Blog 1: Thingiverse

We had to explore around on thingiverse and find different items.

Something that is amazing

This is something I think is amazing, and could be very useful for an engineering demonstration if a prototype turbo was in the design process. I have a turbo that I modeled in SolidWorks and was not sure if the 3D printers would have the ability to print all the parts for it, but clearly they are fully capable of doing so.

An item that is useful

I like making paracord bracelets, but it's not always easy to find plastic buckles that curve to the shape of a person's wrist, so with 3D printing one could choose customizable radiuses for a specific person or just make one anytime the buckles break. In my case, my roommate's dog destroyed mine!

Something which surprised me

This definitely surprised me as I was browsing through Thingiverse. I thought it was a pretty cool idea though if you want to stand out in a crowd at night!
