Thanks guys for the help in the last weeks.
This is what I was so hard trying to print.
Btw... reminder to self, plastic expands. That's why the stepper has duck tape instead of screws lol

Also @Condor

Haha nice :) are your holes too small to mount it? :D i remember how i tried to print something with some close fits.. I guess it took 5 or 6 times to recognize that, like you said, plastic expands :D

@borderless Nah, I made the box to fit the motor at the mm... and now It's to tight and I can't fix the screws...
Anyhow, learned enough to redesign and make some tweaks.

Neat! Duct tape and some vaseline fixes everything ;) What are you making?

What material are u using that it expands so much ? Never had problems with that ... Btw add me to your 3d printing list please :)

Is this going to be an engraver (maybe CNC)? Or some upgrade to your printer?
Anyway more wall thickness and less infill should help you with the size difference I think. If it doesn't gonna support anything like in the picture you can go 20% or less. My go-to infill is usually 20% and wall thickness is 3 lines

Sweet! Makes me want to buy a 3D printer as well honestly 😅 any models you'd recommend for starting out?

@Condor As a Printer probably thr Prusa I3 Mk3, to get started PRINT AS MANY BENCHIES YOU CAN! WOHOOOO!

Or if you wanna get on the Cheap side, there is one From a Company called Robotic Industries, they are making one for 99bucks, It was on a Kickstarter but getting updates regulary...

@Condor if you want to print out of the box, having good results and everything's fine you probably need to spend around 800€. If you want to get into electronics and learn what depends and so on then you are fine with <200€.. For example creality3D ender 3, anycubic i3 mega, Anet a8... But you need to adjust and improve much until you have satisfying results.

It's a axis for a cnc, in this case the X axis with a built in press.
Im using clear Cristal from BQ. I'll have to make a few tweaks, then I'll share the files.

@Chill it is giving me problems because:
I did the design up to 0.1
Forgot to add holes for the screw heads that keep the piece in place.
Not gonna waste it, but I have to improve upon my idea.

Btw, rewatching an Arduino tutorial, so I'll probably redo the design tomorrow :D

BAh, couldn't get it out of my head.
Printing the new version now :D

@GyroGearloose i was like "if you got any questions with arduino, just ask, i'm not too bad in arduino and stuff".. And then i noticed, that i am on devrant and not in a facebook 3d printing group and probably >90% of all users are better coders than me. :D
Fml i'm happy beeing here :)

@borderless I'm a noob too lol :D been more oriented to steppers, so I know a little more on that area, but stopped improving on other areas, that's why the tutorials to refresh :D

@GyroGearloose i would highly recomend fusion360 for design .. and including everithing even the bolts. Its easy there thanks to abillity to import hardware parts from mcmaster. Its not 100% foolproof .. but making designs in this way helped me a lot with unexpected clearance issues.

@Chill I'll try it out for the next piece :D Already have it installed, just isn't as easy for me as Inventor, Since I have formation in solidworks.

I don't know any reason why somebody should use fusion 360 when he/she has knowledge in solidworks? It's like "you are a professional F1 driver, maybe your result would be better by driving a Volkswagen GTI" :D a GTI is strong, but not like a F1 car. Same with solidworks and fusion. Or am I wrong?

@borderless lazyness :D
found Inventor good enough :D
Didn't really go trough 360 to check it's features

Liking 360 so far...
Two questions, Can I use it with Local folders?
Are my projects shared or private?

I'll give it to you guys, 360 even corrects some bugs that Inventor has, it's a lot easyer to edit and create. Thanks :D

@borderless tbh didnt recognize what he was using and personally have no experience in solidworks so i cant say anything about it .... I started in autocad and catia now using fusion for CAM also. And i am really happy with it. Yes, sometimes resposivity lags with more complicated assemblies, esspecialy on lower end machines, but thats just price for nice UX that i am willing to pay. And i dont think it lacks features or tools. At least i didnt find case when it was limiting me.

@GyroGearloose by default private i think .. if nothing changed but it shouldn't. And what about local folders ? Your projects are both local and on server. So no worries about internet connectivity but if you're using two machines, they will sync.

@Chill
Just asking, but found how to Import the project...
Also, I back up these stuff on a Folder in Dropbox, all together and categorized.

@GyroGearloose be warned thou .. if you design willy nilly it will become mess :D just like in coding there are best practises to get the most out of your tool :)

@Chill I tend to design by parts, small steps, because that is how I learned from school...

@GyroGearloose fusion is doing the backup for you in this case, and has options for organizing projects into folder structure. I didnt even tried to find where are local project files yet.

@Chill Yes, I'm liking it a lot, thanks for the tip :D
Besides one little detail so far I'm liking it better...
I didn't like that I can't just edit a new sketch on an extruded wall, Solidworks also has/had problems with that

@GyroGearloose well, you can create new sketch on that wall and edit that. Or if you want extrude from one 2D contour to different 2D contour, ( from square to circle) create->loft i think it's the command. Or you had something else in mind?
And no problem ;)

@Chill Need help here...
I made a model in Fusion
Now how I export it to use in Cura, since Fusion doesn't export to 3MF, OBJ or STL , the file formats Cura supports...

@GyroGearloose right click the body object and in context menu find "save as STL" fusion has great support for 3d printing, second option is in top menu "make->3D print". I prefer the first one
Edit: right click the object in object tree on the left of screen
Edit2: or just google "fusion360 save stl" first result is with pictures

@Chill WOW, that easy
I just got a work arround, open in autodesk, export as stl, but this is what I was looking for, thanks

Have a second problem, my piece has two bodies and I can only export one as stl...
