Playin’ banjo while waiting for the part to finish printing
If you ever have the opportunity to print your own part on a 3D printer, be prepared to wait for the results (think: 300 baud current loop teleprinters from the 1950’s).
Parts is parts
My first parts to be printed on a 3D printer were not your typical downloaded models of Yoda or octopi. No sir! I used a simple CAD/CAM program called Sketchup to produce models of the following (from left to right) two experimental arrow nocks, a part for a small robot, and a table flange for a patio table. The size relationships seemed to work out well… just not sure if the material will be right for the intended purpose.
