Day 65 – Condiment bowl with sharpie stripe!

Day 65 – Condiment bowl with sharpie stripe! 640 480 mathgrrl

Same bowl as yesterday, but this time we colored an 8-inch length of the filament with a black Sharpie marker before it went through the machine.  Beautiful stripe, worked perfectly!…

Day 64 – Condiment bowl

Day 64 – Condiment bowl 640 480 mathgrrl

The Condiment Bowl designed by petergross3 in Thingiverse has such a beautiful shape, mixing squares and circles. We had been waiting to print it until our new translucent red filament…

Day 63 – Tetrahinge

Day 63 – Tetrahinge 640 480 mathgrrl

Trying to find a better solution for making polyhedral nets than the folding models from Day 44, today we have a hinged version of a tetrahedron.  The hinges are built…

Day 62 – Quick hex bowl

Day 62 – Quick hex bowl 640 480 mathgrrl

Couldn’t be simpler than this.  Needed a bowl, threw down Marissa‘s “wedge” shape script in Tinkercad, printed it as a shell on the Afinia. STL file: http://www.geekhaus.com/makerhome/day62_quickhexbowl.stl Tinkercad link: https://tinkercad.com/things/9rV054GfyPV-day-62-quick-hex-bowl Thingiverse…

Day 61 – Hilbert steps

Day 61 – Hilbert steps 640 480 mathgrrl

Okay, so maybe Day 60‘s model was maybe based on a Hilbert curve, not a Peano curve. So, we may as well make another model out of it. This one also…

Day 60 – Peano curve

Day 60 – Peano curve 640 480 mathgrrl

Today we have a space-filling Peano curve with a dish-like indentation just because it looks cooler that way. More dish-y and more space-filling-y than the H-Tree from Day 57! The…

Day 59 – Chainmail tests

Day 59 – Chainmail tests 640 480 mathgrrl

A sister-in-law of mine makes really intricate chainmail jewelry by actually bending tiny loops of metal. It’s beautiful. For a present I printed her three samples of 3D-printed chainmail patterns.…

Day 58 – Cos Plate

Day 58 – Cos Plate 640 480 mathgrrl

I need a small cookie plate for a reception.  And maybe PLA isn’t FDA-approved but frankly I think most people would probably eat a cookie that was sitting on the…

Day 57 – H-Tree dish

Day 57 – H-Tree dish 640 480 mathgrrl

Here is a small dish whose pattern comes from a level 5 H-Tree, which is a fractal space-filling curve. It is designed so that a Replicator 2 on “low” will…

Day 56 – Hairdo hardware #1

Day 56 – Hairdo hardware #1 640 480 mathgrrl

I have a lot of hair and almost nothing is strong enough hold it up reliably. So today we begin a quest to 3D print something that can do the…
