    I got my son the first 3d printer in our entire family - last week. I have already borrowed it to make several things from scratch. TinkerCad is amazing for that.

    I am genuinely surprised that you spent “years” before taking this step. Not even making any adjustments to stuff you downloaded?

      For the past 8 years I have primarily printed things I found online for D&D and whatever was useful without modifying it, except for scaling of course. Anything more intimidated me because that was getting into an artistic realm that is way outside of my comfort zone. But recently I have been doing a lot of retrospective analysis and decided that I am not going to let my comfort zone limit me anymore.

    Nice! The first design is always a big step!

    Are you having space for magnets in there?

    If you’d like I’d suggest to put the files in printables.com, that way everyone can profit and remix your designs!

      Yep. I have some 18mm neodymium magnets so I made four little pockets for in the back and hot glued them in.
