3D Printer projects in the Shack of ZS1I (Part 1)

I am no expert  when it comes to create and draw 3D Printer objects.  Firstly not one om my computers are the latest and greatest around. I still use Windows 7 and Linux Mint on old slow machines with the bare minimum peripherals.   Thankfully there are ways the overcome some of the hurdles.   I use Thingiverse quite regularly to obtain STL files and convert them to GCode files with either IdeaMaker or Cura slicing software.  I decided to post some photos of my 3d printing objects here as it might be of assistance to other radio amateurs.

I use the Biqu B1 3D Printer.  For the price this is really a little gem of a printer.   As a beginner printer it is my opinion that this printer is pure value for money.
