can i tell you how amazing 3D printing stuff really is

[GhostStar]

i loving love 3d printing. i almost 3d printed a model of my house but i decided i should spend my money on something else.

I volunteer at a 3D printing lab. For volunteering I get community service hours as well as free printing. (unless the print is really big and will take like 2 days)

This is the first thing I printed. What else should I print? it's a makerbot replicator 2 so the quality isn't great but it's good enough

[.:FancyPants:.]

holy stuff make the weirdest lego block in existence and sell it for millions of dollars

[GhostStar]

do a blockhead, the hands actually touch the torso a bit and there could be some thin material to connect the feet. plus how did you come by the opportunity to volunteer ate a 3d printing lab?

alternatively, the figure could be sitting on a platform.

yes that

Wasn't there a whole controversy based on 3D printing?

I think the Liberator 3D printed Pistol was hosted on The Pirate Bay... That attracted a lot of attention.

say, aren't you the guy who makes all those blockland blender animations? if so, can you rig up a quick blockhead model that has holes in the limbs so i can put some clear tubing in between or something?

there's a library downtown that created a makerspace to introduce people to "maker culture"

one of my friends was already volunteering there so i signed up

edit: do any DIY people know how i could rig up a blockhead to have some clear material between the limbs? what material would i use/what could i buy? i don't want to use glass and i dont know how i could use plastic

I would do something clever like touching the hands to the torso and making a "BLOCKLAND" sign in front of the figure connecting the torso to feet

Id so make Aviation Briefing Sticks of some WWI Biplanes :D

smart. or maybe i could run string between the limbs and hang the blockhead from somewhere.
edit:
i feel like modeling a blockhead figure but i have no experience. if somebody models me a blockhead figure with limbs connected able to be connected by some clear material + twistable shoulders, i will print two and mail you one.

Might make one tomorrow in class
But I don't want you to mail me one, I have free access to at least 3 different printers

[ultimamax]

fair enough. if you make one, PM me or something please.
