This part is so basic, it’s a 14 on the pH scale, so we’re going to spend very little time on it…
There. Finished.

Who doesn’t love a good mashup? Take two (or more) things you like, smush them together, and you may end with one EPIC thing of your own design!

Guys, The Force Awakens opens next month!
This – this doesn’t really have anything to do with that, but still!
Onshape recently added a feature to include variables, and it was the update I had been waiting to see, but not the one I asked for.
This project began when a buddy of mine sent me a link to his then-new keychain.
My immediate thought: I could do that!
Everyone working in 3D modeling or design should have a mouse fashioned to operate within all of those dimensions.
I was unaware of this until a seasoned veteran of engineering showed me the light.
Universal Serial Bus? More like, Ultimate Sword Blade!
Between the learning experience of the Drachenbox One, and the DrachenberryPi configurations, I had a few parts left over, which was irritating. It pains me to have useful components like LiPo batteries and charging circuits sitting idly in storage until another project needing them comes along. It occurred to me later than I’d like to admit that a LiPo battery and charging circuit makes for a great project in and of itself.
I am a big fan of archery. I have been since first taking up a bow during a P.E. class way back in high school (arguably the best part of my high school experience, P.E. or otherwise), feeling the tautness of the string as I drew the arrow back, and the sweet satisfaction of nailing the target upon release.
So far, my experience with Onshape has been limited (because: baby), but spectacular.
For those looking for a well thought-out parametric modeling tool to make amazing things without going all-out on a professional software like SolidWorks, PTC,or Inventor, this is it.
Did I mention that it’s free? Yeah it is!
