It's strange. I really don't like 3d modelling - I just can't find a program that lets me wrap my head around it properly except Cinema4D and these days that is.... Nooooot the solution for me.
But then I look at Tinkercad.... 83 designs made in their web client.
8 designs published to Thingiverse.
Yeah, there's a BUNCH of remixes suited to my own needs there.
But I still somehow knocked all that out over the past three years or so.
And 3D Printing has helped me so much to see things in shapes, to figure out how to approach a problem, and has done so, so much for my sense of autonomy.
Hell, I'm currently renting a room, and my desk is held up with brackets I found online, that suspend it under my bed.
Behind my pc desk, I've designed my own brackets for a workspace so I can tinker with projects. I've made standoffs and shelf brackets so the offcut materials can be used for shelving.
I've printed a hook so I can hang up my headset and declutter my desk.
I'm currently trying to design a controller hanger that hooks off a support beam of my bed to further declutter it.
I've gone and made little clip rings so I have lighting solutions above my head - suspended from my mattress grate.
Just this week I made myself a pull-out shelf for under that worktable!
It's.... Kind of amazing, really. It makes me happy. It keeps me sane. And it helps me to feel... Well, in control of my own life, a little bit.
It's been a good hobby for me, now that I finally have a machine I don't want to throw out the window every time I use it.
