3D Printed Nose Piece for Glasses
February 14th, 2024If you are new to 3D printing (like me) a great way to practice is to find something very small. The smaller the better.
I broke my nose piece. That sucks. Do I solder it back on? Nah, I'm going to 3D print a new one.
So I made this SVG:
And then iterated in Blender to test scale, add nose pads, add the glasses grove. Note on the third try, to add a piece I joined two objects together in Blender. They were attached but I was able to snap it apart. I decided to try deleting that second part and extruding on the first object and this worked much better.
Blender File nose-piece.blend
Then I made it more comfortable and this is what I currently have.
