Quick, everyone, pirate some expensive modeling software so you can make free 3D printable models! I think when I get a minute never I'll make a model of goatse, then upload it under titles like "Big Tits" or similar, just to stir things up a bit. Why in the world would you do that when there are so many free 3D modeling programs? And some of them are actually pretty decent looking from my non-serious hobbiest point of view anyway.
There are I've heard, haven't tried decent programs for 3D modeling for things like animation. But when it comes to mechanical design, you want need, in my opinion a parametric modeling system, like Solidworks or Inventor. Believe me, I've looked and re-look every few months, and nothing free comes anywhere near the capabilities of Solidworks. For reference, parametric design mostly boils down to relative dimensioning, so you can define the center of a hole some distance from an edge, and if you move that edge the hole follows it.
This allows you to make adjustable models, which in turn allows you to iterate your designs quickly until you hit some limitation, and your hole is now in free space, at which point everything goes to hell and you just have a beer.
Anything with static dimensions "this hole is at x,y,z - then adjust it manually after you move the edge it's supposed to be aligned with," or, gods forbid, primitive-based modeling BRL CAD - "I have a rectangular prism with these corners, I subtract from it a cylinder of this side at these coordinates Then again, I'm a mechanical engineer and I've had models 3D printed! Maybe people art abilities not me, in the slightest would do better with Blender.
I also doubt that it has a button that'll tell you the second area moment of inertia of a surface IE cross-section, which saves about 2 pages of calculus assuming an oddly-shaped beam when you're trying to print beam springs. Couldn't live without that! It will, though, be very handy to have copies of broken parts, etc. But I imagine they're going for cheap merchandising toys. I mean, it's about pirating, after all While decent quality 3D printers may become affordable are they really going to be worthwhile or cost effective to own?
Decent quality photo printers are affordable, but it works out a lot cheaper for me to use one of the many online services to print and deliver my photos than it does to buy and run my own photo printer and when I do want a photo printed there's very rarely any sort of rush so I'm happy to wait a few days. Even if you can nip into PC World and pick up a 3D printer in a few years time I doubt most people will bother as it'll probably end up cheaper to do your 3D printing through an online service who wont touch anything that's obviously copyright like the way most photo sites will avoid duplicating copyright photos.
This story does make me think of something you might see on thinkgeek, google or slashdot on April the 1st though. Once a metal 3d printer with sintering kiln is available it will be possible to download a saturday night special, and eventually an automatic rifle receiver.
I know, the material strength will need to be increased significantly for the gun to not blow up or fail after a single use. Given that it's generally necessary to dispose of a firearm after it has been fired during a crime, the fact that it'll only survive one shot isn't necessarily a bad thing They all share a way to position the working head in 3 dimensions relative to the work piece.
What is different is what kind of working head: drill bit for cutting metal, plastic extruder, laser for sintering, etc. Computerized Numerical Control CNC machines have been around for decades, working with materials like metal mostly.
Like the old mainframe computers, though, they were expensive enough that only businesses used them. The revolution will be when enough of the machines are cheap enough to make parts for each other at a community or home level. This already happens at the industrial level. It's just been too expensive for ordinary people to do that so far.
You missed the fact that these machines are additive rather than subtractive, the primary benefit is you only use the material you need. Will 3D printers come with a 'Bored Now! I know the article was written in a pretty tongue in cheek tone, but the phone accessories market for example, is growing rapidly, and if printers can be made bigger then why pay BMW 3k for a replacement front wing or bumper I think technology advanced required it will be a new era or of 'illegal downloads'.
Well, I guess unless you could prove they were just as good as the original as far as crashworthiness, etc is concerned, your insurance company might have something to say about it. And I somehow doubt that BMW would be likely to sit by and say - "Fair enough, they're probably as good as our parts" even if they thought they were. Ultimately, if there's a crash and doubts exist over a part's safety, if BMW have made the part, it's between them and their engineers and lawyers and your insurance company.
Seems that most of the quality problems are due to non repeatability on the axes due to the cheap motors used. A simple way to fix this is to use one of two things:- an accelerometer on each axis which actually measures "time of flight" or an optical sensor similar to the ones used on HP printers. Both of these methods would increase accuracy, an infrared thermometer pointed at the extruder tip would also allow real time feedback of the precise extrusion temperature which would help a lot with warping of the build.
Wonder why someone hasn't attempted to build one which extrudes a plastic containing iron, and then uses induction to keep the build at a set temperature?

Remember me. The Pirate Bay torrents printable 3D objects Tremble, thing-makers, because The Pirate Bay has started to share the source files for physical objects. Small-scale dildo manufacture would actually be one of the few things modern 3D printers are well-suited to doing. Thursday 26th January GMT chriswakey. I read that as "well suited to dong" Thursday 26th January GMT cordwainer 1.
You say that Yours, Willy. Wednesday 25th January GMT dotdavid. Indeed, sir A galloping horse is much faster than these noisy, slow and smelly automobiles. I don't doubt people said the same thing about videodisc vs.
ABS only. Absolutely, sir Their "but don't USE it" disclaimer inspires no confidence From your own link: "Please note that the 3D printing materials we use for manufacturing the designs make the products suitable only for decorative purposes and they are not suited for any other purpose. So how about This post has been deleted by its author. Print your own chocolates? Ah, but this is early days Give it a few years and it'll evolve into Star Trek's replicator. This way involves less child labour.
Even barefoot I'd rather go to one shop and get shoes, than go to all the places I'd have to go in order to find the parts for a RepRap. It would be much quicker to go to a shop to get sneakers All these replies and nobody noticed..
If the 3D printing industry is going to stick What if you put your foot on your scanner and received a custom fit pair? What if all the shop did was use their scanner and 3D printer? Didn't James May have a sorta successful go at that? If you think your states can get huffy about "states' rights", well you ain't seen nothing 'till you've sat with the European Parliament. That being said, the kinds of laws that WOULD so totally screw us over are already being worked on, like ACTA, and probably they have more of them waiting in the wings.
The complexities of the continent, means they'll get passed slower and take effect slower, but they're on their way. They'll come and go, and ultimately fail to do any of the things they were meant to do, and the Internet will live on. May edited May Hey, remember a loooong time ago a few posts up this page , when I promised to upload the Cincinnati show from ?
Well, I forgot all about it. But, tonight I remembered, and uploaded it. Here it is. I'll update the first post in this thread, too. Please tell me if you find any other broken links, or if you notice shows that should be in that first post, but aren't, and I'll get it updated. June December edited December I've updated the first post on this thread, adding a couple of shows, and correcting some old links. If anyone has shows to add, or links to correct, let me know!
Bry : Are you still around, running this place? If so, you might want to sticky this thread. Lots of good stuff here. If you need to make room, you could probably un-sticky the old "Favorite Songs Tournament" thread. Though I'd sort of miss that, it was a lot of fun back in the old days January edited November Rise from your grave Yeah, I'll go with that excuse. Thanks, avnerdsdontgetchicks!
Downloading now. December edited November This is not my recording, just passing it along in case anyone is interested. Thanks for the pointer, avnerdsdontgetchicks!
I've been looking for good-quality audio for Nes Gadol Haya Sham. Thank you for the link! Alas, the video is zipped, which does not save significant space it's already compressed but forces you to download the whole thing before viewing; you can't stream it.
Will have to set up a background download. As you've probably already discovered So flac files inside a zip not zipped for compression but convenience I used zip -0 anyway. I know some browsers will stream mp3 files, but I don't know about flac. Haven't logged in over four years.
The Raleigh show was five years ago today. Listening today and man does it sound good. I wish this Joco dude would tour more. November edited November Thanks avnerdsdontgetchicks, I updated the list in the first post of this thread. That's quite a gap in shows, between and I know JoCo hasn't done many shows in that time, but does anyone know of any recordings this list is missing?
If so let me know and I'll get it updated. Also I went through the list and found several broken links. Not surprising after all these years If anyone has a good link for any of these missing shows, please let me know. Otherwise I'll dig them up and upload them, and post them myself at some point.
