I have a 52mm design and a NX controller design.

Also designed a switch plate to replace the snap in plate under my radio, plate took 25 mins.

I dont need it but that n20 controller pod is badass!!!!

Awesome stuff. Have been wanting to get myself a printer too to make some custom stuff but I always end up spending the money elsewhere lol

If only I actually had access to the software at home or work to really utilize it. Was offered the training so I couldn't say no but I don't have any way to use it unfortunately

Thanks man, i really enjoy playing around with this stuff. The level of precision is insane. You can set the level of resolution which increases the amount of polygons, when you crank it all the way up the file size is like 12Mb, when it is at it's lowest setting it is like 500k. Beware, when you crank up the resolution, better make sure your computer has the ***** to handle it. I have a top of the line Alienware gaming laptop (i don't play games) and it struggles sometimes. If i continue this i will get a Mac. they handle math alot better. The pod above was designed on the maximum setting.

Yeah when the wife and kiddo go to sleep i just sit up and nerd out on this stuff. Trying different things... You should download it and try it out, i bet you would love it...

Here is a revised Velocity stack thingy. This one is a little bit more beefy. I am gonna get it printed in a ABS like plastic that is for High Temp, rated at 500* F
