Some more detail millwork: Revised fireplace mantel for a gut and rebuild project. With a totally new manufactured fireplace, replacement millwork was based on the original design and adjusted to fit new dimensions:
The original drawings from 1991 in PowerDraw 2 & 3 (a pen plotter was the output device at the time). Yes, I was making isometric drawings with it as early as 1989.
Definitely done with a general contractor. I hope to show more of this sometime. It originally was my first solo house project in 1990~91, but it recently had to be completely gutted and rebuilt following a burst pipe flooding that went unnoticed for days. Mostly we were trying to build back what was there before with a few changes and improvements.
A little personal exercise: An Elfa cart in my office. It had a few minor challenges. The @DaveR method for follow me on the wire mesh. All done in a metric template as measurements made more sense in metric.
I’ve had this thing for decades actually, but three of the four plastic blocks that attach the wheels to the frame have broken, so I’m thinking maybe I can 3D print some replacements when I get up and running.
I finally got myself a 3D printer – a Creality K2 Pro. It set up and test printed benchy without a hitch (other than figuring out which way round a ribbon cable connection went). First thing to print was something I had all set up and ready to slice in (ugh!) 2019.
A couple pics, but I’m not doing an “unboxing” video.
It ended up being ca glue.
I also have a thicker plastic cement, uhu or pattex, it takes longer to set, and it squeezes into crevices. Good for glueing big pieces, especially if you plan some hollows for the squeeze out to flow into.
