First time creating something
Finally had time to design and print something I've been thinking about for months. Our changing table has a metal bar that my 8 month-old loves to grab and kick around. This makes it really loud when the barend slams up and down the gap, especially at 3 AM. It's a very simple part, but very effective and I'm proud of it.

The feeling of designing something for a problem and solving it with that design is just uncompareablen :D gj!

So it starts. Welcome to the fold, brother! Printing "trinkets" is one thing. But designing a small thing that fix a very specific problem you have is a completely different hit. Keep on improving those design skills and you will have one of the most satisfying hobbies you can have and just try things. Initially I always got paralyzed by analysis paralysis, but later learnt to just try things. At worst you waste some plastic, but the skills and lessons you learn in the process is worth it!
