Author Topic: how to apply real life physics to blockhead? (I'm 3D printing :D)  (Read 856 times)

I'm planning on 3D printing a blockhead with my local 3D printing service, but I can't think of a good way to keep the blockhead standing with real life physics without making it look weird. I want it to stand in place in a fixed position and I don't want the beta player type :/

You could just print the pieces and then get some thin clear plastic poles and glue them.

I would print the entire blockhead with normal plastic. However, inside of the blockhead, I'd rig up the 3d printer to print 3 cubes of magnesium diboride, 1 in both 'feet' and 1 in the pants. Then, I'd sink all the parts of the blockhead in liquid nitrogen until the magnesium diboride passes its superconducting phase transition point, so that the torso of the blockhead just sorta floats above the feet like magic.

you sound like one of those teachers

I learned it from a KRS ONE song dude

I don't think that would be very secure though, and I'm really sure where I can get the pieces of clear plastic.

Encase it in clear plastic, like those bugs stuck in amber

Embed supercooled superconductors within the hips and hands with steel in the arms and feet. ;)

I like the plastic poles idea,

but you can't mess with KRS ONE.

Then put it on your walking stick and make a blockland theme park.

You could attach the floating pieces with fishing line and hang it from something so that the feet still touch the desk or whatever, but it is mobile and you can swing it around and stuff I guess.

Use the console for the parts to float.
I'd get a resistant wire-like clear plastic and glue the pieces together that way you can move the parts around without worrying about it breaking.
