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.

 

[USAFRet]

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?

 

[USAFRet]

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...😉

Cremation urn for my mother in law.
(yes, the top fits better than what is seen here)

One of the young guys at work is seriously into Mini Coopers. He had one just like mine.

Recently, bought an old school (90ish) Cooper.

These, for him:

Interlocking cones

I didn't even realize they're not a single piece! Well done.

 

[USAFRet]

New landing gear for Cyclops II.

The angles are about 0.5 degrees off from 'perfectly aligned', so as to be an interference fit.
I can add velcro straps if needed,

 

[USAFRet]

Modifying the above blue landing gear for more height.
Needed for clearance of the bomb rack and whatever may be attached.

However, this is too heavy. It flies, but very sluggish.

So, these:

1/3 the weight.
