Tudo funciona, no papel, mas quando passa à Impressão 3D, surgem as dores-de-cabeça...

Cá vão mais 7 maneiras de editar e reparar os vossos Objectos em formato Stl, e todas elas, à borla, que é o mesmo que dizer, grátis:









7 Free STL Editors + How to Edit and Repair STL Files
Frederik Bedrich

How do I edit STL files? That is something any 3D printer owner sooner or later wonders. After all: Ready-made STL files are fine. But what if an STL file you downloaded lacks some features, is damaged or you need only a part of it? That’s when you need an STL editor.

Acho que é um desperdício de tempo e dinheiro, fabricar em série, usando uma Impressora 3D...
Que pode muito bem fazer apenas UM Molde, para daí, se criar um número infinito de peças!

Por isso, este método é uma boa maneira de lucrarem a sério com a Impressão 3D:






How to make resin copies of a 3d printed object. Mold-Making Tutorial.
gordontarpley

Long, boring video about taking a 3d printed part and making a mold of it. So far, all of my 3d printed parts have been modeled in Autodesk's 3d Studio Max and printed at Shapeways.

How to Make DIY 3D Printed Parts for Just About Anything
Frederik Bedrich

We’ve all been there. You fiddle about with a gizmo or furniture piece of some sort in the home and a piece just snaps off. Shoddy flimsy plastic is the culprit, and the irritation it brings is endless. Gluing the piece doesn’t help, and you resign to living with the original doodad as a shadow of its former self; functionally fine, probably, but still not quite right.
What if we were to tell you that there’s an answer to replacing such non-essential but easily missed parts? It’s rather simple — make it yourself! With the lowering in costs for personal home 3D printing, and the rise in competitively priced print bureaus, acquiring replacement 3D printed parts is a cinch.
So settle in and read along as we outline the ins-and-outs of creating 3D printed parts for games, toys and other such home objects.

Casio Mofrel 2.5D printer makes realistic fabric and leather samples
Brittany A. Roston


Casio is the latest company to showcase a cool new technology at Japan’s CEATEC event. The company recently demonstrated Mofrel 2.5D printing, an almost-3D printer that can produce materials with a texture like that of leather or fabrics. With this technology, sheets of textured ‘leather’ and ‘fabrics’ can be printed on-demand with various designs, then colored through a separate printing process.
Whereas 3D printers produce objects layer by layer out of plastics, Casio’s 2.5D printer is able to print very thin layers onto sheets of paper. These layers mimic the texture of materials, giving designers a fast on-demand way to test out a design, including getting a real-world feel of it, before creating actual samples with actual materials.

Enquanto não se vislumbram Impressora 3D de Metal, a preços mais acessíveis, eis como se faz, para transformar os vosso objectos, em peças metálicas:





fusion3dmodels

Molding metal by conventional casting methods can be an expensive, time consuming endeavor. However, with 3d printed molds and low temp alloys, it is now possible to create 3d printed molds quickly and cost-effectively as shown here. The final molded pieces can be sanded, polished or painted and withstand more punishment than 3d printed pieces will. Now, you can go from concept to CAD to metal casting in less than a day!

E se não o sabem, as Impressoras 3D foram feitas mesmo para isto, criar MOLDES, dos quais se fazem N cópias diferentes, por isso, aprendam como poupar tempo e dinheiro, criando a vossa própria Fabriqueta em casa!





Making a 3-D Printed Mold
rachel

I recently had a project where I needed to create a couple dozen identical foam ear shapes.  Casting from a mold is the clear solution here.  However, the ears needed to fit onto an existing product, so I knew some tweaking of the design would be necessary to get it right before I could make the dozens. I was able to use Instructables' Objet Connex printers to make my molds, based on CAD drawings I made, and after a couple tweaks I got the design right and was able to make the full run.
In this Instructable I'll share what I learned about how to draw a CAD for a mold and 3D printing it out. I will assume you have access to and moderate proficiency with a CAD system (it doesn't matter what kind). For the printing, if you want to make your own but don't have access to a 3D printer, there are many services which print for a fee, or Instructables may be able to do that for you. The actual casting I will leave out as I was using an expanding polyurethane foam, which is not a generally applicable material.

Construír Robots! E Visão para os quase cegos, uma Serra de lixar(?) Óculos de sol de frascos, e Lego das Impressoras!

Querem fazer o vosso Robot, em casa?
Aprendam com o nosso amigo DJ Harrigam, como o podem fazer, um Manual de categoria, para fazer toda a espécie de Robots:



Designing And Building A Robot
DJ Harrigan
Introduction To Robotics And Robot Making  
For a hundred years, robots, automatons or otherwise synthetic assistants have been part of our popular culture. While they’ve mostly been restricted to the silver screen, thanks to increasingly affordable and powerful electronics, making robots has never been easier. Now, if you’ve got the determination and a few bucks to spare, you can design and build a robot to your liking. Maybe even a cool MeArm as depicted in the illustration above. 
Although robotics is more accessible than ever, any robot is a complex system and requires at least a basic understanding of electricity, mechanical design and programming to create. Never fear! My goal is to explain the high level concepts that make for a successful robot as well as point to the right tools and materials that the bot builders of today are using in their designs. It is a challenge, but there’s nothing quite like taking raw materials and making them come to life. Let’s get started! 












Algo que importa divulgar por todo o Mundo Lusófono, os quase-cegos poderão VER outra vez, com esta maravilhosa Enhenhoca, por isso, cá vai a Referência:







How Does eSight Let The Legally Blind See? 
eSight houses a high-speed, high-definition camera that captures everything the user is looking at. eSight’s algorithms enhance the video feed and display it on two, OLED screens in front of the user's eyes. Full color video images are clearly seen by the eSight user with unprecedented visual clarity and virtually no lag. With eSight’s patented Bioptic Tilt capability, users can adjust the device to the precise position that, for them, presents the best view of the video while maximizing side peripheral vision. This ensures a user’s balance and prevents nausea – common problems with other immersive technologies  













Lixar como deve de ser, não é brincadeira...
Por isso, vejam só esta bela ideia para lixarem Madeira com um resultado fantástico, bem fluído e contínuo:




Sanding Saw
Mikhandmaker 
For those of us who collect homemade sanding blocks or need to sand around corners and curves, may I present to you this homemade bow sander.
This bow sander is great for tight, curved places and works from both top and bottom.
Maybe your great grandchildren will look at yours someday and ask, “What was that thing for anyway?

Blue Light Blocking Glasses From Pill Bottlesthe6thstar 
So recently I read an article about how wearing orange glasses at night can help you sleep better at night. I wanted to test this for myself, and being the cheap person that I am, I made my own and it took me about an hour and a half. So yeah, that's what this instructable is.

Uma pequena Maravilha, tanto para terem peças de Lego à vossa maneira, como para aprenderem como mexer no porreiríssimo Programa FeeeCad, é esta quantidade de peças de Lego que podem imprimir.







Lego bricks in FreeCADmase 
People of FreeCAD
----------------------
SO.... What about to create a LEGO BRICK libary for FreeCAD :)

The aim for this projekt is learning useful stuff:
[*] get use to with freecad
[*] improving my english
[*] get use to git (maintaining the libary)
[*] And MAYBE create addon for adding the lego bricks and to put them together.
Help is very much appreciated. I would be happy to have some feedback about my drawings.
[*] right measurements about the bricks
[*] opinion about the constructions ( how they are made)
[*] opinion about the construction is properly draw. (I read that in an .fcstd u can verify how the construction is drawn)
Here is the url of the legolib https://github.com/mase-tech/FreeCAD-LEGO

Feel free to suggest, help and correct me :)
kindly greetings from Germany
