Recently I have been talking a bunch with the teacher at my school who is in charge of the 3D printer. And as I had a formal event coming up, I decided to print something real simple... A pair of cuff links. They turned out looking really good and I thought they were amazing, until I made one mistake. The shirt i had didn't have cuffs for cufflinks. Oops The first step was to simply design the cufflinks. That was very simple as cufflinks aren't very complex.
Next was the fun part, to put it into the 3D printer. Using the makerbot software and some help from my teacher, we got it onto the 3D printer. We started it up and let it run. By the time I got back to the printer, they were done and looked amazing. Now all I have left to do is wait for another formal event and get a shirt with cuffs.

AuthorMy name is Nathan and I enjoy building and creating things, weather it be out of wood, paper, or even on the computer. I want to start recording all of the fun things so this is where I am. Why Does this existI have recently started to play with Blender. A 3D modelling and design software. I have also built several costumes and helmets which I will be posting future ones up here. This site is mostly about that and other projects I might have.
If you're interested in this stuff...So I use a program called blender which is a great opensource modelling program. This allows you to model, and also animate and ever program games. Its a great program to use as there are endless possibilities.
http://www.blender.org Another useful site is for the helmets and such that I make. This is from a papercraft design program called Pepakura. It allows you to print out designs to build whatever you want. There are tons of tutorials online to see how to use it. http://www.tamasoft.co.jp/pepakura-en/ Archives
