Nesco VS-12. Bought it a couple of cyber Monday sales back and it’s been a winner. Paid $99.
Use it for more than freezing food, leftover rice, remaining onion half, and even seal but don’t vacuum dishwasher or clothes washer pods when traveling so they don’t leak in the suitcase.
I like SketchUp for my woodworking stuff and wanted it to work with 3D but the shortcomings at the time weren’t worth it. The product could have changed so this could be dated.
Always seemed to fight getting models watertight which has been no issue with tinker, fusion, openscad, or freecad. Also, it was hard with curved objects. Lastly, it didn’t have parametric support which is a must for design once/use many things. As an example, I have a simple funnel with a lip to fit into bottles or whatever. Need one for a different container? Just a couple of adjustments and I’m printing.
Not saying not to use it but others have listed many alternatives for 3D that are superior. SketchUp seems to have a good community for questions it’s just that other tools have better (IMO.)
Totally agree with Bishma on Tinkercad, it has limits but you’ll be building stuff. I came from SketchUp which isn’t strong for 3D printing, played with Blender for a short bit then sucked it up and dove into Fusion.
I started watching videos from Paul McWhorter on YouTube who walks through things slowly instead of some of the other guys who go at a lightening fast pace, not saying they aren’t good but too many what just happened there moments. Paul’s videos are slightly dated but still strong for basics.
Wife got me into the hobby to go along with my other interests like woodworking and restoration, "something to keep him busy", but she’s a beast for scouring thingiverse and printables for stuff along with her own "what if" ideas. It’s great, sometimes I’m not interested in the object but getting there is so cool.
Could be semantics but I configure (tune?) my profile to brand and color and leave it unless a roll is printing oddly. Basically, I’m looking for adjustments to flow, retraction speed and distance. Overture black and white are the same but recently used a hot pink and bright green from two different manufacturers where my Cura Overture Black/white profile sucked.
I’ve heard about this which is to challenge card sharing obviously. Heading there next week and see if my location is doing it. Memberships are for households so what are they validating? Same address and over 16 is what defines the extra household card.
Can’t say I mind, guess there’s a few positions on it.
Interesting situation. Prigozhin has criticized the Russian military over the past few months and Putin has stayed silent. Now this and the military responds but Putin remains silent. Putin needs a weak military to avoid being overthrown, but the FSB opens an investigation, why? Prigozhin threatens to attack the russian military and comes up with a story/lie that he realizes the Ukrainian invasion was based on lies. What does Prigozhin want, money a coup?
We’ll be in Aberdeen this September. Drop in between castles for lunch.
My bad, I misread your post and thought you were talking about the 19 innocent people killed by Russian missiles in April of this year. Sorry, my bad.
Sixty people die when Russia bombs a Ukrainian school and it passes by without much reaction. A sub with 4 people who know the risk of what they’re doing and a billionaire thrill seeker goes missing and it’s news to follow hourly.
Thanks Liz. We had almost forgotten that but now you’ve jogged our memories on how funny that was.
From afar Macron sometimes looks like a capable leader, transitions for decent periods of petulant child, and finishes with clueless on major issues.
