Everything I Make With My Makerbot
In December 2010 I bought and built a Makerbot Thing-O-Matic 3D printer. Now two years later I have a Replicator 2.
This blog is an on-going diary of everything I make with this wonderful machine; a machine sent from the future.
-
A #makerbot printed moment from Daft Punk’s Get Lucky - captured at 2:33.
Created from analysing waveform data. -
Loving the HE_Mesh library for Processing. Especially as you can make STL files for the #makerbot
-
More iterations of creating models of songs. I really like this one but the problem is it won’t print as there are problem areas on in the print, due to the nature of how it’s been created.
-
#makerbot printed form created from mp3 data. Work in progress.
-
Originally a simple cylinder, this form has been pushed and pulled using waveform data from an mp3. Now let’s see if it prints.
-
Whilst this form is quite cool, in that it’s generated from song data, it would take a ridiculous amount of time to slice, then print. Instead I need to take a different approach and push and pull a single form rather than composite many forms as this one is currently.
-
Work in progress using @mariuswatz’s model builder library to create 3D models of song data
-
I find this is one of the key components for better prints on the #makerbot A quick wipe of the build platform with the nail polish remover helps prints stick to the platform much better.
-
Downloaded from Thingiverse and then printed this rather fab iPhone 5 adapter for the GorillaPod. Worked perfectly.
Yes I know it’s a glif rip off. I didn’t design it, I downloaded it from Thingiverse after someone else made it.
-
The #makerbot is really handy for printing out things for my projects that I used to pay for, like control knobs!
