Some people have been using 3D printers to create obsolete parts in order to keep their cars running. The same idea can apply on almost any other product out there that can be revived using parts from a 3D printer. The possibilities are truly endless. Even something as simple as a battery...
To create 3D models that you can print without3D printing supports, you should start from the initial design stage by minimizing complex structures. To avoid supports, you should ensure that the overhang angles are not extending more than 45 degrees from the vertical section. You should also con...
3D Model: The 3D Benchy is an ideal first print for your 3D printer; it offers a calibration test and is a fun model in a single print. However you can also download STL files from sites such as Thingiverse. Slicing Software: In order to print your model, you’ll need to convert it...
How to get something 3D printed Further reading Share this page What is 3D printing? 3D printing is an additive technology used to manufacture parts. It is ‘additive’ in that it doesn’t require a block of material or a mold to manufacture physical objects, it simply stacks and fuses...
Gael (the InMoov designer) recommends to calibrate the printer. To do so I downloaded a "STEP Calibration Piece (X, Y and Z axis)" from Thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:195604) The calibration object is 100mm on X and Y axis and 50mm on the Z-Axis. Measured with ...
In a nutshell, OctoPrint is a library that runs on the small Raspberry Pi computer. When you want to print something, you’ll log into a slick interface from your computer. This interface will allow you to control your printer, start and stop prints, and more. You can even monitor your...
Now that I have a robot again, I’m looking forward to trying to draw something with it! In the meantime, if you’d like to build your own,download the parts from Thingiverse! Tiny CNC Drawing Robot How to Build a Tiny CNC Drawing Robot ...
to be effective, so I thought about adding a sleeve that would hold both sides of the break together like a cast on a broken bone. I first considered using heat-shrink tubing, but then I realized I could quickly 3D print something that is designed for the exact size of the doweling. ...
2 inch PVC pipe can be used to mount filament spools above the 3D printer. I used 2x4" boards attached to existing shelving and a couple of bolts to hold the pipe. If you go to Thingiverse you can find 3D printed versions of spool holders that attach to the printer. ...
yet it is an opportunity to start with digital jewelry design. Wax models can be created from exported files, and in case of lacking detail, they can be carved by hand into something spectacular. Under one thousand dollars, Rhinoceros is an affordable package that has become the jewelry indust...
