Going to try to learn how to design 3D models for printing by making a Very Important Lady (from the Twirlywoos) stacking toy. I'm astonished nobody has done this before. I've never done this before, any good tutorials on using some sort of free CAD software? Video is a clip from the TV show showing the Very Important Lady https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0QZr7p9SlU
(The important thing that this clip is missing is that she regularly falls apart and squeaks a very plaintive "me me meeee" until the Twirlywoos put her back together.)
@CatherineFlick I’ve just been reminded just how surreal Twirlywoos is, haven’t watched it in years. I learnt what Fusion 360 I know from this very relaxed Australian guy on YouTube.
@jon there’s a poor lady on it that I’m sure is cursed to be tormented by the Twirlywoos. They always show up and ruin what she’s doing.
@CatherineFlick I would recommend starting with TinkerCAD. It’s great for that sort of thing.
@Floppy @CatherineFlick I use blender myself. Must try tinkerCAD
@Darkedge @Floppy @CatherineFlick TinkerCAD is amazing and perfect to learn on. Probably underpowered compared to Blender. I love Fusion 360 (free hobbyist license) for functional 3D printed object design, although I’m looking at Blender or SketchUp for my garden office project.
