3D Printing is cool

[moisesnake]

well, in my intro to engineering and design class (IED) we had the option to  print something we designed on autodesk Inventor
Today I started Printing a companion cube  from portal, took a while to designed but it turned out well on the computor..now just waiting to get the real life version.

so if anyone here has 3D printed anything what was it?,and if atall possible pictures.

From what I've read on 3D printing, you just make a 3d model and print it?
I've never done it, but it's actually been catching my attention more and more lately. If I was going to print something, it would probably be something lame like a mini sword or a sculpt of a 3d character's model so that I can paint them.

Or dinner forks because the ones at my house seem to vanish 
:O OR I can 3d print myself!

...how did you just guess exactly the other 2 things i would prints
i made an infinity blade form the ios app
and tried and failed to make a character game peice

[Zexion]

Are you limited to the fact that you have to make the model on your own? Because if not, most games models are available via google lol

I wasn't really but it was fun to make, ...and IT finally came out and there's a huge amount of webbing ... how do I get this off


how do I put pictures on here...ill figure it out

Just upload it to somewhere like Imgur and put the URL in img tags. I'm looking forward to seeing it!

If I had a 3D printer, my action figure collection would grow exponentially.
Well, probably not action figures, but normal figures.

Though, if I did have enough know-how to alter models to have opposable action figure joints, I'd fucking do it.

3D printing is one of those futuristic things I never expected we'd accomplish in my lifetime.

Really glad. Now... where are the flying cars and time machines?

Now... where are the flying cars and time machines?

Cars - Give it a few years, they're working on it lolz

Time Machines - Simply can not work =p

Where the hell have you guys been? We already have machines that tell us time.

Yeah, I'm wearing one on my wrist right now.

[Ryex]

Wait what? wrist born time devices are so last decade, there only really used for status symbols in the upper etchalons if you have a really nice expensive one. just your your pocket super computer like everyone else.
