Restarting my Hackpad build again on SelfCAD… the modes kept switching and confusing me, and I kept adding blocks until I literally forgot how many I placed
I’m not even sure if I’m going in the right direction, but after messing around with it for a bit I finally think I got the hang of it.
Round 2, let’s see how far I get

Restarting my Hackpad AGAIN… now on SelfCAD.
I tried making the 3×3 switch holes but SelfCAD started lagging, glitching, and refusing to let me duplicate cubes 💀
I had random cubes floating everywhere and the app was moving like it was underwater, so I cut the recording short before I lost my mind.
Does anyone else’s SelfCAD act like this or is it just beefing me personally??

Worked on my Hackpad case again and honestly I don’t know what I’m doing 😭. I’m staring at Tinkercad wondering if I should just switch to something else because this app is beefing with me for no reason. I’m gonna start using the actual Hack Club guide because maybe that will stop me from losing braincells, and I’m trying to stop relying on AI every 2 seconds… but also I still don’t know if I need help or not. I’m just clicking things, aligning things, deleting things, praying things. The case is happening though. Slowly. Chaotically. I’m surviving.

Restarted the case. Added cylinders. I’m just clicking things at this point and praying it becomes a Hackpad.

Spent this whole session trying to line up the PCB area and I swear Tinkercad was fighting me the entire time. The view kept snapping weirdly, the layout kept shifting, and I had to redo the same thing like five times. I didn’t hollow the case yet because I was too busy trying not to throw my laptop, but at least I finally figured out where the PCB space needs to go. Next step: hollowing the case… if I survive.

Okay so… I wasn’t supposed to be doing Part 2 yet but my brain said “nope, we’re building again.”
It’s literally been like 2 hours since I posted Part 1, but I got bored and my inner self just wouldn’t let me stop. So here I am, already working on the case walls and base plate.I swear this part nearly finished me off. The ground kept moving away every time I tried to place something. I’d line it up perfectly, then Tinkercad would just slide the whole thing like it was on ice. I was actually getting frustrated because nothing wanted to stay still.But eventually I managed to get the base plate under the keys and started building the frame around it. It took way longer than it should’ve because everything kept shifting, but I got it done in the end.Anyway, here’s the progress. I’ll probably keep going because my brain refuses to chill. Good luck to me, honestly.

Today I worked on my Hackpad case in Tinkercad, and honestly it was a whole mess.
I kept messing things up, stopping the recording, Googling every two minutes, then coming back just to mess up again. It felt like I was stuck in a loop of “wait… what am I even doing.”The text on the keycaps nearly finished me. I was clicking everything except the right thing, scrolling in places that didn’t even scroll, opening random menus like I knew what I was doing. But eventually I figured it out, and it actually felt good when it finally worked. Anyway, I placed the keycaps and added text to some of them. I’ll finish the rest later after I mentally reboot myself. To whoever’s reading this… yeah, that’s all. Good luck to both of us lol.
