Check out my 2nd channel, TT Racing: https://www.youtube.com/@ttracingYT To get the best out of 3D printing, it helps if you can design your own parts. In this tutorial series, we will learn to use a free 3D CAD program to do just that. In this episode, I demonstrate how to alter the mating surfaces of multi part designs to include a shadow line. This technique is used in most professionally produced injection molded parts and offers a range of benefits. 3D design for 3D printing source CAD: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/b5475ccd1f83733e348c59b0/w/f0f78c61f2ac76b0b03c0692/e/ca79817610f17c7ec08c141b?renderMode=0&uiState=64b62dfcf9e29341a631eb04 0:00 Introduction 3D design for 3D printing playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGqRUdq5ULsONnjEEPeBxxStEsobDKAtV 0:40 Injection molding recap 1:32 Injection molding design features to ignore 3D printing vs injection molding video: https://youtu.be/xW1Ob5uzfF8 Sumitomo bottle cap video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=og4Uw5bJhO0 2:50 Shadow lines 3:23 Simple example - box PEO patterned bed on Aliexpress: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DCTHuU1 7:15 Complex example - curved mating surfaces Lumimate torch video: https://youtu.be/DAnosimSZlE 11:38 Summary of benefits Buy quality and affordable filament from X3D.
