@🔥Samwitch🔥 is that a stl in a slicer? Are you doing a filament swap mid print?

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

Gotcha

Is that Slicer 3D?

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

Ah been there lol, I wait for thr day 3D printing becomes like our paper printers

Are you starting out from Fusion 360 from the start?

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.

Gotcha

Well if your ever thinking of getting more into Fusion, I have some really good tutorials that helped me a lot and I'd be happy to link them

Oh yeah that would be cool

But I am assuming since your working with AutoCad, your more doing flatter objects right?

No! You can model anything 3D in cad

I’ve modeled a wine bottle opener 😂

Well sure but AutoCad isn't like the best for 3D, It's great for more SVG and laser cutter works 😂

Idk sorry I do a lot of friendly CAD debates with freinds

Usually Onshape V.S. Fusion, Inventor v.s Fusion, ect

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

Fair enough, I perosnally like Fusion the best, but like the say, the one you know best is what's best for you ;)

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.

Ohhhh I see where your coming from

Well in that case I have less experience (only about 2 years), but I'm more of the start with solid modeling and play around

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

Yup we're polar opposites then 😂

Well both workout haha

My brain generally works the opposite way of most people lol

Haha well I think that's cool

It's unique and creative

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 😂

That's awesome!!
