This design looked pretty straightforward until I started it, managed eventually, after many attempts!
How I did it...
created a sphere
squared it off on 4 sides
applied 4 45 degree chamfers
hollowed it out
added the hex holes
made a copy
created the bar
connected the bar to each of the ends.
"Stibnite"
Fun with 3D printing! Here's a stick puzzle made up of 30 identical sticks - each piece represents an edge of a dodecahedron which have been rotated by a constant angle. George Hart wrote a great paper about how to design these models: archive.bridgesmathart.org/2011/bridges2011-357.pdf
Finally finished this guy, now for cutting into pieces for printing and then onto molding and casting!

My latest design..
The name comes from the device's earliest application in mechanical watches made in Geneva, which began in the 17th century.

3D printing offers engineers various ways to construct hardware that simply could not be built in any other manner – such as this single-piece casing to house an optical instrument for Earth observations.
In this case, the desired shape was initially 3D printed in wax. The wax model was then dipped into a ceramic slurry to create a hard shell.
The wax was then melted away and molten aluminium poured in the hollow ceramic mould to produce the final part.
This prototype casing demonstrates another potential advantage of using 3D printing to create very complex space parts in a single piece.
Extremely complicated shapes can be manufactured without the need for joins or welds, using less raw material and energy than traditional manufacturing, and with a reduced number of steps.
ESA’s Product Assurance & Safety Department is looking at how 3D printing can be applied to space missions, including the development of common industrial standards for manufacturing and testing of products.

3D designing has taken up lots of my time this winter, a real obsession for sure. As the weather improves I will definetely be outside more with my camera and get off this addiction for the summer!!
Phineas and Ferb along with Perry the platypus and Agent P! Created these for the next @brickjournal article.
Recently I had the opportunity to use some 3D printers, and I decided to use them to make the Nuva Cube. The cube is made of PLS, has a length/width/height of 2 inches, and is composed of four 1 7/8" x 1/8" x 2" and two 2" x 1/8" x 2" faces each glued onto one of the sides of a 1 3/4" cube (rather, that's the dimensions of the computer model… as you can tell, the technology is still pretty finicky, and the measurements don't always come out right). I designed it in Tinkercad and glued all the pieces save one together, but the actual printing was done by someone who actually knew what he was doing. :P (The piece I didn't glue was the one on the bottom of Lewa's face since I wasn't there when it finished printing and it was the last piece not yet glued on.) I also have to give credit to fearmaker782 of deviantArt as I frequently referred back to his own System Nuva Cube during the design process since each face is set up on a clear 8 x 8 grid.

So interesting to see how different they are unpainted and after a bit of care!
Two classic-version 3D-printed Makies, they underwent an #orchidmakeover to transform into their new selves!
My client gave me full reign over their features, such a nice thing to have such trust put in me as a customizer.
Didn't work out that well..the piston was supposed to drive the wheel, but keeps getting stuck., will try again one day.
