I don’t have the skill (maybe I should) to design something from scratch. A good friend has knocked up two things for me, the beer cap catcher and some clips that broke on my clothes airer. Neither could be bought. The airer was destined for the bin, as no replacements for the clips could be sourced. 3d printing (when my printer works) really does feel like the future. I use the clothes airer daily and it’s really satisfying I could save it.
@an0key I think CAD is like drawing, the only way to learn is to do it repeatedly and to tolerate the endless early failures.
