3D Printer to the Rescue!

Traveling Pill Container

It has been a long time since I printed something with my 3D printer. The last project was to print out a traveling pill box, which I ended up using when I went to Montreal during the last Thanksgiving holidays.

This morning my wife approached me with a request to create a part for the Silver Reed LK150 Knitting Machine. This part had custom dimensions, which I had to design with Autodesk Fusion 360.

It has also been a very long time since I designed something with Fusion 360, but kudos to the people at Autodesk to continue to allow people such as myself to use Fusion 360 for free as long as it is for personal use.

As always with these 3D project, it is very much measure three times, and draw once. I have to re-acclimate myself with how to use Fusion 360, but after about fifteen minutes, I was back at it, drawing lines, and creating polygons. The final outcome is shown below.

As you can see, I did a pretty good job!
