HexTrivet
Based on my previous post of comparing different 3d apps for 3d printing, I thought I’d give Autodesk Fusion 360 a shot at making a simple hexagonal “trivet”: My goal is to try to eventually cast this in aluminum, to see how well the small structures work. But in the mean-time, things I learned:
- How to create exacting-sized objects in the software: It’s 100mm wide, and 5mm tall.
- How to create my name & author year, and boolean that into the base of the solid.
Each trivet takes about an hour to print on my Makerbot Replicator (1), at 200 micron, with 2 shells, and 10% infill, using light blue PLA. Took maybe… 20 minutes model?
