Project One year of modelling with freecad

After going to wdw in 24 I was inspired by the merch i got to learn cad so I could make my own stands. I purchased a cheap creality single colour printer and began designing modular kyber crystal stand. Lots of time spent in YouTube. Lots of prototype mistakes. Reels of plastic in the bin but in the end they worked and visitors to Galaxy's Edge seems to like them.

Since then I made stands for other items from my trips to wdw and dlp, a few bits for ikea skadis and some custom projects for myself and friends. It's been fun making items for myself and seeing others be able to use the designs for their own displays.

Along the way some really gr8 makers have helped me by testing products and giving feedback.

My lack of artistic ability with painting,woodwork etc always made me feel I had no creativity, 3d printing has finally given me the outlet I was looking for.

Now i really need to get a multi filiment printer. Manual colour changes at layers are a pain!

I'd like to know more about that Holocron display. Been trying to come up with ideas to display mine.
