HOW I MAKE THINGS

Idea, print, test,
then fix it.

Most things do not come out perfect the first time. I make a version, test it, notice what feels wrong, then make it better.

THE PROCESS

A simple loop I can keep improving.

  1. Idea

    I start with a problem, something I need, or just an idea I want to try.

  2. Design

    I make the model in Fusion 360, then I check the size and make sure it should print.

  3. Slice

    I set it up in Bambu Studio and pick settings that make sense for the part.

  4. Print

    The P1S prints it, then I keep an eye on it and see how it comes out.

  5. Test

    I try the part, measure it, and see what feels off or needs to fit better.

  6. Fix

    I change the design and print again if I need to, because the first version is not always it.

TOOLS & EQUIPMENT

The stuff I actually use.

A good printer helps, but the real work is checking size, picking sane settings, and fixing the design when it does not work yet.

Fusion 360Where I make and adjust the model.

Bambu StudioWhere I slice the model and set up the print.

CalipersFor checking sizes so the next version fits better.

I'm still learning, that's kind of the point.

I try new ideas, test them, and keep the parts that work. If a print fails, that is usually where I learn the most.
