do we get to see the finished product? Or is it pay per view

You've already seen the CAD item. How about once the transaction is complete and manufacture begins, I upload a picture of the items in production and Calvin then uploads a picture of them painted and installed?

God dam contracts, don't you just press send?

Err, I can send the design file but the finished items need postage.

Well, Calvin's job was so quick it left me wanting more, so I'm now printing this design I made up a few minutes ago to accommodate a card reader into the front of my PC:

Download 3D printing files 150x43mm to 100x25mm panel ? Cults

The problem is about trying to mount this:



into this:



to get something like this:



Oh, and this morning I got an email telling me I'd sold another of my online designs, this time for a security camera wall mount.

An envelope with some parcel shelf strap knob pegs left RAAF Base Ediburgh Post Office this afternoon headed for the magical land of Calvinia.

Keep the expectation up, though, Mick. @calvinnwq is on the hook to complete the pictorial saga with shots of the finished item fitted.

Just received them in the mail.

The screw holes ended up being a tad too narrow so might have to hit up Bunnings for some new screws at some point and some spray paint. But otherwise they fit great into the slot hole, just need the right screw to secure them down or drill the holes a little larger.

Will add some images at some point.

I guess you're going to Bunnings anyway but the perfect outcome for me is no added unnecessary cost. Without having the screws with me, I opted for a slightly conservative dimension. If the holes ended up too big it would have been a minor design disaster.
You can carefully drill out the holes in between testing the screws until they're good, but it's up to you what works best.

Ended up going to Bunnings, managed to get what I needed and here's some pictures!

Comparisons:




The other 2 were more evenly shaped and i went with one of those as the replacement piece.





I used 2 spring washers + a large washer to actually fill out the hole edges.

Did not get any spray paint, but I'll live with the red knob for now until I decide to buy a can.

Thanks everyone for following this journey, it's been fun.

Also big props to @The Gonz especially.

I thought I said somewhere to get 2, a matching set. Must've only thought it.
Hint: nail polish works well

I sent Calvin 3 of gradually improving quality, which gave the option of using the best one, or two, and spare.

[calvinnwq]

I might sand it smoother before doing a paint over when i find some time and interest

Could do that with your avatar too.
Looks a little rough around the edges
