Martin Tilo Schmitz<p>Yes, travel sized toothpaste and handcreme tubes have a terrible packaging &amp; price to content ratio, but they ARE handy, so... <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/3Dprint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3Dprint</span></a> yourself a tube to tube converter and refill them?</p><p>I don't have a file to share, the diameters, profile and screw thread parameters can vary too randomly.

Steve DeGroof 📚🛸<p>Everything came out remarkably well, considering the design's about 95% parametric.

frigginGlorious ✅<p>With a fair amount of sleuthing, I can't find anyone on the internet that has successfully 3d-printed a nerf dart. :blobthinkingglare: </p><p>So I was playing around with mimicking the shape of a traditional dart.

Steve Pomeroy<p>Today I designed and fabricated a new parametric spool to wind up my addressable fairy/pebble/seed LED light strands. This one holds 40 meters of lights which I use for trail lighting at outdoor events. I use it in conjunction with battery-powered WLED controllers for fun animated trail lights.</p><p>It's open source and free to download/remix here: <a href="https://www.printables.com/model/1300796-led-light-spool-customizable" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">printables.com/model/1300796-l</span><span class="invisible">ed-light-spool-customizable</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/openscad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>openscad</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/WLED" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WLED</span></a></p>

Darren<p>I have finally found a <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/3dcad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3dcad</span></a> tool that works for me. <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/openscad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>openscad</span></a> lets me just write code for objects and (duh), that works for my brain. No fiddly mouse operations, and having to rebuild things from scratch. Just declarative objects. It's lightweight, you can check stuff into git. As long as you can visualize object transformations reasonably, it has been simple (so far) to build quite complex objects. The parametric features were very helpful for this object. I wasn't sure how many grooves I wanted, but you can just change a for loop till it looks right. Openscad does the visualization, I'm editing in vi. It's light weight..</p>
