Printers finally available!
By The Media Team on October 12, 2016
We have our first 3D print!
After taking a simple scan of a rucksack, we’ve produced a scaled down 3D printed version. The green shows a lower resolution, and the orange higher. We also produced a 3D print of a gear system, which can hopefully be used to slow down the rotation speed of the turntable.
The lower resolution prints took only ~30 mins, whereas the higher resolution print took roughly 2 and a half hours!
The final results of the low resolution prints came out very nicely as seen below. Note that the support structure from the prints has yet to be removed!
