Day 26 – Afinia tool holder 640 480 mathgrrl

The Afinia H-Series 3D printer comes with a very nice set of tools, some of which are very sharp and difficult to store safely. Today we used Tinkercad to design…

Day 21: Tri-Koch box

Day 21: Tri-Koch box 640 480 mathgrrl

Today I wanted to test out the “shell” setting on the Afinia, so we printed the bottom half of the “trikoch” file from hakalan’s Scripted Vases collection on Thingiverse.  It is…

Day 20 – Lattice box

Day 20 – Lattice box 640 480 mathgrrl

Okay, because of yesterday we now have a hundred thin rings to keep track of, so today we built BozarthPrime’s Dice Box, with the top and the lip for the top…
