Then I made 9 small spheres and used rotate (copy=Yes) to place them on all 6 sides of the dice. Then I drew a sphere which originated from the center of the box and used Boolean Intersection to subtract both shapes from each other, leaving the smallest volume within the intersection of both shapes. I measured an existing dice and in Rhino I drew a box of 16x16x16mm. The pips on the sides are also hidden inside the outer perimeter of the dice. The shape of a dice can be a simple square box, but because of better rolling behaviour most dice have curved sides.Ī curved shape like that can not be made subtractively, at least not with a 2 axis machine like the milling machines most Fablabs have. I thought of making a 3D printed dice, or a few of them maybe.

I wanted to make something that I could use, so not only a model that is proof of the 3D print concept (additive). We also printed another test model on the Ultimaker and this one went in one go and formed like it should.ĭesign, model and 3D print an object (small, few cm) that could not be made subtractively You can notice the higher ring was being formed quite okay again so it seems the Ultimaker is able to print this model correctly. This was noticed a little while after the printer stopped printing and then the laptop was turned on again. This was not the Ultimakers fault though, because what happened was that the laptop running Cura went into sleep mode while it was sending the print to the printer. The result wasn't good as you can see below, the filament did not form the shapes correctly at all. The first one was the below model which we printed on the Ultimaker. We printed test models from Thingiverse to see what the the possibilities and limitations of these 3D printers are.

I did not install the most recent version, because our instructor explained that previous versions have more configuration options in the advanced and expert settings menus which the most recent version do not have.

For sending the prints to the printer we used Cura, which is an open source 3D printing software application.

In Fablab Amsterdam we have the Printrbot Plus and the Ultimaker Original available and we ran some tests to see how they would perform. 3D scan an object (and optionally print it).Design, model and 3D print an object (small, few cm) that could not be made subtractively.Test the design rules (possibilities/limitations) for your 3D printer(s) as a group assignment.This is mostly the case for parts with geometry where you can not get in with a subtractive tool. Other machines and processes are often preferred to use over a 3D printer with reasons like it's stronger, faster, cheaper etc, but to understand the application of 3D printing the general principle is: what you can not make by subtractive processes (cutting/milling etc) you would make with an additive process like 3D printing (building in stages by adding layers). In this weeks lecture Neil explained the strengths and the weaknesses of 3D printing. 3D scanning and printing Week 5 (24 February - 2 march)
