My First 3D Design

 Ha the modern world.

I sketched this and uploaded it to chatgpt and it returned me:  
STL for 3D printing
STEP model
Editable OpenSCAD model 

 

 

These were the written instructions:

 

 Can you do a 3D design so that I can 3D print this?

 

 It's round 25mm long. 

There's a hole through the middle that is 7.8mm diamter for 10mm depth and then reduces to 6.4mm for the rest. There's two slots at one end 4mm wide and 6mm long. There are two holes at 20mm from one end that I'll drill out to put in a grub screw

Chat GPT:

"There is independent evidence that the girls at Cardabia Station really were a known attraction to RAAF crews flying along that coast. A wartime RAAF pilot, John “Blue” Bailey, later wrote that while flying past Cardabia he saw two girls on the roof waving at his aircraft. He identified them as Wanda French, about 19, and Mara French, about 17. He deliberately made a low pass, and on a later flight actually landed on a nearby claypan to visit the girls and their parents for tea. �

Yes. It's interesting. 

It appears one of dads crashes were as a result of girls. 

In dad's case, we think a wing tip hit the ground and the plane spun out. Killing a crew member but dad and pilot survived with injuries. Apparently there's a inquiry report in the national archives.

I guess young men and young women showing off to each other.

Dad at 10

Aunty marg recites a story where dad and aunty marg and the brothers walked several miles from the farm homestead to the front gate. Aunty marg was 6 and dad was 10. Aunty marg was then tired and dad piggybacked her back.
