A 3D Printing, Digital Fabrication, and Computational Design Blog
I tried something a little different recently after seeing this video from Prusa Printers: https://blog.prusaprinters.org/the-beginners-guide-to-mold-making-and-casting_31561/ I had seen examples of people creating really cool resin/soap/candle casts from silicone molds created from a 3D printed object and thought it looked really fun. It could be used to make gifts or little trinkets. Also, why not try … Continue reading Silicone Molding with 3D Prints
As we all know, quarantine has been tough and everyone has been cooped up in their homes. A ton of people have tried all different types of hobbies (one of my best friends is making bread and sewing her own dresses!), so I decided to rediscover one of my own. When I was little, my … Continue reading Quarantine Cross Stitching
It's been a while since I last posted, it's been a busy year! I thought I would come back and share a project I completed last spring/summer. My friends (a couple) decided to start a garden last spring in their new apartment together. As a housewarming gift, I thought I would make little vegetable labels. … Continue reading 3D-Printed Veggie Garden Labels
First off, I want to give a shout out to Quintox303 on Thingiverse for their design. I had a work trip during the time I made this costume and didn't have time to do the 3D model design of the dragon scales. Here are the scales I used: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2779147 I decided I wanted to design … Continue reading Dragon Costume on the 3D Printer
To start with: Secondly, this is what happens when you leave a print running and go to work: So maybe that doesn't happen all the time, but I sure did waste a lot of wood filament. I was in the process of printing a wall mount for my Rift and touch controllers. I originally downloaded … Continue reading Printing a Mount for the Oculus Rift
I've always wanted test wood filament on my personal 3D printer; I had a chance in college to use it on the machines in fab shop and loved how it looked and felt. Most wood filaments are primarily PLA with some wood mixed in and the filament I decided to purchase was no exception. I … Continue reading Experimenting with Wood Filament
Short post- but I wanted to show some of my recent prints. Check out this D&D dice roller I printed. It turned out beautifully (gray PLA, set at 20% infill): Here is an actual useful print, mounts for my brother's router: In use:
As many of you know from my previous post, I left off discussing the misalignment of my Pinda Probe over the print bed. I wasn't sure how big of an issue it was going to be, until I tried calibrating the XYZ axis. The nozzle began hitting the bed after the 3rd pinda position and … Continue reading Documenting my Failures (and ultimate Success) with the Prusa Printer
Hi all! I apologize for the delayed post, for as you know, I have been quite busy with my new Prusa printer. It has been a bit of a rocky road to start, but I'm still really excited for what this printer has in store for me and all the great things I'll print in … Continue reading Regarding my Prusa i3 MK2S
Short post- but I purchased my very first personal 3D printer! A Prusa i3 MK2S- I will go into details in a longer post soon, but it arrived a few days ago and I'm ready to begin setting it up. Wish me luck!
