I think this should be straightforward...

My numpty way of doing it would be take the PNG, convert to SVG (online), that can then be imported to TinkerCAD, you can then set heights etc. and trim

Something like this

Sounds like they have at least partially responded.

Pretty much! Helped by the fact that a delta printer is a bit faster, I have used 1kg of filament...

Really happy with the pots, simple design, I just had to fiddle with the dimensions to match the pots.

Have you checked Thingiverse? Lots of Brompton stuff on there, might be a file that could be modified at least.

Loving printing random things at the moment. Last way being plant pots and 3D letters of my company name. Also printed stands for my Lego cars.

My brother who is a mobile plant mechanic uses one and really rates it, and given that he has to trek across fields to diggers with it, it gets plenty of abuse!

Worth keeping an eye on https://www.powertoolmate.co.uk/storage/velocity/

They stock a decent amount of velocity stuff, and often have deals on (they had 5% off site wide this weekend for example)

If you are on Facebook it is worth joining this group https://www.facebook.com/groups/powertoolmateexclusivedeals as they do post decent deals in there.

3D printed some stands for my Lego cars…

Yep, that is very much near me.

We used these guys

Had no complaints at all, turned up when they said they would and did the job to a good standard, our install was trickier than most as we are in an old building so walls aren’t straight. They also fitted a normal sized door on the back of the garage for free to sweeten the deal.

We did notice a dent in one of the panels afterwards, contacted them and they came back and replaced the slat and as an apology gave me another slat for free in case I damage one in the future.

Yep, was cheaper for us to get a electric sectional roller than a manual. It’s great, 5m wide and no issues at all.

It’s addictive.

I’m up to 21 cars now I think…!

Ha, welcome indeed!

I have just bought a magnetic bed for mine, was having a few issues with prints sticking too much to the bed, so a removable bed for £25 or so seemed a sensible thing to try.

Mine has been running pretty much full time since I got it, and not had any major failures at all yet.

Really need to work out how to do 3D modelling now though.

Yep, they really are, have yet to find anything that has marked or stained it that couldn't be removed with a bit of elbow grease.

Its not ceramic, its made from the same man made material as the worktop, so corian equivalent.

There are no joins, so nowhere for mould to grown, really easy to clean (can just bleach it) and if it does get badly marked or scratched it can be sanded back and bought up like new.

I have a sink like this, had it a year or so now, one of the best things I have ever done.

Ah yes, the stock one does seem a little flimsy.

Currently using Cura as my slicer. I know pretty much nothing about 3D modelling so going to see if there are some tutorials I can use to learn something like OpenSCAD

No problems, was amazed how easy it was to set up!

Yes, used the paper approach aligned with some eyeballing, seems to have worked so far.

so far things are adhering well, but only doing relatively simple prints, nothing with supports needed yet.

It is mesmerising to watch it work...

Its about 30cm by 40cm, but significantly higher than other printers, as the filament sits on top.

Went with the eBay one , so thanks to you and @Brun for the recommendation.

Have printed the nut and bolt, and a little personalised lego brick which it did with zero issues. Now attempting to print a lego car stand. After that is some monopoly money organisers for my daughter...

Not bad for a first test print!

It's a sturdy house, survived a ww2 bomb landing at the bottom of ther garden...

Well this is in a old stone house where the walls are about a metre thick. I'm sure he was being purposefully glib to put our minds at ease! And touch wood since we renovated there has been no further signs of movement.

How many domains is it? Worst case you could use a helper column to strip out the suffix using nested substitute functions?

Our house had much larger cracks than that, and we didn't have to underpin, just helicoiled and made good, all planned and signed off by a structural engineer. He told us the rough rule of thumb, if you can fit a hand in, then its fine, put an arm in you helicoil, put a body in then you need more drastic measures.

Yes, only uses the studs for the minifigures, taking your idea a step further I wonder if I could design a small lips which would hold a 2x2 lego plate, avoiding the need for glue.
