Hey guys, I finally had some time to work on this project.
I am by no means a 3D expert but wanted to share what little I may know with the community and see what you guys can come up with. I will be updating this periodically so keep checking back. Thanks for viewing. The first topic will be about the 3D software Google Sketchup and where to find it. Lesson 0 Last edited by phantro; 06-28-2014 at 02:43 PM.. |

Do you have a printer?
I'd be interested to see some finished Joe-related demo designs and the 3D printed product too. |

Great idea! I'll be getting mine in Feb '15 from a KS. I'm going to start off by making crates, sand bags and other small dio accessories. Hopefully everyone on here that gets one will be able to share files with one another. I'm excited.

Hey my pleasure guys!
I know a lot of us have an interest in applying 3D printing to our customizing so I decided to share what little I know. Maybe if we all band together we can learn as a group and share files or at least tricks we learn as we tackle project. I currently do not own a printer but I believe I supported the same kickstarter Hahoo3 did. The printer is called "The Micro" and it is due to arrive Februrary if there are no setbacks. Even if you do not have a printer there are a few options to still get your stuff made. I will discuss that in further tutorials. For the time being I want to finish the 3D software side of things and I believe sketchup is the easiest most user friendly software to date. and I will spend some considerable time on the basics of that before we go to the printing side of things. I sincerely hope this helps the artists that are interested I would like to add this if possible to the Tutorials library? I do not want to just edit it in myself because I do not know if there is a system or order for it. I will ask around. |

Another interesting aspect would be looking at how to automatically generate data from existing objects, e.g. using structured light or stereoscopic photography.
From a quick Google search I can see that some 3D scanners exist, but I've no idea which is the best bet in terms of cost/accuracy/etc. and indeed whether one could DIY one using software to brute force the alignment from multiple shots rather than requiring an accurate rotational raster stage. |
