Clever is coming along! I have a LOT of priming and sanding in my future.

Prototype by Dominic Ullrich, Stuttgart State Academy of Arts and Design.

Here is the final design of the MakerBot Cupcake CNC. It's open source and you can check it out at www.thingiverse.com/thing:457/

 

Inside the bot is one of Chris K. Palmer's designs which you can find at www.thingiverse.com/thing:454

 

We shipped off the first 20 kits last week and this is the 21st kit. We coated it with 3 coats of urethane and it is an awesome machine.

Custom Replicator case increases build height by 100mm.

There's still some PVA goop inside that hasn't dissolved, however the gears work!

 

Printed all at once as one piece using a MakerBot Thing-o-Matic with dual mk7 extruders using PVA for support and PLA for the model at 0.3 layer height, both extruded at 210c and HBP set to 40c on blue painters tape.

This array of 3D printers makes things that come in from the cloud

This is the machine that draws the PLA filament into 1.75mm diameter thread would onto spools. The horizontal bath on the right is at 125°C and allows the filament to polymerize slowly before air cooling on the rollers in the center. Photo essay of the manufacturing flow below...

Here's a video of the Z-rider doing it's thing.

CCCKC General Meeting 3.11.2011

the entrance to the new manufacturing facility which recently came online.

  

I encouraged them to include a jar of finely moldable clay with each of their new 3D scanners, with no explanation needed. People might think more about creation and less about copying with their "Replicator".

 

More generally, I think we need a new framework for 3D content creation, as it has held back so many 3D dreams, from VRML in the 90s to 3D printing today. If you want to create a 3D model of a teacup, it’s just way too difficult for most people using geometric primitives of addition and subtraction, manipulated and rotated with 2D tools separated in space (a screen and touchpad or mouse).

 

My first thought was that perhaps we could reconceptualize the digital process: instead of manipulating polygons, what if we had digital clay — malleable and asymmetric and organic — that snapped to polygons and various axes of symmetry after the fact? The UI would naturally support multitouch screens where we see the clay under our fingers and need not project and rotate 3D objects in our minds.

 

And with a 3D scanner, MakerBot could take a step in that direction by providing rudimentary post-processing of scanned clay. With 3D printing, the objects don’t have to be symmetric. Complexity comes for free in a 3D print. Objects may be a bit more artistic and organic with asymmetries. So the post-processing could include a slider for smoothing… and perhaps a way to recognize Platonic forms like a circular or elliptical curve, offering various snap-to-grid options if wanted.

Makerbot issued a user group challenge

 

18 makerbots, 6 mendels, 1 powder printer, 3 cnc cutters (big little and tiny), a laser and a few tables full of clonedel parts. The robots are winning.
