For this class we write weekly blogs on a variety of topics that have to do with 3D printing.

Blog 1: Thingiverse

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

An item that is amazing/beautiful

Here is a beautiful vase with a vortex swirl theme to form it. I really liked this piece since it seems to be very smoothly designed. Source

An item that is funny or strange

I must admit I was having trouble finding something for this category. So I started typing in random words. One of them happened to be teeth and I saw this! I know what my pumpkin is going to look like next year! Source

An item that is useless

These scissors will definitely not cut through any paper. Even toddler scissors can at least cut a little. The idea is cute though. Source

An item that is useful

I thought this item was cool. It's kinda neat how the cup separates your toothbrush from your tooth paste, and it smiles at you! It would be something I would use at home. There are plenty of other useful things on thingiverse though. Source

Something which surprised you...

None of the things I found really surprised me. I have used thingiverse before so I am quite familiar with the site. It is always fun to find new things, so I decided to use another useful printed object. A video game controller joystick. It happens that joysticks can get over used and then don't run as smoothly, so a quick fix is to 3D print one! Source
