3D Printing Projects
Hosted by
Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ,
Bryan Burnett
From idea to prototype, we go over the dos and don'ts of 3D Printing.
Although the show is no longer in production, you can enjoy episodes from the TWiT Archives.
Have a problem that 3D printing can solve? We go over the common printing pitfalls, and the process of building your idea from prototype, to finished product.
Segment Goals:
- Find a real-world problem
- Beg, Borrow and Steal as much as you can! (A STL model that gets us CLOSE to the solution)
- Modify an existing STL to fit our needs
- Fix overhangs
Tools/Supplies Needed:
- Thingiverse
- Tinkercad
- Autodesk Meshmixer
- 3D Printer
- Ball Mason Jars (16oz)
- Coffee Filter
Segment Procedure:
- Search for and download a STL file for a Ball Mason Jar
- Adapt the STL for a larger jar
- Create a double-ended model
- Add supports with "Meshmixer"
- Print!
