Didn't work out that well..the piston was supposed to drive the wheel, but keeps getting stuck., will try again one day.
My QIDI X-Plus 3D printer has been churning out lots of adapters recently for my astro gear. The setup here is a Canon FD 50mm f1.4 lens attached to the ASI294 MC camera. I 3D printed and painted a dew/light shield as well as mounting bracket complete with red dot finder holder. With all the light pollution where I live, the setup is difficult to use without light pollution filters. So when possible, I will head out of the city to darker skies.

Filament comes in many different types: chalky, woody, plastic, solid color, transclucent, and even food!
The inlayed logo was made by an extruded cut down 0.8mm and then filling the cut back as a separate body that becomes white. I experimented with filling it back at a draft angle of 26 degrees to leave only the outline for a single color print.
Here are some objects I've printed in 3D using Shapeways.com! The boxes were designed in Google Sketchup, and the ornament was modeled in TopMod.
These pictures represent 3 different materials. The ornament is made using selective laser sintering, which yields a very strong plastic with a rough surface.
The metal box is printed in stainless steel. The process involves a few steps. First, the object is printed layer by layer with stainless steel mixed with a binder. Then it is fired, evaporating the binder, and melting the stainless steel together. It makes a porous stainless steel matrix. Next, they infuse the entire object in bronze, making a solid object, ready for polishing. The resulting object is nice and heavy, but due to the process, it came out just a tiny bit smaller than I expected.
The white plastic box uses FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling). Basically a thin stream of plastic is melted and zig-zagged layer by layer to build up the surface. It's dimensionally accurate, but not as strong as the other methods shown.

I intentionally will be using a pop color (white in this test run) to not obfuscate what was original and what's filling in the full picture - You know, like how museums fill in the missing bones of dinosaur skeletons.
Failed 3D prints is something that many 3D printer operators have experienced. The most critical moment during a 3D print usually is the first layer. The model has to firmly stick to the build-platform in order for the 3D model print correctly. The blob you can see here is a #3DBenchy 3D-printed on an FFF 3D printer using standard settings: 0.2 mm/layer and 2 perimeters. The build-plate was not calibrated correctly being too far away from the printhead. The first layer detached from the plate surface resulting in a blob of molten plastic that followed the printhead’s movement. #3dbenchy #3dprinting #3dprint #3dprinter #fail #blob See video: ift.tt/1YYpU5B Learn more about 3D printing at 3DBenchy.com
