3D printers are useful for many things.

Should be a short but I don't like the vertical format.

What a cool dad your son has!

Thank you 😊

I found your channel today. I have been living In a cave.

[@DesignPrototypeTest]

I've never been consistent enough with releasing videos to blow up the channel. I make the excuse that I'm more like an artist who needs a muse than a production worker. At any rate, I'm glad you found me. Welcome, and enjoy.

My kids have the same water table and the same frustration

I love your kid, so cute! Did you print the seat flat and then bent it into the u-shape?

[@DesignPrototypeTest]

Nope. Printed as seen on its side.

I'm video hopping on your channel lol. How do you get those curves with a single click on top of the imported background? It would have taken me 20 mins to carefully align part, plane, and add a bunch of points to form the enclosed curve.

Rhino is a really underrated and not well known CAD platform. The process is this: Import the photo using "picture" command. In the top view window draw a line on top of the photo between two points of a known distance. Scale the photo and the line to the known dimension of the line. Lock the photo so that it doesn't try to get selected as you're working on top of it. Start tracing the outline you need.

@@DesignPrototypeTest Thank you! I have been using Rhino since 2004 or so, after moving to it from AutoCAD. I use it for CAD engineering so not a lot of artistry involved. Everything from drawing my entire DIY CNC machine build in it, to creating prototype enclosures, and even furniture. I then use a CAM plugin to output g-code for my CNC. Rhino is brilliant in every way.

That’s so cool you do that for your kid. My dad would have just beat me with a shoe. Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸

What CAD software are you using?

[@DesignPrototypeTest]

Rhinoceros 3D Version 7 aka Rhino7 kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnyvhIeHmKuHi6s

The best uses!

teach them while they're young. idea for ur next parent/kid project: remember the game mouse trap? something like that. but printed
