Blog 1: Thingiverse

Exploring Thingiverse to get acquainted with printed objects users had created.

A) Something Amazing/Beautiful

I thought this Halo 4 Full Size Helmet was awesome for a number of reasons. Aside from the beautiful detail, I was impressed by the intricate design, as well as the large overall size and functionality. To have the patience to make all of the components and have a fantastic final product is quite an achievement. Personally, I would love to have one of these sitting in my apartments, or wear one around State College.

B) Something Funny or Strange

I had a good chuckle when I first saw this iPhone TV Stand. It seems like such a strange idea to develop for an iPhone, but is quite comical. If I used this, I would most likely keep it on my desk as a novelty, but could also act as an interesting phone holder while it charges. Also, the goofy smile on the front of the desk is an added plus.

C) Something Useless

I'm not sure why this iSpork Case was created, but I would hope it wasn't meant for serious use. Sure, you may want be on your phone while eating a meal, but it raises too many questions to be serious. While taking a phone call or texting on the go, would you like a spork jutting out towards you at all times? If you wash the spork, will your phone be safe? Do you want a spork in your pocket or bag all day? Do you think one would get a lot of compliments for having this case, or ridicule? Either way, I found this to be a useless venture.
