OPENSCAD YOUTUBE MANUAL

Make sure to print your kidsвЂ™ in the first batch. Luckily, I started an emergency print and was able to get back on his good side. He can read and he was quite miffed when he did not see his name. I.uhвЂ¦ I kinda didnвЂ™t include his name in the first batch of hearts. I showed my son and was ready for a positive response. When I printed my first batch of hearts, I was quite pleased. Sometimes parenting is harder than 3D Printing. (It also gave me a little more leeway to recover if an edge came unstuck from the build plate).ДЄnd a quick tip. In this case, because the GlowFill was a little translucent, going up to 6 and 7 layers made sure the text appeared more crisp and white. Usually I have found with detailing 3 or 4 layers were sufficient. I printed in 0.25mm layer heights.ДЇrom 1.1 вЂ“ 1.7mm, I printed in ColorFabb GlowFill. Since I have a single extruder machine, I used Simplifењ“D to set up two processes to print my heart:ДЇrom 0.0 вЂ“ 1.0mm, I printed in ColorFabb Traffic Red PLA/PHA. Slicing and Printing вЂ“ Simplifењ“D and MakerGear M2 Text(child_name, halign='center', size=font_size) I was then able to rapidly run through and create 17 models for all my sonвЂ™s classmates. I went ahead and brought my Blender STL files into my OpenSCAD project and set a variable name for the вЂњChildвЂ™s NameвЂќ. There is an Import command in OpenSCAD where you can pull in STL files. STL files - my heart and my hook to make it a medallion.ДЄlthough I had experimented with Python scripting for Blender roughly a year ago, OpenSCAD seemed easier and quicker for me. I decided to keep the hook separate in case anyone wanted to print just straight up hearts.ДЄt the end of my Blender sessionвЂ“ I had two. The hook was just a cylinder subtracted from another cylinder (courtesy of the Boolean Modifier).

I did an Inset of my face and did some manual cleanup of the vertices.ДЄfter that, it was just straight Extrusion to the heights I wanted. Scaling Versus Inset вЂ“ Inset Will Give You Consistent Widths IвЂ™ve worked with hearts in the past and I knew that just scaling another heart down wasnвЂ™t going to do the trick. The detailing of my design, I wanted an outline of a heart in GlowFill.

I did a little cleanup of the Vertices, by Merging a couple of oddly mirrored vertices to the center. I used the Mirror modifier to make it symmetrical. They love taking it into the bathroom and turning off the lights to see it glow. One thing I have noticed with my kids is they LOVE glowing things. I printed most of it in ColorFabb Traffic Red PLA/PHA (duh) and then the detailing and the name are in GlowFill. Hey, itвЂ™s a little heart pendant/medallion with a name on it. The design is not especially ground breaking. This seemed like a great use for the flexibility of a 3D Printer. In my sonвЂ™s pre-K class, a vast majority of the students are in the same boatвЂ“ most of them have unique names. I am not bound to get what someone else has decided to design and make.

As a result, he wonвЂ™t be going into gas stations or souvenir shops and finding mass produced keychains and trinkets with his name on it. Over here in the U.S., thatвЂ™s a unique name.
