Blog 1: Thingiverse

Something beautiful

To me, there is nothing more beautiful than a fresh layer of snow on the ground(as long as I have nowhere to be of course). That being said, this 3D printed snowflake tree ornament is something I would put on my tree in a heartbeat. Source

Something funny/strange

This is a tree topper in the shape of a weeping angel. I found this funny because as a Doctor Who fan, a weeping angel is not something I would want it my house if it were real so I would never put it on my Christmas tree. Source

Something useless

Gestural 3D printing, as it is described sounds pretty much useless. Yes it is cool that you can use a kinect to track your movements and then print out the outline but what use is there? A lumpy smiley face is about all you can do. Source

Something useful

Everyone loves music, me included, so this parametric music box would be a cool use. Yes, it wont change the world but it would be a cool thing to give a child. As they grow up, you can print out new snippets of songs for them. Source

Something that surprised me

I did not expect to see a customizable lithopane on thingiverse. Never crossed my mind to be honest. In this case, the surprise is good and I already have a few pictures in mind that I would love to turn into these. Source
