    I’ve been trying to make a lego golf playing automaton for about three years, and I keep running into issues with the system that brings balls up from inside of the model to the surface, and keep having to completely redesign the mechanism. I’m now starting on my fourth redesign.

      I'm getting my ass kicked by trying to recreate a pop tube kids toy using 3d printing so that I can use the bistable mechanism elsewhere in headphones pads. I could probably do it in a horizontal orientation, but I want vertical, and everything turns into a spring so far, so I feel ya ATM. Those little details are such a pain. I'm on FreeCAD file 2, body 7, and just swapped my typical 0.6mm nozzle for a 0.25mm... We're gettin serious now!
