Comment on Made a giant draining sponge/accessory holder for my kitchen sink.
canthidium@lemmy.world 1 year agoPost if you do. Love seeing interesting household prints. If you’re curious, how I designed it, I took an overhead photo and brought that into Fusion360. Scaled it to proper size and then just designed on top of the canvas. Did the same thing with a silverware organizer I made a while back. Took a few test prints (just a 1mm base with the holes cut out). I had to make a few fine adjustments, but it fits perfectly now.

Cool! Will do :)
I’ve always been meaning to try the photo thing - I’ve always just reverted to making some sketches on an ipad/paper, and taking as many measurements as I can, and then printing some test fits.

Same, it really depends on what I’m making, I guess. Bigger things I need to fit in/around stuff I tend to take photos. But I always do a bunch of test prints anyway.

Yeah, I’ve always been meaning to get that process tightened down Abit to minimize the number of iterations required. Though I haven’t figured out what that would entail lol.

The photos help for me, but I mostly just try to make as many modifications as I can for each iteration. And I print 1mm ‘base’ prints until I’m satisfied it’s ready for the final.
