I began exploring 3D design in 2003/2004, starting with GMax and Flight Simulator 2004. After months of frustration, trial, and error, I finally figured out the program and began creating simple objects. My journey continued with Autodesk 3DS Max, which offered a more advanced feature set.

In 2004, I discovered the virtual world of Second Life. Despite my efforts, I couldn't quite grasp 3D creation there as I did with GMax or 3DS Max. However, in 2010, Second Life introduced mesh capabilities, allowing me to use 3DS Max to create objects and import them into the virtual grid. That's when Design Creations came to life. Alongside my wife, Nikki, we delved into a creative frenzy, designing houses, furniture, architectural features, and more. We transitioned from Second Life to InWorldz and even experimented with our own grid, but eventually, our interest waned amidst increasing drama in the virtual worlds.

We took a break from the virtual scene until 2020, the year of COVID, when a fortunate opportunity allowed us to revive Design Creations. We converted our garage into a workshop/den, equipped with tools, a GlowForge, a 3D printer, and a small CNC machine, and immersed ourselves in creation.

Since then, I’ve been refining my 3D printing skills, brushing up on 3D modeling, and learning about laser engraving, etching, and cutting. The CNC machine remains a challenging but exciting endeavor.

Currently, I mostly download and modify designs, creating remixes as I practice with my printers. I also dabble in a few original designs. My specialty lies in non-organic, geometric items such as architectural pieces and building blocks. Occasionally, on a particularly good day, I might venture into more fluid designs, but let's leave the specifics of my inspiration for those days to the imagination.

I downloaded the M79 Blooper. The barrel is too big for my work area. Is there any way possible for you to make a file for the barrel to be printed in two or more pieces? Same with the rear stock pieces. I am not smart enough to turn your present files into that way. Thank you.

There isn't one. There are three pieces. a Left mount, Right mount and a knob. The mounts are positioned a little bit more that a spool's width apart. The spool rests on the extrusion of the Left mount. The knob then screws into the right mount and through to the filament spool. If this feels unstable to you, you can always cut a length of wooden dowel to fit into the holes of the knob and the left mount's extrusion.

No hay uno. Hay tres piezas. una montura izquierda, una montura derecha y una perilla. Los soportes se colocan un poco más separados que el ancho de un carrete. El carrete descansa sobre la extrusión del soporte izquierdo. Luego, la perilla se atornilla en el soporte derecho y a través del carrete de filamento. Si esto le parece inestable, siempre puede cortar un trozo de espiga de madera para que encaje en los orificios de la perilla y la extrusión de la montura izquierda.

Standard CA glue and screws/nuts I had on hand. Nothing special.

Bonsoir, j'avais une question au sujet de l'impression du M79 quelle colle avez vous utiliser ainsi que les vis utilisées pour les parties de la gâchette .
Merci
