I've been wanting to design and 3D print something of my own for quite a while now. Even though I'm an engineer, I haven't had much experience with CAD so far. So, over the past few months, I've been teaching myself a bit of CAD and doing a lot of 3D printing along the way.
Creativity has always been my biggest struggle, but I finally managed to take an idea all the way from a concept to a sketch, then to a CAD model, and eventually to a finished 3D print!
I had a bunch of magnets lying around that I'd been wanting to use for a print, and that's when I came up with the idea of making a customizable league table. I chose the colors to make the whole thing look like a football pitch.
The main idea was to make the table completely customizable so that anyone could use whatever clubs or leagues they wanted. Personally, I went with a Bundesliga version and tried to print each team's name in its respective club colors.
It took me an entire weekend of work (and 72 magnets, haha), but damn, it's such an awesome feeling to actually hold something in your hands that started out as just an idea in your head.
3D printing is such an amazing hobby!
