DEVLOG #4: in which i tweak out over my second failed ID holder prototype

(i was sad)

(i really was)

wassup hackers!!! this devlog was certainly a ride. a ride in which i made a NEW detailed ID holder nothing like my old failed prototype… and it still failed anyways.

the steps to making my sad fumbly prototype?

measure your ID card (should be default size)
make the base holder in Fusion 360
cut out a window to actually SEE the card
add pretty details to the back

so the ID holder was for writers to use in case they ever went to conferences and needed something swaggy and shiny and sturdy too. sounds chill, but then i pulled out my school ID, and i sorta scratched the hell out of that. oops

i also forgot to make a separate pulling-out-the-card mechanism, in all my excitement to make the back detailing… ouch. hopefully this prints out well enough to push the ID in and out safely.

“at least the back looks nice, though, arisha!” you might say.

but yeah, nope, i put it into my printer’s slicer… and my designs got cut off. so i redesigned for the third time! turns out the initial feather bits were too thin.

i also tried a new print orientation! instead of horizontal, i’m printing vertically, so that should HYPOTHETICALLY work better in reducing print stringiness. so long, stars! time to actually finish this project… eventually.
keep shining :D
