CNC?

Simple enough to do in OpenSCAD: https://www.blockscad3d.com/community/projects/1424448 [image] It’d be pretty straight-forward to take the model and cut it w/ a dovetail tool which matches what is entered into the parameters.

since I have been unable to get past the tutorials of traditional 3D CAD programs and the requirement of Alibre to have a mouse connected means that I am rarely able to find time to try it.
