Discussion 3D Prints

[USAFRet]

Yes, the rotors turn. But I expect them to last about 3 minutes in the hands of a 2 year old.

I don’t do any 3d printing myself, (I barely know anything about it) but I find it interesting looking at what people can create with it.

If it can be visualized, it can probably be made.

Loving the prints dude! I haven't got into it yet, but my cousin has, and he's printing all manor of cool stuff.

I'm pretty sure he's done a slightly scaled down Storm Trooper mask.

Also, the time lapse are very cool. Good job.

Cool. I just love watching time lapses of 3d printing. I've loved fighter jets ever since I saw the original top gun a few years ago.

Its going on the wall in our Sqdn party room.

SWMBO looks over, and asks:
"What are you making now?"

'Bombs'

I could hear the eyeroll....

Supposedly, if dropped from a sufficient height, these whistle. Loudly.
We shall see.

22 hour print in progress:

In the software

In real life
If the print had gone uninterrupted, 22 hours.

Old news by now, but i have to mention how much i love any and every mention of an F-111.

Do the bombs whistle afterall?

Do the bombs whistle afterall?

I've not yet tested them.
Probably this weekend.

And certain aspects of the F-111 was an absolute pig to work with.

 

[35below0]

The F-111 was never loved, and you know better than i why that was. I have a soft spot for it though.
Maybe it was too much, too big, too soon? It did collect a lot of impractical, big ideas into a single package.

I like Heineken.
I dislike the current tall skinny cans.

So, this....

And here I was wondering what practical applications a 3d printer might have.
I bow to you gracefully.

I've made a LOT of 'useful' things.

Multiple versions/styles of landing gear for my little quadrotor.
Planter for small succulents
Semi-squishy (TPU) pads for a cellphone holder in the car
Can openers. Specifically, cat food cans, for those people who might need some extra leverage
Desk edge cable organizers

And of course, a LOT of totally useless junk...
