A 3D Printing, Digital Fabrication, and Computational Design Blog
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 had such a blast doing these tutorials by John Aurtur Mercader: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJESazJYSnk I completed this tutorial in 2014, but I was reminded due to my reignited interest in Autodesk modeling software, including Maya and now 3dsMax. I ended up with a model I was pretty happy with (the jean texture needs work, but hey, … Continue reading A Throw Back to Learning Maya 2014
I am fortunate enough to have a wonderful brother just as interested (if not more so) in emerging tech, specifically with virtual reality. He already owns a Vive, but decided to order an Oculus Rift a few months back. Due to some fluke, Oculus sent him two Rift Touches by accident, one of which he … Continue reading More VR Stuff, this Time with the Rift
My boyfriend I are avid backpackers and do a lot of camping trips in the spring and summer time. We have increased our inventory of gear since we first started dating (I had most of the gear at the beginning of the relationship, now we are about even). He purchased a new sleeping bag last year … Continue reading Zipping Together Two Mummy Bags
I've always been interested in 3D printing in different materials or even possibly coating prints with paint or metal. During my time at UVA's architecture school, I printed in nylon, wood filament, and many other crazy materials. I've also tested smoothing ABS with acetone vapor (works wonderfully). However, I really wanted to try something new, … Continue reading Electroplating 3D Prints
First blog post- woohoo! I thought it would be useful to make a blog about my interests, specifically 3D printing and tech. It will definitely be nice to have everything written down in one place (you know, rather than on sticky notes floating around my desk). Some background information on me: I'm a recent graduate of … Continue reading 3D Printing or bust
