3D Printed Stuff

I'm doing my first ever work in cad. Using one of these doubles and adding to it. if it comes out, it's gonna be ****in tits!

What program?

I have one of them fancy modeler programs on my computer-machine.

Don't laugh. I've never done modeling before and hated all my programming classes back in college. I'm using tinkercad. I really have no idea what I'm doing but somehow it's working out. In a couple of hours I should have something pretty cool to show.

You've never done modeling? But a sexy bitch like you seems so natural at it.

Do bathroom selfies count?

Only if they're in your birthday suit.

Belay my last. I've done modeling!

I have no formal CAD training. I've just done it as a career in design engineering for ~10 years. And BOY do I want to get out from behind a tube!

I have a friend who wants to print stuff for scaled drag cars. Availability is nil, so introducing any kind of new parts or technology has a pretty big potential. She's been struggling for a few weeks with google sketch-up and other free services. I jumped on and created a fully detailed wheel and body for her in under an hour. She got a temporary license for the program I'm most familiar with, Inventor, and suddenly things start clicking when I show her some basic fundamentals and features of an actual real CAD suite.

I tried sketch up once but never stuck with it. I didn't really want to make anything from scratch just alter these stands. I started with mesh mixer last night and quickly went to tinkercad. I'm starting to get it now and may eventually get a real program. I can see a lot of potential here lol.

If I still had my workspace from my previous job I'd be able to do a lot of stuff to assist, but likely no time or passion to do it outside of work hours - that was a big issue I was running into working with Q a while back on some models, it was very difficult to work 3D CAD for work and want to keep going to mess with stuff.

Now I'm unemployed and I have all the time in the world... and I still don't really want to work on CAD models.

I'd be willing to help, though. I can make some designs if someone is interested and hand over a STEP or whatever for you to play with.
