This guy took me from utterly clueless (my most relevant experience was making a half-life 2 map a decade before) to being able to CAD up pretty much any part I need for 3D printing. For example, I'm working on a custom controller for space games:


Thanks for the link, your parts look great!

Augh I just tried to take a design for an ergonomic keyboard (redox manuform) and edit the fusion 3d file to have alps opening rather than just cherry MX (just making the holes slightly larger) and so went back, back, back in the timeline along the bottom, made the change and then let it play forward and it totally hosed up the design. I have a lot to learn.

What are my options for adding organic/natural-looking textures to parts I'm designing, across SW, Rhino 6, and Aspire? I'm mostly looking to turn perfect-flat plane surfaces into something with a liiiiiiittle bit of roughness and height variability, without any visible tiling or repetition. Also interested in much fancier/more ornamental texturing, being able to simulate hammer-textured metal would rule, for example, but just being able to add some noise to a surface would be a great start.

I kinda experimented with this recently, was making curtain pull knobs and googled 3d print knurling to try and find something. The easiest thing I came up with was to use the coil tool in fusion 3d to cut a spiral groove in the cylindrical part, but then I found out this slicer software called IdeaMaker has a texture feature:

The interface is pretty wonky but it does work

I'm thinking of buying the new fusion 360 beginner's course from prusa academy - saw mentioned on a fb group that the quizzes are quite challenging.
