Day 32 – Icosahedron jawbreaker trap

Day 32 – Icosahedron jawbreaker trap 640 480 mathgrrl

The problem with Day 29’s Icosahedron Failure Bowl wasn’t with the model, it was with the machine. Turned out that the Replicator 2 needed a new xyz motor wire harness.…

Day 30 – Engage lightswitch

Day 30 – Engage lightswitch 640 480 mathgrrl

I miss ST:TNG.  So today we made a little Picard bling for our downstairs bathroom lightswitch based on zthralls’ Rounded Lightswitch Cover on Thingiverse: STL file: http://www.geekhaus.com/makerhome/day30_lightsengage.stl Tinkercad link: https://tinkercad.com/things/lucqw93XA5v-day-30-lights-engage Thingiverse…

Day 29 – Icosahedron failure bowl

Day 29 – Icosahedron failure bowl 640 480 mathgrrl

This year’s prize at the SUMS Conference is a lot of jawbreakers trapped inside a 3D-printed icosahedron (symbol for the Mathematical Association of America).  Yes I am working late at night…

Day 28 – Gear box

Day 28 – Gear box 640 480 mathgrrl

Tonight I’m tired.  I’m making a box.  The box is JinxTheRabbit’s Box and Lid from Thingiverse and I cut a hole in the top with Will and Durgan‘s gear shape script…

Day 27 – Duck & Block resolution testers

Day 27 – Duck & Block resolution testers 640 480 mathgrrl

With the 3-SPACE class looming closer and closer, my “at home” and “at work” are pretty mixed up. So again I’m printing at home for work. This time we have…

Day 26 – Afinia tool holder

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 25 – Dominos

Day 25 – Dominos 640 480 mathgrrl

My son has been watching a lot of domino–toppling videos. Turns out dominos are kind of expensive – but pretty much the easiest thing ever to model in Tinkercad.  We…

Day 24 – Afinia fan grate

Day 24 – Afinia fan grate 640 480 mathgrrl

The Afinia H-Series is wonderful but I wish there was a cover for its exposed fan.  It doesn’t hurt to touch it but when small kids are around it is…

Day 23 – Menger coasters

Day 23 – Menger coasters 640 480 mathgrrl

It’s hard to 3D-print a Level 3 Menger sponge.  But it isn’t hard to print a slice of one, and it makes for a decent coaster. STL file: http://www.geekhaus.com/makerhome/day23_mengercoaster.stl Tinkercad link: https://tinkercad.com/things/kETD0Hz44gY-day-23-menger-coaster…
