3D Printing and RVing

[AbdRahim]

You guys are too much. I don't wanna learn something new and spend more money. I don wanna, don wanna!!!.
Hey! Maybe I can buy the good stuff from you folks. ? Beam it over Scotty.

I am admiring at your set Neal. When i first saw the floor plan for the Baystar 3626. That was the first thing, I thought of doing. I have got to pay for it first, ha, ha. That will give me time to decide whether to keep the couch or put in a desk.

I agree AbdRahim. Guess what I’m watching on the YouTube? “fusion 360 for absolute beginners “ ??

I gave up trying to keep up with @Neal, his hobbies and projects. I’m retired and can only do one a month?

@Neal , I have one of the textured sheets but hardly use it. I like the smooth surface of the one in the picture. I never have to use the hairspray...use isopropyl alcohol every few prints to clean the surface. The most amazing thing to me about 3D printing is the accuracy...I can tweak the design of two pieces that mesh together by .001" and notice the difference.

For those wondering what would I ever use a 3D printer for...attached is a picture of a small plastic retainer used for keeping an old design sliding door in its track. A neighbor searched every hardware store in Naples looking for several of these with no success. I was able to design this using Fusion 360 in less than 30 minutes and then it took about 15 minutes to print.View attachment 1690

I was wondering if you 3D printed the quarter as well. I think that could get you in trouble. And, it would probably cost more than 25 cents to produce.

I think it's important to "make your house" your own and what works for you. A lot of us spend a lot of time in front of a computer during the day, or a phone, whether you have a biz or not. The dinette was not optimum for me for various reasons, having a desk, which is where I spend most of my time in the RV or at home is outstanding for me to have. It wasn't hard to remove the jack knife sofa (or reinstall it when needed) or install the desk. Huge difference to my RV Lifestyle. 3D printing is a great asset and RVing is a great place for it as there's always something to improve storage and optimize space, some mount of some sort, some bracket of some sort, I even printed hooks to hold coffee mugs in the top portion of the dish drawer area of the cabinets that is just wasted space up top. I printed bins for the pantry to allow me to store stuff in full height of the pantry sliders so things don't fall off and over the sides. The only limit is your creativity. A lot of things are already designed and you can find the models online, there are tons of design software's for different skill levels for when you're ready to design your own. It can be a steep learning curve, 3D printers aren't perfect and you'll have to fiddle with them to get them to work at times, but it's fun in the end.

Interesting idea...hadn't thought of that!

Another use for the 3D printer...am working on a 1,000 piece jigsaw and our dog chewed up a piece that landed on the floor. If and when I finally get to that final piece I plan to use the 3D printer to re-create the missing piece.

Heck, go for the quarter dollar

United States Quarter Dollar by hockenmaier

This is a model of a U.S. Quarter, as dimensionally accurate as possible. Have fun! If you like my designs, let me know with a little bitcoin: 16QaNzCAGKhyjAtwPhy9WxNk8NRhzw8rk7

[Neal]

Do you have one?

One? You silly! One for the RV. One for Home. One for the office.
