Failed 3D Prints
Thought I would post some of my failures in 3D printing. I’ve been printing some nice small helmets and over the past 3 weeks, I’ve tried to add more to my collection – but they just didn’t turn out as I would like. This 3D printing both science and art. […]
Terminator T-800 3D print
Had some fun and quite impressed with the level of detail my Monoprice Mini V3 3D printer did with this Terminator T-800 Skull. First model failed – one of the jaw supports broke so I tried another. Click on the pictures for a larger view. Gilberto
3D print – Power bank clip 1-24-19 – very satisfying
This is why I have this printer – Rapid prototyping. Now I can use a CAD program and begin building my own designs for my needs. My first attempt was to create a solution for a very primitive method of carrying around some basic necessities. I have a power hungry […]
Real world 3D printing 1-17-19
I’ve been posting a lot of what I’ve been 3D printing and many of you have been nice and liked my posts. But I know deep down inside some of you are thinking… “Yeah – that’s a great toy…but how would I use it?” Well, watch the short video below. […]
3D GoPro Hero Session Print 1-14-19
PRACTICAL 1-14-19 So this has been my most ambitious 3D print yet. I wanted a protective case for my GoPro Hero (small cube action camera) that would protect the lens more since I was going to mount this on some of my RC cars. I’ve been careless before and I […]
3D print Sony Lens cap and StarGate 1-7-19
PRACTICAL AND FUN 1-1-19 and 1-7-19 So I’m almost caught up on the items I’ve been printing last year. My daughter had lost her rear lens cap for her Sony long lens. If you leave it un-capped like that, you get dust on the lens. I could’ve bought one on […]
3D prints – Celtic Ring and Serenity Ship 12-31-18
FUN 12-31-18 Moving along in my 3D print journey. I printed two more items prior to the year ending in 2018. A Celtic ring (which I had to resize) and the Serenity Space ship from my beloved show. I was impressed with the amount of detail I was able to […]
Aliens Hick’s Action Figure Helmet – 3D print
12/26/18 FUN So many of you know that I collect action figures. NOT DOLLS! Some of my favorite are from ALIENS movie (made reference to them here). I have them on my my desk. One thing I’ve always wanted for authenticity’s sake, is a helmet for Private Hicks (he’s in […]
