I designed hinges in Sketchup
and exported them to Makerbot
Here they are being printed (around 40% done)
Here it is about 60%
meh. The machine just overheated.
It is just as well, since the design was not correct. The hinges are just a bit too big to fit together.
Back to Sketchup….

Below are a sampling of some of the prints we made in 2014-15. Many more of them did not make this posting.

Back at the District Office, I have been experimenting with a Makerbot Replicator 2X Dual Extrusion 3D Printer (whew, that’s a mouthful).
There is so much potential for 3D printing, yet there is still just a 66% success rate on our prints. Some prints stop sticking to the build plate, sometimes the extruder clogs up in the middle of a print, sometimes who-knows-what happens.
I wish it were as easy as a Ron Popeil’s rotisserie chicken cooker. You know, “JUST SET IT AND FORGET IT!”)
