Attention over time

7-day rolling share of analyzed posts/comments mentioning this entity · 90 daily points ending 2026-09-01

Final complete day: 2026-09-01. Attention was 0.2% — this entity appeared in 30 of 17,943 analyzed posts/comments in the seven days ending that day (38 mentions).

Each point is a seven-day rolling window of complete UTC days; a point is comparable only when at least 100 analyzed posts or comments fall inside it. A day with no analyzed records counts as zero; missing coverage is marked and never shown as zero. The series ends at the latest complete analyzed day — it never extends into the current incomplete day. How attention is measured.

   Yep exactly. Plus like the other reply said, your project is just going to end up buried in a sea of public projects. I have a decade of experience with Solidworks and Inventor. I've been using Onshape for a year now and honestly, I find it hard to go back to the others. It's continually improved on in very significant ways and the workflow in general is really intuitive once you get used to it.

   I would look at some of slant 3ds videos on part design for fdm on youtube. Great learning resource about this type of thing. Honestly doing anything like that is kind of a pita in tinkercad, I started in tinker also, but wish I had moved on sooner, it was worth learning a real cad package, I would have saved myself a ton of time long term. Onshape is web based and free (if you are ok with your models being available online), fusion 360 is free for personal use both are much better for part design once you get over a bit of learning curvem even newer versions of freecad are worth looking at compared to tinker. (I prefer onshape's interface it was just more intuitive for me than fusions). With onshape for example you would just add mate connectors where you want and then do a transform on one part to move it to the mate connector. As far as the actual connectors dovetails work well, other wood working style connectors also work well. Depends on how you plan to print and join them. There are also different connector designs that lock and unlock for 3d printing, just depends on what you are trying to do.

   I’ve only ever heard about the fact your stuff is public with OnShape and haven’t actually looked at it… if you name your file something obscure, I assume that’d help it even further into obscurity? lol

   Onshape, Fusion, or similar. But I would also do a picture search on AliExpress. Maybe you can find a replacement part there.

   Onshape or freecad. Onshape works in the browser and is very similar to fusion. Freecad is open source so no chance of a licence change forcing you to switch to another program.
