Intro
Hi, My name is Crosby. This is my user page where I will post my weekly blog posts and projects that I am working on in. I will continue to update this page as I progress through the class.
Blogs
Blog #1
A) Something amazing/beautiful
I felt that a lot of the designs posted on thingiverse did not have very many beautiful designs. Most of them seemed very blocky or crude. I really liked this lamp because of its abstract flowing lines. I also liked it because it seemed like something that would actually be harder to make by hand than using a 3d printer.

B) Something funny or strange
I found this rabbit holding a gem to be particularly strange for a couple of reasons. One reason that it looked really strange to me is the rabbits face. It has a kind of evil possessed look to it which is pretty weird. I also found it strange because the rabbit was holding a black gem. This lead me to believe that the gem it is holding is possessing it which I find to be strange.

C) Something useless
To me anything that is made out of plastic to look like food is a complete waste. All it does is make me hungry. This fake zebra cake doesn't even look that realistic. therefore I feel that it is completely useless and a waste of plastic.

D) Something useful
I thought this generator was really useful because it allows you to use the 3d printer to make electricity. This seemed really cool to me because you could potentially use something like this to power the raspberry pi or even the printer itself.

E) The ‘best’ printable Raspberry Pi case you can find
This Raspberry Pi case stood out to me because of its stack-able design. I thought that would be very useful in a class like ours with multiple raspberry pi's it would allow them to be neat and organized which would save us space. The design also didnt seem to complicated and looked relatively easy to print which is key for making any raspberry case good.
