amosdudley.com is a personal blog at amosdudley.com about hardware and design. Since 2016, 17 different Hacker News readers have linked it 21 times, most often “I made my own clear plastic tooth aligners and they worked”. No feed was found, so read it on the site itself.
Too few sampled comments (9) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link amosdudley.com's weblog, which covers hands-on 3D printing and physical projects: a printed dog nose guard, Blender-based 3D part packing, 3D-printed braces, and a stereolithography camera.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 9 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

HN discussionVideo editing, 3D part packing -- anything other off-label uses for Blender? http://amosdudley.com/weblog/Stochastic-Part-Packing | https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15187108 > We used Blender’s physics engine to pour parts into a virtual volume, then exploited its collision-avoidance behavior to re-sort them into a tight 3D packing optimized for overlapping concavity.
