restrict the exhaust* of the vacuum with a bit of paper / card
Worked a little more on the tent pole stuff today, printed these as testers. Iām gonna get some smaller grub screws/increase the thickness to prevent wear on the fabric of the tents, and probably offset the mount a bit to keep it from being in direct contact with the fabric. The screw hole closest to the pole needs to be shifted outward a bit in order to make contact with the wood, and it needs to be changed to fit the true dimensions of standard lumber. I canāt decide what thickness is best, but I feel like 3/4" is about the minimum
Changing the design to 4 of these at the corners instead of two larger ones cut the print time 75% and reduced the plastic used a good bit as well
Awesome to see what a little imagination time and programming can do. Top work lads
Got a little warping in these, but itās about what I had in mind

reminder!
last day for submissions!
I havenāt learnt enough yet !!!
oh shit, I forgot this was a contest lol. Too much fun making stuff
still got time boys!
Hereās the seed sorter files for mine, I added a 17.4mm hole for a 1/2" npt tap. Iām not gonna invest too much more time into it right now

Good job to everyone who submitted models, and helped chime in on the seed separator design. There are a lot of extremely talented individuals here, thanks for making this place what is it.
So here are the contestants, let the best two win!

Winners pm me with your shipping info!
Great job everybody who contributed drawings and added to our think tank!
If your going to put in the time on learning CAD than I suggest signing up to Autodesk as a student. You can download it for for free and use it for two years. I use inventor and plant. I actually started on eMachine shop at my early stages of trying to develop my CAD skills last year. I wish I never wasted my time on a less advance one.
Fusion 360 is what i downloaded because of @Soxhlet
At the moment iām having a nightmare trying to make 90 degree connectors. Im trying to sketch a DIY cryo chiller, I have the cooling coil but can not change the origin so i can connect, either its because the coil needs to be its own component or im just smoking to much while trying to learn lllol. Give me 3 month ā¦
Donāt burn yourself out in trying figure the software. CAD is one of those type of software programs that requires time to develop proficient skills in. Devoting only two hours a day is what I recommend.
Ok, youtube learning class 2 hours a day it is ā¦
are you trying to mate 2 assembles? It sounds like you are trying to connect something with the start of a coil?
Yes sort of. I thinkā¦
Anyway. Scap the idea for now. Itās far too complex for my level of ability.
My new project starting tonight.
Two shafts that mesh together and rotate lol.
We will seeā¦
Best way to learn any cad platform IMO is find some dimensioned drawings of parts and make them in CAD. Thereās no considering the design so you can just focus on using the program
Havenāt been getting enough airflow through my tent, so I started on a baffle intake that slots into one of the fan inlets. I need to add a couple more baffles, seal it up and paint it, then figure out what the ideal filter paper is
Couldnāt figure out a good way to print in one piece, but I think this is elegant enough given the application
