Yeah, I have no real knowledge in animation or modelling etc etc, but it would be awesome if you could stay and possibly fulfill the community's wishes We are a great community

Yeah, it really seemed like we did a good job showing him how awesome of a community we are

Yeah... Humanity at its best

Sorry for not responding. Had a crazy few days at work and I haven't had a chance to log on...

Here are a few samples:

Ocarina (3D printed musical instruments project)





Hookah hose holder (I 3D printed this part and am using it right now)


Unfortunately, I can't share any of the parts I designed for work because they are proprietary designs, but I am quite experienced with clearances and tolerance determination for designs.

I am considering investing in Silo3D as well. It's a cheap package that works mostly using T-surfaces and is a more artistic software rather than an engineering design software package.

I also have a 3D printer, so if you guys have models you want printed, we can do that too.

Suggestions are welcome!


Best,

Um... I don't think the things we want to 3D print out of XStoryPlayer are the things that can possibly be 3D printed with today's current technology, but none the less, nice to know.

By the way, what is the state of 3D printing, can the printers still only produce rigid material objects, or can they now product objects that are flexible or elastic?


I read that as "Hookah nose holder" and I was like "What? That's not shaped right at all."

NASA has 3D printed rocket parts, and the Swedish hypercar company Koenigsegg has 3D printer titanium and carbon fiber.

Granted, the basic plastic ones are still $1000, but still, we can now print some cool stuff.

I know that metallic material is being used in 3D printing but that still falls under rigid material for the most part.

But you ask your self though, "Why would I want to print flexible or elastic objects?"

Oh, you are asking specifically about flexible or elastic objects. Hmm... I can't say I've heard anything about that. I mean, if it doesn't need to be under more stress, you might be able to get away with printing thin parts with the current rigid plastic, but as for specifically flexible or elastic objects, I don't know.

It is posible to fill some 3d printers with a rubber-like material and print with it.

Is there a policy against naming the companies you've done 3D modeling for?
