Krakin Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 So my friend and I got our school's 3D printer hooked up yesterday for the first time in 2.5 years. Last night I decided it would be awesome to 3D print my car wheel I made on Autodesk Inventor. Just after getting the printer to register the computer and confirm calibration. Today we got all the files setup right, converted them, scaled them appropriately, and positioned them where we wanted them. After that it was time to make my first print! To finish printing all of my wheel (on the left), and the demonstration cube (on the right) will take a total of 16 hours and almost 8 cubic inches of material. This is as far as I could stand to stay and continue to be amazed at every layer printed. Our printer is printing this at 1 hundredth of an inch for every layer, or .0100 inches! I'll try to get some of the video's I took of it uploaded and them post them on here. For those who are wondering what printer we are using, it is the uPrint SE. http://www.stratasys.com/landing/uprint-affordable-3d-printer And we are using the program CatalystEX, IIRC, to read the STL files and send them to be printed.

I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . . What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself but what has drawn your attention in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears, thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

Krakin Posted March 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 This one prints a thin layer that is 1 hundredth of an inch thick at a time. To be able to do this it heats up ABS plastic, IIRC, past 250 degrees Fahrenheit, then has it flow through piping to the pen. Once it is outside of the pen and has been printed it cools fast enough to solidify. The black plastic is just a structural pattern that the printing program designed to be able to support the actual design while it is being made. This was it doesn't sag or fall over.

Krakin Posted March 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 If you can 3d print me an accurate 3d model of my truck. WE need to talk. I have considered trying to model an entire car very seriously, I've found quite a few diagrams and what not of all the parts it takes to make a car. Things like these. If anyone is going to get a scale sized, full replica it will be ME. Haha. But I will for sure hit you up if I do it. lol Krakin's Home Dipole Project http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/186153-krakins-dipole-project-new-reciever-in-rockford-science/#entry2772370 Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist?

Krakin Posted March 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 The first video of it starting and laying down the foundation. After it has gone for about an hour. Was making the sidewalls of the wheel. Sounded like a machine gun going off! (Much louder when I was listening) Krakin's Home Dipole Project http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/186153-krakins-dipole-project-new-reciever-in-rockford-science/#entry2772370 Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist?
