3D Designs

I was so impressed at Lunch with the Librarians that you had looked up designs to print out in June when the Cube 2 3D printer arrives.

As I said then, please find the design you would like to print and send me a link to the page it is on. (Using the comments section below.) Please do not choose a design that costs money; we'll pay for the filament to print your object, but we won't pay for a design.

Here is a 2.5 minute video showing how the printer works.

Here are sites with ready-made models.



IMPORTANT! 5.5 X 5.5 X 5.5 INCHES IS THE LARGEST SIZE YOU CAN PRINT

Here are free modeling programs (graphics software in which you can create three dimensional drawings called models) that let you design your own objects. You may want to learn about mesh or solid models.




Or use this: Design Something is a cloud based design program for use with your Chromebook. 
 - click on Help for a 5 minute tutorial that should get you up and running . . .

Here are some Apps that might help you design on your Ipod, tablet, phone . . .

Cubify - from the makers of the 3D printer we'll be using. 
Instructables - 
Tinkerplay - here's an article about it (I tried it - you choose parts and assemble a character - enhance 
it's size and texture. Each piece will print separately, and the whole snaps together.)
You can end up with something that looks like this:
