Just been playing around. This is a test box I printed to test a "print in place" hinge. The box is printed in the open position so top and bottom need to be the same height..
I also used a 0.24 layer height. and the filiment is PLA.
The print quality is decent and was printed at a fast speed. Print time for this small box was about 45 minutes.
When finished, I took the photographs and just wanted to "play" with the presentation. Cutting out the background. Just wondering if this type of photo is worth the effort. I usually (never?) go to this much effort for a photo.
Done fro now... Just messing around!
Fusion Personal Use

I finally got back my “Personal Use” FUSION after midnight this morning. Over a month ago PU FUSION locked upped and crashed. I did a reinstall and it put me into a 30 day trial of FULL Fusion. Didn’t loose any files but for 30 days it has been pounding at me to buy a full license before the trial ran out. Absolutly no way to just get back to the personal use version. There is a separate Personal Use website but even it loads the 30 day trial. I even tried to re-register as personal use. no effect.
I found a very obscure refference in a Q&A list somewhere in my search that if I waited out the (My words “POUNDING to BUY:”) 30 day free trial it would revert back to the Personal Use version.
Yep, it just did. It closed all my open files and reminded me I could only have 10 open. (I almost never need more than one open)
My conclusion the crash was probably deliberate, so they could browbeat me for 30 days to buy at last the $600+/yr subscription. while keeping the fact hidden it would revert back to Personl use after 30 days of “lose everythng” fear mongoring.
Steve's Drum Clock

This is an original project I executed for my adult son, Steven. Let’s say he is over 50 in age <G>
Steve is a professional grade percussionist and has been playing drums since he was about 5 years old. (I have pictures!) I might easily say drummer is his alter-ego. It’s not his actual career, but he is about as good and professional as it takes to make it a full time career. Still very active.
So a clock drum was something I could certainly design and gift to Steven, and I was sure he would appreciate.

One thing I discovered early-on with 3D printing was a tendency to think all printed items had to be designed and printed as one piece. That is not true or necessary.
Many good projects simply can’t be made as a single print. As a designer, one of my skills is determining the best way to print parts and assemble the project.
