“It frustrates me to no end that almost NONE of the models I want to download include step or SCAD files to allow you to make edits in CAD software. It seems like they only ever include the STL and 3MF, but very frequently I need to make I’ve gotten good at using Bambu Studio to make edits with my only tools being negative primitives and shapes. But it’s seriously a pain in the ass, there is no nice “snap to grid” or “snap to face” features and generally I feel like I’m just using the wrong softw”

Maybe a weird request but I’m looking for a stl file of ram horns (miniature sized, so I can glue them on some of my warhammer minis), does anyone know where and how I can find some? I know nothing about 3D printing, I just know my warhammer shop can print it for me if I give them stl file. Thanks a lot for reading and for the help!

“Hi! Recently got the idea to print a ragdoll, figured it would be a fun fidget. There are plenty of STLs for that obviously, but the semi-specific part i was looking for was a ragdoll with stiffer joints, so it could sort of retain the shape that it's bent into on impact. wasnt really finding anything so i wanted to reach out to everyone here and see if they could help me out. thank you in advance! submitted by /u/Global_Housing1498 [link] [comments]”

I chose to 3D print it instead of using standard metal SK16 blocks because I need a 12° steering angle. In the first two photos, you can see my initial version: I used an M8 cross-bolt to lock the shaft, but the PLA creeps and deforms over time under load, creating a deadzone/backlash. Next, I tried filing off the flat "tooth" on the shaft (pics 3 & 4) to attempt a dire”
