Bill of Materials[edit] Printed Parts[edit] Print these STL files on any flavor of RepRap. Construction[edit] Note to Makers[edit] If you have made a RepRap before this will be easy -- if you are not familiar with RepRaps or Deltabots like the Rostock - more detailed build instructions are available at the MOST Prusa RepRap build page and the Delta Build Overview:MOST.
Initial Prep[edit] Single pillar build[edit] 3X[edit] How to prepare your 3D files? If you’re willing to 3D print something, the very first thing you need is a 3D file.
But not all 3D files are doing the trick when it comes to 3D printing. The prime file format for 3D printing is STL. If you don’t have one however, it’s not the end of the world, we accept up to 25 different file formats. You can find the list here. The goal of this post is to give you the best advices to let you prepare your 3D file for a print. Before Nora live webinar later on today on 3DTi, we will review here the best practices to prepare your file for 3D printing. Polygons. Size and solidity. Once it’s done, it’s really usefull to enable the solidity check.
Normals. In most 3D modelling applications, surfaces are oriented to have a “heads” side and a “tails” side. We need volumes. A design may contain surfaces with borders, that do not enclose a volume. All you need to do is to click on repair when your design has been uploaded. Hollow your models. Fabricación personal. 3D printing at a makerspace for kids. Getting an early start on digital fabrication and more On Wednesday, I stopped by Maker Kids here in Toronto to give a short talk about 3D printing, and to check out the space.
Started in 2010, Maker Kids is a small makerspace packed full of work tables and tools. Kids learn a variety of skills including electronics, programming, sewing, woodworking, and more. For the summer camp program, participants work on a series of hands-on projects such as the awesomely-named Robot Knife Fight: Individuals or teams build robot rovers. What has me really jealous though, is that Maker Kids is now equipped with a MakerBot Replicator! The printer only arrived last week, and already the kids are downloading models from Thingiverse… …and designing their own 3D creations in Minecraft: (exported to STL via Printcraft) Don’t you wish you had a space like this when you were young?
