I. Intro
Date: August – September 2022
Since there were so many things near the sink in the bathroom, I decided to build a shelf and put everything on there. But the space is limited, and I couldn’t find any shelf that would fit at the corner of the basin. So I had to design one for myself.
II. Design
I measured the space at the corner. With the known dimensions, the CAD model was quickly made just under an hour.
III. Build
I was dealing with the problem of the 3D printer most of the time:
- It stoped printing in the middle of nowhere.
- Circle became oval.
- Some places were not 100% filled.
These were the things I don’t know how to solve. When I was printing the first part, everything worked fine. It wasted my a lot of materials, moreover, an enormous of time. Waiting for days (because I couldn’t go check the printer every day), and the printer gave me bad news.
Then I went to the 3D printing lab in the ME building, but nothing was helpful at all.
Eventually, after sacrificing a lot of material and time, the shelf was partially done. I only used 3 columns on each layer. It stood at least.
Unfortunately, I don’t have the picture. It was a gift to my friend.
