Yeah, you made it! I'm so proud and so happy! Even if my health isn't good, everything else is awesome and today, I want to share this new with you. My 3D printed models were downloaded 1000 times!!!
A small history
At the beginning, this is just a small idea: made some tools to help me in my daily life. With my disease, some tasks are quite hard:
- Open a soda can
- Take my medication
- Turn my key to open the door
- Etc...
This small idea is quite big right now. Many users, all around the world use my tools. And after months, I have 6 tools and... 1000 downloads !
A small gift from me to you
To celebrate this milestone, I updated my models to make them awesome:
- My Soda Opener is now smaller and more resistant.
- The Rocket Tool is really easier to print with a better grip
- Better rounding and less broken drugs with the updated Pill Puncher
- You can safely open a ring pull can with the new version of my can opener
- One more texture for my new best friend, the silent textured fidget toy
A new small model too
Yes, A few weeks ago, I've restarted to read. Even if I have a e-reader, some books aren't available in digital format. Nothing is better than a real book, but for some people like me, it's heavy and hard to keep open.
That's why I made a new tool: a Book Holder. Unlike other book holders, my model is more ergonomic with a rounded hole for the thumb. It's really smooth and better for the grip.
Also, this model is parametric. If you use OpenSCAD (a wonderful open-source software to code an 3D object), you can modify many parameters:
- Width
- Height
- Thickness
- Hole diameter
- Display a text
This time, I released this model under the GNU-GPL v3 open-source license. You are allowed to remix this tool, sell it, ... The only one thing is to keep the Attribution. You must add my name and a link to the page of the model.
Conclusion
You know, I never thought I'd have so much visibility and downloads. I have a need, I made something, and VOILA, 1000 downloads. I'm so proud. So I want to say THANK YOU to all of you for your support. Never forget, You are AWESOME!!!
