Here is the result of my adventure in creating a vacuum forming setup. My first victim is a 3D print of a Stormtrooper helmet.

I designed and printed this model of Mario in all its 8bit glory.
New Adventures in 3D Printing
Sasquatches Enter the Wild
I just finished a batch job for Critterosity (Critterosity@Facebook, Critterosity@Instagram). These came out really great. I’m excited to see how well they do at Designer Con next week. Stay tuned…
What are you up to now?
Err… lots of things. Mostly though, I’ve been getting better with Blender. I’m really starting to understand the tools and features of the program. Right now I’m practicing mesh editing a Minion model. I plan to reverse engineer the STL file into Blender shapes to create variations of the original. I’ll upload and release them shortly.
Upgraded Stepper Motors
So I recently got around to replacing the original stepper motors on my Thing-O-Matic with “upgraded” motors. So far so good. My first test prints were of a Stormtrooper helmet. I still haven’t worked the motors hard enough to see any improvements but I’ll get around to that eventually.
Blender for 3D Printing
One of the items occupying my free time has been learning to model in Blender for use in 3D printing. I purchased this training DVD as a way to dive into Blender. So far it has been very helpful. It covers most of the basics and does a swell job of exploring the new Blender 3D Printing tools. For more comprehensive modeling tutorials check out their other training DVDs.
