Thanks.
I learned a lot of what I did from videos on YouTube, so I can't really take credit for much of the technique.
And my design work had its share of flaws
Nah that's perfect even. it's like when I do cooking examples and things like that I'll show when I've burned something. That's a very important part, I believe at least, of any tutorial. Shows we're human and lets any would be learner, feel comfortable because they don't have to do it just like you. And if you got ideas from afar, cool. But remember that no one else put what you worked on together, but you. So perhaps tricks or combinations of theories or ideas you've been able to cobble together, haven't really been thought of by others. It's kind of a funny thing to think about. But no one person will ever know what other people don't know. So when you're doing something for fun, teaching, just sharing your process, and so on. Feel free to go over the basics, or at least what you personally feel are the basics, that way for that person who didn't know. Not only do they now know, but they didn't have to ask anyone.
Like, ok, if I'm explaining 3d printing, I'll always point out what rafts and struts are. If you've printed something in 3D before, you likely immediately know what they are, as they are a sort of optional base that helps prop up thinner models, meant to be broken away from the model at the end of construction process. So anyone who was coming in new, can look at their Cura or whatever software and sees "use raft" and goes OHHHHHH... gotcha.
All in all though, seriously, really fun thread to read, great build!
