Trying to design and print a clip for my crisper drawer, learning something new with every print.

That's called "prototyping", and it's an essential step! 🤩🙌🏽

There’s also the “I’m stuck so I need to rest my mind and design a desktop trebuchet” step that falls in there somewhere

Out of curiosity, what do you use for ammunition on your desktop treb? I go with dots- the candy. used to do gobstoppers but those hurt.... I've heard gummy bears too.
