Printing In 3D

15 years ago

I don't know if or how many of you are up on this new printing technology but as for myself .. "I have Never seen anything like this except maybe on Star-trek"!

They actually 'print' out a 3D adjustable wrench in this video that the guy then uses to tighten bolts with! 8)

This is some truly amazing stuff!

Did You See Houzz 3D Printer?

Yes, I've seen only videos of the printers and they sound very interesting. Thats partly why this video is so much fun, it's almost real. I love fun stuff like this. When you watch the video the graphics are fun and goofy. The text at the end of the video looked like it was a lot of fun to write by the creators.

3D printed lamps?

It is a matter of perspective. If you're comparing only the cost of the spools of filament needed to build a shade to the price you'd pay to get a designer lighting fixture, it may be cheaper. On the other hand, if you consider the following cost of time spent designing a similar shade, figuring out how to build it on a 3D printer and then attach it to an existing fixture. cost of the 3D printer. CAD software. cost of time spent tending to the 3D printer. cost of filament spent on the prototypes... it will be significantly more costly than getting COTS. The main reason for complex DIY is usually for exercising one's talents/ expanding scope of knowledge and abilities. A reason why DIY gets a bad rap is due to the quick, superficial analysis (of what it would take to complete a job be it painting, installing a door, making a multi-way circuit, ...) made and the lack of follow through to completion.

two story addition and overwhelmed with the decision making process

Can you ask your architect? We’re in the DC area and our architect was a good source for other referrals. Fwiw it’s a really good idea to get some help on materials and fixtures. We recently added a primary suite, screen porch, and remodeled most of our existing space. There are so many decisions to make, all interrelated. I thought i knew what I wanted and I love decorating so opted not to hire a designer. In retrospect it was a big mistake - we’re happy with the end result but it was so overwhelming and esp now I can see where a designer would have helped me make better choices as well as saved me infinite stress. Good luck!

Ha ha, they might make the teeth but you might have to sell your home. Probably costly at the outset. Pretty incredible though

I sent the link to my husband I knew he would be fascinated and I was right he followed all the other related videos from that link and was amazed at what all has been made. He was happily enthralled for quite a while LOL

I keep wondering how that printer knows it is copying an adjustable wrench and that some parts move. I am a little skeptical.

Here you go Minnie, you can buy your own printer :~)

No prices of course so I suspect our pensions will not cover it.

Someone I sent the link to confirmed it with Snopes that it was true

But what do they know!

oh it is true it all has to do with the scanner they use it is a 3D scanner so it can detect the differences in the gears and and levels of the item.

Some of those other videos are really mind blowing.

to make your teeth though they would need some to scan LOL
so not sure that would work.
