123D Catch Scan and Print: Boot
I wrote about how I started this project under "Fun Blog 1" on my blog page. In this blog, I described how I used the app 123D Catch to create a 3D model of a boot of mine.
After completing my work for this blog, I then continued to edit this model through Meshmixer. This is another free Autodesk program, which I downloaded from this link.
After downloading this to my computer, I saved my 3D model from Fun Blog 1 as an object file through 123D Catch. After doing this, I opened this object file in Meshmixer.
From this point, I then had to clean up the model by removing all of the surface area that can be seen in the first thumbnail picture here. Using commands in Meshmixer, I removed all of the excess surface area, closed open surfaces and made the object solid. The resulting model can be seen in the next thumbnail picture to the left.
From Meshmixer, I was then able to export this object model as an STL file. And after exporting this STL file, I scaled it appropriately in ReplicatorG, sliced it in slicer and then printed it on my group's printer, Big Red. The next picture below is an image that was taken from the ReplicatorG display. The last picture is a picture of the actual print itself.
If you look at the picture of the actual print, you will see that some of the detail in the model is not shown. The reason for this is not because of failure in making the model, but in printing the model. Our printer has been experiencing some trouble with its z-axis, and I was most of the way through my print before I realized that something was wrong with the printer.
However, regardless of this, I was able to successfully create a printable file from my 3D model. In the future, I may print this file again on a different printer to show the minor detail in the model.
Majora's Mask: Printable Necklace
For this project, I found an interesting upload on Thingiverse and decided to print it.
I found a necklace piece that is in the shape of Majora's Mask, from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. The Thingiverse article can be accessed here. And a picture of this thing is below.
