It’s software cad. You write code that makes the 3d model. And then you print the 3d model.

The last “official release” was 2 years ago. But development (and community) is active. You gotta get the nightly builds.

    Build a simple house model! Make it configurable using customiser, it’s pretty cool watching it rerender itself. Or make a LEGO brick, also a fun exercise.

    Some of the things I made with it:

    • the iconic “days without accidents” plate with changeable numbers
    • an iPhone stand with slope customizable in the customiser
    • a simple toy bed
    • a keychain of the Lemmy logo
    • a custom phone case
    • a configurable task list with sliders
    • a calendar that automatically calculates the correct day of week, meaning no matter what year you set in the customiser, the days are always correct
