Revised: The smaller version or how the design evolves

It’s been a while since I built a door stamp design for the work that should just say to people: Sorry, I’m busy right now. Please come back later. After we’ve been using these door ramps for a while, most of them are broken now. That wasn’t really the design itself, but the fact that the traffic lights were directed downwards. This brings with it a serious problem: If you push the handle down, the door jam is pushed through its rigid ...

Tablet Holder for DJI Mavic Air from the 3d Printer

Recently it was my birthday and I got myself a DJI Mavic Air - that’s a semi-professional camera drone. Such drones are typically controlled from the perspective of the drone with the support of live views and of course a eye-side view of the pilot himself. DJI Mavic Air Fly More Combo A smartphone display is often used for this purpose. But also big smartphones make the handling as well as the recognition of the details very ...

GoPro Fusion 360° shoulder mount

My 360° camera (a GoPro Fusion) can take very interesting pictures, but it has one problem: Due to its size, it can’t be easily attached with a normal action cam stand (I also ride e.g. inline skates without a helmet). So what to do? I have started my Hash Animation:Master and my 3d printer and some test prints and various attempts later, I have created a first, working shoulder mount for my VR cam recordings. I’m not completely satisfied ...

This masterpiece (it tasted at least as good as it looked) of course also wanted to be additionally decorated and for this I picked out some pictures, vectorized the silhouettes and threw on the 3d-printer.

Light holder for Inline skating at night (Revised)

My first light holder design for skating at night already was in use for about 2 seasons and because of the flexible PLA, some smaller accidents and just the age of it, it was a little broken at the end. Because of that I created a revised version of it in A:M, brought it over to Makerware and printed a new one out – this time with normal PLA. Till now it works perfectly. These are the images starting with the design till the final products ...

Minion-Mariage... or: What you should put on a cake (Part 2)

After some quite difficult worksteps it really happend: I have printed the Minions fast enough. It really was not easy but it worked out. As you can see on the images I had to glue parts together because just putting it on the build plate and printing it out wasn't possible. So I had to cut those Minions in parts (oh my God...! ;)) and put them together afterwards. By the way: If you are searching for a good glue for 3d printed parts, I would ...
