Does anyone here want to guide me to get to my first Prints?
Hi
Sry in the last years my Health not improve but I realy would like print some stuff for me to make the life better Accessible like an special Handle for the Fridge and other stuff. I already assemble my MK3 but I am total confuse what next and how to design something. So if here someone want take your Time to help me to get my first Prints pls tell me. I use an IRC Server who someone I know operate for comuniation. So if you have an IRC Client its easy to add his Server.
Thanks
if you can build a MK3 then you have reasonable dexterity.
Can you draw the part(s) you require?
Can you measure the fitting points for the existing parts and incorporate those into your drawing?
If so - you have done most of the work already ...
it's just a matter of finding software to translate from concept to stl.
Cheerio,

It just took me 1- 2 Years.

Looks like you have not provided your IRC server address?
You can join Prusa discord https://discord.com/invite/4a9uE5yG ( it's like Slack or other chats like iRC but within in browser with image/url preview etc) and ask there ( or even talk on audio/video.
Related to software, I guess tinkercad is the easiest option for making models via web browser, which allows to export .STL files you can load into PrusaSlicer or other software. Also there are really great tutorials on YouTube how to use it.

like iRC
Are there some IRC who works?
RE: Does anyone here want to guide me to get to my first Prints?
can you explain in more detail what do you mean?

I use normally only an IRC Server since I can customise everyonething in the client. That not work with some proprietary stuff.
RE: Does anyone here want to guide me to get to my first Prints?
ah, well, ok.
From IRC servers I used to hang out on Libera Chat and Quakenet, but haven't used them for years, mainly because most people migrated to Discord/Slack.

OK, reasonable but slow...
I wonder, OpenSCAD is purely text based and can be very potent:
For example, this handle, designed upside down for printability, is produced by the following code:
// Demo fridge handle // This assumes the handle is held by two screws screwspacing=80; // mm - alter to measurement screwcentretoedge=25; // mm - alter to measurement screwdiameter=3; // mm - alter to measurement screwheaddiameter=6; // mm - alter to measurement handlelength=100; // alter as desired handlewidth=50; // alter as desired handleheight=50; // alter as desired handlethickness=10; // alter as desired // Calculated from above mountplateheight=screwspacing+20; mountplatewidth=screwcentretoedge*2; $fn=50; // Increase if you need smoother curves translate([mountplatewidth/2,mountplateheight/2,0]){ hull(){ cylinder(d=handlewidth,h=handlethickness*1.5); translate([handlelength-handlewidth,0]){ cylinder(d=handlewidth,h=handlethickness*1.5); } } } difference(){ hull(){ translate([0,0,handleheight-handlethickness]){ cube([mountplatewidth,mountplateheight,handlethickness]); } translate([mountplatewidth/2,mountplateheight/2,handlethickness]){ cylinder(d=handlewidth/2,h=1); } } translate([screwcentretoedge,(mountplateheight-screwspacing)/2,0]){ screwhole(); } translate([screwcentretoedge,mountplateheight-(mountplateheight-screwspacing)/2,0]){ screwhole(); } } module screwhole(){ cylinder(d=screwheaddiameter,h=handleheight-handlethickness/2-(screwheaddiameter-screwdiameter)/2); translate([0,0,handleheight-handlethickness/2-(screwheaddiameter-screwdiameter)/2]){ cylinder(d1=screwheaddiameter,d2=screwdiameter,h=(screwheaddiameter-screwdiameter)/2); } translate([0,0,handleheight-handlethickness/2]){ cylinder(d=screwdiameter,h=handlethickness); } }

ou can join Prusa discord https://discord.com/invite/4a9uE5yG
RE: Does anyone here want to guide me to get to my first Prints?
Probably discord invite expired after 7 days.
Maybe mods could provide a new one?

I am not sure whether that is a valuable resource or not, but you might want to give it a go: https://www.reddit.com/r/prusa3d/comments/1393czg/anyone_have_the_link_to_the_official_prusa_discord/
