Collaborative Crafting: 3D Modeling, Printing, and Crocheting

3D Modeling (Levi), 3D Printing (Ryan), Crocheting (Bronwyn) This past week, myself, Ryan, and Bronwyn all came together to collaborate and make something using our individual resident expertises. Because mine and Ryan’s were so different from Bronwyn’s, we had to get creative when deciding what to do. After some discussion, we decided that I wouldContinue reading “Collaborative Crafting: 3D Modeling, Printing, and Crocheting”

Once I got a grip on what I was doing, I began teaching other students how to use the machine and using my skills to assist with others’Continue reading “Experiences while CNC Routing”

SketchUp File to STL to Print

The first thing you want to do is get your desired design. Bring your design into a layout that is in millimeters. In this case I will be printing a pavilion I designed in Sketchup. Once you have your desired print, the next step is to simplify the model. If your model’s lines are tooContinue reading “SketchUp File to STL to Print”

Comparative Essay

William Osman is someone that I really admire, not only for his 3D printing capabilities, but also for his ability to rapidly prototype. A few examples of his work are the “Automatic Rain Goggles”, “Sushi Chopsticks”, and even his “Anti-Soggy Cereal Spoon”. Even though these creations are not strictly 3D printing, they show Osman’s skillsContinue reading “Comparative Essay”

Three Dimensional Printing

While 3d printing there are multiple resources that can come to use while experimenting. One of these resources is a website called “Thingiverse” and its a website that consists of people who love to create and post their creations to free use of other printers. https://www.thingiverse.com One way I like to use this website isContinue reading “Three Dimensional Printing”
