Release 002 - Second Generation Starter AC

It's finally here.

For this release I have chosen to release strictly unsupported parts. This decision was made in order to release this and future assets in a more timely manner, and allow the FDM crowd a much easier time when printing the assets.

With this release I'd like to officially announced that I'll be working on To Hardware Full Time for the foreseeable future.

A huge thank you goes out to all you guys. This one took a lot longer than I w...

Release 001 - First Generation Starter AC

We finally made it!

Below you'll find a 7zip file containing all the parts for print, as well as instructions for assembly.

The First Generation Starter AC will be permanently available for every patron tier.

All the files pertaining to the print are .LYS (Lychee) files. Moving forward I will only be releasing Lychee files for print as they are much, much more stable than their .STL counterparts, which mitigates print errors when it gets in everyone's hands.

An update on To Hardware, and the first release.

I've outsourced the application of supports for the prints to Atlas 3DSS for the foreseeable future.

This means my time is immensely freed up from doing this long winded leg of the project, and also means I can spend more time working out the actual parts while they're getting print ready/tested.

In lieu of this, I've had to ditch my sprue/runner system I designed. Each individual part will be available to print on their own—on the off-chance you experience/suffer from a print f...

First Release: It's almost here!

There has been a lot of work going on for the project. I know not much has been shown here, but if you're in the Discord, then you know I've been hard at work making sure that once these releases get in your hands, It's as smooth sailing as I can possibly make it be

The entirety of the Gen 1 Starter is finished, and is broken up into it's printable components.

I just finalized the print scaffolding system (what i'm calling the "Packages") for the parts as well.

First release preview: Gen 1 Starter.

I've been working through the first release for To Hardware for a couple weeks now.

Joints are still being developed/designed which is why you don't see them here yet. I need a valid test bed for the Joints in order to continue working on them.

Disclaimer: I only update the Patreon when we've reached milestones (Significant progression, Releases & Patreon related updates).

This is not the place to get the most up-to-date information on the proj...

   2. Joint designs for full articulation**
   3. Print-ready High Detail Pass.***

*This is necessary to ensure all parts work toget...

This update unfortunately took me a little longer to get to you guys than I had initially hoped.

For those of you unaware (or not in the discord) i had injured my shoulder at the beginning of January and it was very difficult for me to work. Thankfully we're back to 100% and it's time to grind :)

OP-INTENSIFY

During my holiday break, I thought it would have been a good idea to get a gift out to all my Patrons who have been supporting me since I started the Patreon.

I managed to get it ready just in time to ring in the New Year, and I can't wait to see everyone's prints.

I hope you enjoy this small token of appreciation. You've all been so awesome, and I can't wait to make more parts in the coming year!

Update:
I've redone a couple of the components, there we...
