It will do very elegant shapes like this one:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 1) Try to reproduce the previous shape (Exercise 3<\/a>) with modules. (correction<\/a>)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2)Do a key ring with a module for the key and on for the ring. In this key ring put text encrusted with a hull shape. (correction<\/a>)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I hope you liked my tutorial and that it will help you for you 3d printing project. If you want some idea for your first shapes to print go check my creation in 3D models<\/a> or on thinginverse<\/a> who is a very cool website with a large database of 3D object created by the community.<\/p>\n I will just finish with a topic on features I would personally like to be implemented on my favorite 3D creation software. For my part it will be very simple things like scroll past end, parenthesis and brackets handle to go faster when tiping.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 5. Modules Modules are used to define an object. It\u2019s a very useful feature you must use in every of your projects.
