3D, e màquinas no Google Sketchup

Antes de mais, uma Feliz Páscoa!

Eis o topo-da-linha em Impressão 3D Profissional, sem dúvida, num Vídeo em Espanhol:

Porém, esta incrível Máquina, muito mais barata, nunca vos deixará mal, que perfeiçâo de detalhes, e o melhor, em altura, é muito capaz de fazer tudo o que queiram:

Miicraft’s high resolution 3D printer
New high resolution kitset 3D printer in the works!

MiiCraft are a group of 3D printing enthusiasts who’re building a new high resolution 3D printer. They’re aiming for a price point of USD$2000 and hope that to release their evaluation kitset by about June of this year.

Atenção, a Inovação 3D também fala Português, eis o Brasileiro Júnior Veloso, e uma máquina comparável:

Fundraising begins for Junior Veloso’s resin-based 3D printer

Long-awaited project aims to raise $300,000

Well, it took a bit longer than the post last month indicated, but Junior Veloso’s awesome-looking resin-based 3D printer is now taking preorders.

Since the project will need a certain minimum amount of interest to be practical, the preorders are being done in the form of an Indiegogo campaign. (Indiegogo is similar to Kickstarter, but with more flexibility in funding and location terms.)

Here’s how the main campaign levels break down:

– $599 Basic Kit I

Software, controller board, schematics/plans

– $1,999 Basic Kit II

Above, plus motors, linear actuators, power supply, building tray, building head

– $3,999 Full Kit

Above, plus DLP projector, 1kg of resin, assembly tools

E vão de vez em quando à Inventables, para além de Materiais incríveis, para as vossas Engenhocas, como Spray de Moldar, Aço Tranparente, e Couro de Peixe(!), eles oferecem esta máquina CNC:

E qua tal, contruírem as vossas Máquinas, que funcionam, rodam, interagem, etc. no Google Sketchup?
Atenção, é um pouco complicado, mas vai-se lá!

Tutorial: Gears & Joints with SketchUp and SketchyPhysics

Continuing my commitment to using free software even though it drives me up the wall sometimes

Following my recent obsession with drawing machines, I’m working on a new project with lots of gears and linkages. I figured it would be a good time to learn how to do mechanical modelling in SketchUp. Sketchy Physics is a plugin for Google SketchUp that allows you to simulate mechanical models. It is very capable but also very frustrating!
