This is my CAD model for the part I had made by Shapeways. It might have taken an hour to create this model, probably less (of course, it's a pretty simple part)
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.

Filament comes in many different types: chalky, woody, plastic, solid color, transclucent, and even food!
Rebuilding a family heirloom w/ 3D Printing - Tuning Peg half is complete
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
