Would love to see some of your prints on here! When I was younger my dad and I built a 3D printer, and I loved it. Since then I haven't had the funds/time/space to get back into it but as that was like 12 years ago, I know 3D printing has gotten much higher tech.

Our fridge door doesn't close, so I decided to design a clip to keep it shut and 3d print it. Never used any cad before, nor a 3d printer. I bought an A1 mini, downloaded Fusion360 and followed some videos. Here was the result. (ps this is version 3, since V1 and V2 were successful prints, but unsuccessful at doing their job of keeping the door closed)

(For some reason adding the image doesn;t work? I'm new to Lemmy, I'll try to find out what's wrong and I'll be back to add the images)
