Idk I thought it was going to be SUPER CRINGY going into it but I was on the edge of my seat and watched the whole thing without falling asleep. The ending could have been better. My only complaint.

Yes on the slicer, no on the other. Was going to do filament swap, but decided to print two pieces instead

No that’s the original cad file, then into fusion, then printer

I’m new to 3D printing so a lot of trial and error

No. I’m on autocad so I just use that when I’m tinkering and then convert

Figure use what I’m comfortable with creating things.

Oh yeah that would be cool

No! You can model anything 3D in cad

I’ve modeled a wine bottle opener 😂

Eh. It’s not the easiest but you can get it done, depending on your skill level.

Honestly it just depends on how your brain works when you go to construct something. How you would approach it. The only reason I do that is because that’s what I have experience with, other than like cadworx and pdms. But my background is mechanical design.

I don’t ever get the opportunity daily to work with solid modeling. Shit that was like 6 years ago at least.

And when I do get to actually model something from scratch it’s the most basic crap you can think of.

I work opposite, I’ll draw 2d parts and make them 3D

My brain generally works the opposite way of most people lol

It’s just the Way I learned. Started with sketching and then worked my way up. Had some old school teachers

Throw back to like.. wayyy back. When I could actually draw thing with a pencil and my hand not swell up from carpal tunnel 😂

Yes my degree is engineering design with a petro/industrial concentration

And then I did my minor in machine design

If oil and gas continues being what it is I’ll go ahead and button up that machine design and go a different path

I think we’re all looking for different avenues of income at this point in my field
