3D Printing
Exploits in 3D printing
3D Basics
3D printing is one of the oddly satisfying things a person can do. I love being able to to create a 3D structure that did not exist before, but does after you print it. You, the creator, can either use your design skills to create something new or select from the the thousands of pre designed files, or a little bit of both :) I personally love doing it all.
Here is my view of the 3D printing process. First, you have an idea of something you want to have. It could be as small as a cord anchor or as large as a hydroponic system; whatever you can imagine. when you have your idea, the first thing is to search the internet to see if someone has already created the file(s) you need to create your idea. The amazing thing about 3D printing and creators is people almost always give away designs to others for nothing. Amazing! At this point you can either use you found files or create your own.

Leaf Coaster Set I found this print on the Purse website and immediately feel in love with the design. I downloaded it and started printing right away. It works so well with the Prusament Pistachio. Even though it's small, it takes a while to print; almost a full 24 hours. Still, love the [...]
Hepta Glyph
Hepta Signal The movie Arrival might be in the top 10 of of my favorite Sci-Fi movies. Good balance of story and 'new' ideas. I became a fan of the Alien (Hepta) glyph language and thought it was a novel concept. I wanted to look up how many word/phrases there was and try to [...]
