“Had plans to make more effort on the post and makerworld page and probably will after a break from it, but currently sick of looking at it and autodesk and wanted to get it out there. So anyways, I've been working on a hingeless shell replacement for the OG Phat NDS. Took around…”
“I'm making a 3d printed ODM gear (I think thats what its called) Attack on Titan thing for my sister but the swords have like switches on them but the model i purchased just wanted me to glue some unmovable switches on (I didn't like that idea) so i was wondering if anyone knew…”
“Another step forward. Assembling the front of the first prototype. It’s finally starting to come together. Next: electronic”
Multiple users are requesting assistance with designing custom 3D printed parts, specifically a Nintendo DS shell and a replacement part for woodworking equipment. This highlights a need for accessible design tools or support for beginners.

“First time using CAD and my first ever electronics project, started back in July, and now it’s finally complete after many sleepless nights. All started when I watched a video some time ago of a commercially sold 2-in-1 card dealer/shuffler machine, and thought i could…”

I've been trying to use blender to make switches but so far I've made like 5 versions one worked but I can no longer find what”

“This is the case for Lunakbd, a wireless split keyboard I've been building. I modeled everything in FreeCAD around my own PCB and printed it at home. After printing I post-processed everything by hand: sanding, filler, primer and paint. This was my first time doing the filler + paint finishing process, so any tips are very welcome! All the design files are open source (FreeCAD sources + STEP/3MF) under GPL-3.0-or-later: https://github.com/gbPagano/lunakbd submitted by /u/gbpagano”
“Yes, it actually works. It plugs in via USB. Everything is 3D printed on bambu lab P1S before being primed and painted. submitted by /u/ChaosBench [link] [comments]”
“basically just replacing random keys with random objects, the rock is my escape key The home button is literally a house, Num pad button 5 is a small gun from half life, And number 1 is a toilet because why not 🥲 currently printing Gary the snail 😮💨 submitted by /u/ok-computer32 [link] [comments]”

So anyways, I've been working on a hingeless shell replacement for the OG Phat NDS. Took around a good 6 months of learning autodesk and design and was a blast, but ready to move on to other projects. Currently no sleep mode (relied on the magnets in the speakers folding onto the halls switch), and couldn't”
