This weekend I had a fun quick 3d modeling project. I needed a very custom lamp rosette.

A little bit of time with replicad and now, anyone can configure their own rosette.

We bought a second hand bike for my son and the training wheel broke. These wheels are just a plastic cylinder with a metal rod that attaches to the bike. #3Dprinting and #replicad to the rescue

Love how it is easy to 3D CAD model in #replicad with a little-bit JS and #opencascade magic. Thanks to

Another quicky, this is a parametric cable comb generator, built in #replicad.

I like building more elaborate parametric projects, but it's great to have a convenient tool to knock out these easy ones as well.

An extremely simple, parametric standoff generator, build in #replicad

I nearly did not bother making/publish this, but I end up using them on a lot of projects, so it's nice to have the configuration in one place.

I needed a small tray for my bathroom - it took me a few minutes to model, but now it will take me even less time.

Published yet another parametric-box-generator here: https://www.printables.com/model/702716-parametric-box-with-lid

This one is built with #replicad, which really streamlined some of the design (namely fillets and chamfers), relative to my other favorite: CascadeStudio

I have been playing with replicad within natto.dev.

I could easily make it work for 2D stuff - and have a small interface easily.

This makes me think of how it could be used to build a node based CAD software.

https://natto.dev/@sgenoud/e2ade00d1fb4406abe78061e7f9a959b?layout=sce24mgd to play with it!

Make Your Own Tabletop Game Organizers With Online Tool

There is a vibrant cottage industry built around selling accessories to improve the storage and organization of tabletop games, but the more DIY-minded will definitely appreciate [Steve Genoud]'s deckinabox tool, which can create either 3D-printable designs, or ones more suited to folded paper or cardstock. Making your own organizer can be as satisfying as it is economical, and [Steve]'s tool aims to make customization simple and easy.

The tool can also generate models for folded paper or cardstock.

The interface for customizing the 3D-printable token tray, for example, begins with a simple filleted receptacle which one can split into additional regions by adding horizontal or vertical separators. The default is to split a given region down the middle, but every dimension can of course be specified. Things like filleting of edges (for easier token scooping) and other details are all handled automatically. A handy 3D view gives a live render of the design after every change.

[Steve] has a blog post that goes into some added detail about how the tool was made, and it makes heavy use of replicad, [Steve]'s own library for generating browser-based 3D models in code. Intrigued by the idea of generating 3D models programmatically, and want to use it to make your own models? Don't forget to also check out OpenSCAD; chances are it's both easier to use and more capable than one might think.
