Day 72 – Carabiner

Day 72 – Carabiner 640 480 mathgrrl

In the interest of attaching things to other things, today we printed briscoe28’s s-caribiner from Thingiverse. It’s interesting how the flexible bit works; this is a very nice design, which I guess…

Day 70 – Snowflakes, part 1

Day 70 – Snowflakes, part 1 640 480 mathgrrl

Lots of tiny snowflakes for some kind of winter/holiday use.  The snowflake designs are from a vector-graphics snowflake patterns file on Zezu. In future days we will make these larger…

Day 69 – CGR Pontoon boat

Day 69 – CGR Pontoon boat 640 480 mathgrrl

Today our 8-year-old son designed this boat in Tinkercad for an upcoming LEGO competition.  The picture shows the 50% scale model we printed today so full-size minifigs don’t fit, but…

Day 68 – Glow sphere #1

Day 68 – Glow sphere #1 640 480 mathgrrl

I love the look of gavi’s Spherical lattice on Thingiverse, but don’t have a resin printer to get the beautiful print that they do.  However, their low-res “visualization only” file…

MakerHome Day 67 – The knot 8_19

MakerHome Day 67 – The knot 8_19 640 480 mathgrrl

The real reason for printing the knot 8_18 yesterday was to compare it to a print of 8_19, the first non-alternating knot in the standard knot table. STL file: http://www.geekhaus.com/makerhome/day67_knot819.stl Tinkercad…

Day 66 – The knot 8_18

Day 66 – The knot 8_18 640 480 mathgrrl

Our initial reason forgetting a 3D printer was to print mathematical models of knots, so today we go back to our roots and print a model of the knot 8_18…

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…
