Learning 3D sculpting / modelling so I can make my own things in the 3D printer rather than just downloading from Thingiverse.

oh yeah and c hackerspace s i still haven't found the guy who owns the mendel so i took a few nights seeing what shape the makerbot was in

turns out it's the very model of a 1st gen makerbot and its extruder is fundamentally hosed :toot:

looks like i can keep the motor and driver, even though it's a lovely dc/pwm mess thanks makerbot industries, but i have to fabricate/buy a new jamming-the-filament-against-the-drive-cog assembly before anything's gonna work

http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/up-plus-2-3d-printer-a25lt meanwhile i was out buying tiny parts & they had one of these set up in the shop. sure as gently caress not in a position to drop that kind money on a toy that makes lovely toys but they had that one running and calibrated to heck and back and in the middle of a big display of really gorgeous slick & flawless prints and i really wanted it

I'm really digging my UP! Mini, prints are a great quality (down to .20mm) - only thing that might put you off is its a very 'closed' system-in-a-box, even down to the controlling sowtware, not 'hacker friendly' at all as far as I can see.

All my posts of Things ITT are off the UP!Mini.

<edit> I'm saving for an Ultimaker2, I want that super-fine LOD that 20microns (0.02mm) brings :o: This guy oses high-detail UM2 prints as lost-wax for jewellery making and does some impressive poo poo:

3D printed ABS plastic; .20mm print resolution leaves 'steps' on slopes, 3 mins in the acetone vapour smooths them out and leaves the piece looking like an injection mold.

also why did you use a thick as gently caress steel plate

lol I sent this down to pops and asked if he could knock it up out of scraps in his workshop, he passed it on to a friend who works in the heavy plant shop at the big chemical plant nearby, hence over-engineered to gently caress :o:



I'd have been happy with 2mm plate, but at least this one doesn't heat up much at all through the feet while standing on the glass+hotplate.

Product recommendation: I'm needing to cut holes in some light acrylic for a project, didn't want to spend big on a Dremel - This little fellow was like a third of the cost of the big brand and has suited my needs to an excellent degree. If you need an occasional cut or polish in a hard-to-reach cranny I suggest buying.

the sad part about rc cars is that even though you can hit 40-50mph there's no point because you can't actually do that anywhere for an extended strech before you lose site and orientation of the car. at least with planes you can setup a flight path that'll buzz past you at 80-90+ mph

is POV rc car racing a thing like they do with planes / drones? that seems like it'd be fun.
