3d print ideas

[nicefish]

looking for project ideas.
if I make it i'll post the STLs/source files. i'm better at mechanical things than artsy/organic things. i've never been good at art. i feel like such an imposter when i try anything artsy.

heya, you can print this rocket ship i made with OpenSCAD

[rachel]

And if you've never heard of OpenSCAD, I'll fill you in...

OpenSCAD is a programming language FOR SHAPES



You can use it to design printable machine parts, mold making, whatever you can think of!

Here's a helpful cheatsheat with a bunch of the commonly used functions - http://www.openscad.org/cheatsheet/

thank you. i've used this before. lately i've been using onshape, which is a CAD that runs in the cloud.
it took so long to do stuff in openscad.

Can you guys print colour and if so, can you make me the Zone-tan skull as a hairclip to replace my Yoko skull hairclip?

Is it this one?


Unfortunately I don't have dual extruders, so I cannot print in multiple colours.
I could print the base in white, switch to a black filament, and print the black part on top of the white part.

[JuniperToxic]

That would be cool, I can paint the coloured part.

https://www.amazon.com/Gurren-Lagann-Yoko-Hair-Clip/dp/B002STHGJO that's the hair clip I have, the back has a barrette style clip attached to it:

[nicefish]

I can do that!
I'm going to order some hair clips because I need to design it to fit the specific clip.

Also, the face of it would be flat instead of round.

do one of these

I could really use an amplifier horn for resting my celphone so I can listen to podcasts while cleaning around the house.  Getting it 3-d printed sounds like the right approach.

this is a neat idea using gravity to sort screws, but I don't think it would work with the construction screws I have

Just turn your 3d printer into khaby lame
