[DaviMH47]

Just ordered my first 3d printer, can't wait to try it out.

Best of luck. I got zero replies. Maybe 80 owners don’t have a 3D printer?

APRIL 8, 2020 ** No longer need to add ".pdf" to the extension of STL files. The extension .stl is now allowed.** you can thank @rover67 for that little fix.

I first got the idea from my BH3D double cup holder and figured I would see what else the I might need. I then found @suprarx7nut do some cool things with keyfob cases, then I found some stuff by @Outsane that got me thinking.

First I am really not good at CAD so my design isn’t very nicely finished and I do not care if anyone duplicates/modifies/sells/criticizes it, just don’t ask me to print them for you. I...

There's plenty of folk that have 3d printers or access to them.

If you want to 'give value', then pick your favourite 3D modeling program and design stuff and then post up the files for everyone to share...

I use solidworks since both my mechie sons can drive the tool well and I can always 'ask for help' to design something that's beyond my rudimentary skillset. Solidworks for 'makers' is pretty cheap if you knock a few designs together each year.

Here's just a couple of things that have worked out really well (the orange brackets):

@george_tlc I'm still too cheap for $50 a year That said, FreeCAD is finally turning into a borderline mature program. It's got its quirks, but every version is improving by leaps and bounds.

@tattoo80 and @Dlathem , I think more than a few of us have printers, but I don't have models for your parts.

Plenty of 3D printer owners, including me.

I have recently gotten into sheet metal bending via FreeCAD and SendCutSend.

Custom brackets for my RTT.

Dang that’s cool!!! What do you use to bend it?

I didn't bend it. SendCutSend bent it, precisely where I specified the bend to be.

SendCutSend made both pieces. Here they are installed, with the one with the studs inside the RTT channel, and the other clamping the load bar. Honestly, anything I could have bought was subpar and just as expensive...

3D Printing allows custom manufacturing, and with vendors like SendCutSend allows custom metal fabrication.

Man that is too cool! I had no idea that even existed.
