makerbot cupcake cnc.

It was an on again off again sort of project mostly off, but i finished it up a week or two ago. Now I can print plastic in any shape i can draw in art of illusion. It's satisfying fiddling at the computer for a while then printing and having a real 3d thing.



What's some stuff you've printed?


mostly just silly calibration cubes. a few space invaders and companion cubes to give to friends. today i (continued) work on a spindle to hold the big spool of plastic.

cnc is so much fun. I think i'm going to have to get a cnc mill. this is just to tempting. http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/guerrilla_cnc1.shtml

In the near term i'll probably just print some brackets and containers for stuff.


I'm trying to think of enough things I would print so I can justify getting one. No luck yet :-(
