3D printing event at makerspace, last Thursday was fun and inspiring. This is a weekly event, you can always join Rick Anderson\u00a0at\u00a035 Berrue Circle Piscataway Township<\/a>, Thursdays 8 pm.<\/p>\n

The size of the printer is 6 in. x 8 in. x 6 in. so largest module of your design should not exceed these dimensions. Printer uses\u00a0ABS<\/a>,\u00a0PVA<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0PLA<\/a>. These filaments are available in limited colors and our makerspace is not carrying them all but you can take a look to all availbel colors from makerbot\u00a0store<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Basically the printer reads from a software called\u00a0MakerWare\u00a0<\/a>allowing to read from an\u00a0.stl<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0.obj<\/a>\u00a0file. You should prepare your model in of these formats.\u00a0Autodesk123D<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Tinkercad<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0seem to be the most commonly used software for this purpose but as a designer I would also suggest using\u00a0Rhinoceros<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0ZBrush<\/a>. Rhinoceros has already started a\u00a0RhinoFabLab<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One of the most popular and free 3D drawing software is\u00a0SketchUp<\/a>, actually it doesn’t really save or export .stl but\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0is a tutorial to convert from prepared by makerbot.<\/p>\n

For inspiration and watching some modalities and limits you may spend some time on\u00a0THINGIVERSE<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
