3D-Printing Model Documentation
If you want people to be able to use your modeling files effectively, you need a process called 3D Product Documentation. This essential process involves taking down information and leaving it in a folder along with the STL files.
Perspective Drawing for 3D Printing: 1, 2, and 3 Point Perspective
I struggled mightily with the concept of two-point perspective, up until I found a blog post explaining it. Then I merely struggled. Anyhow, here is an attempt at a two-point perspective sketch, made especially impressive by the fact that I kept drawing while the cat tried to wrest the pencil away with his teeth.
How to Create a Technical Drawing for 3D Printing Projects
Having technical drawings made the work SO much easier, goodness. It took far more time initially, but I was able to anticipate most potential problems before they saw the light of day. I realize mine are baby steps, but I feel really good about this. Creating a technical drawing for each of the 3D printed parts helped me avoid some of the earlier problems.
