The colour makes unfold look like one of the Simpsons

D'oh!

[mike]

My kids saw it and asked if they can have one - would you mind sharing the stl file unfold?

You could start charging for these mini-mes )

[unfold]

Mike,

Sure, Its on thingiverse: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:749
The only payment I accept is a picture of your print  

Ian, is it possible to add your copy on thingiverse?

[Ian]

Yes no problem will add all three, couldn't resist the full set from 25mm to 100mm all 0.25Z big one took 7 hours approx.

[unfold]

NICE! You clearly start to see the polygons on the big one.
Will that yellow colour be available for order one day?

[Ian]

Yes I will kick Iain and get him to put it on site, if you want some just order any colour and note in the comments you want yellow if you can't wait 

[Iain]

Hi all,

despite no kicking from Ian - I just read here that I would get kicked - I have now added yellow to the store. Order away!

Best regards,

Iain

Hi all,

here are some of my printing examples.

The bowl in the cube:
It is designed by a friend. Its printed at once (meaning bowl and cube at the same time) in ABS red and on a second try with PLA natural. When printed an cleaned the bowl moves freely inside the cube, but you can't get it through the holes.
With PLA i received a much better result on the bowl and on the holes of the cube - but cleaning was much more then with ABS.

The second picture shows a bed, printed in three parts, bed head, bed base and mattress with pillars all in PLA.

More objects to come... :-)

Regards
Nordom

niiiiiiice

I assume this is skeinforge with support - right?

[Szilard]

nordom, the first cubes with the ball insight ... you have printed it like as we see it on the pic? the ball didnt stick to the walls?

[john348]

It will be like the whistle where the internal ball is attached but only through the thinnest of plastic and you simpy break it off to free the ball.

[nordom]

Hi,

We didn't attach the ball to a wall, we just moved it down in Netfabb, so it bottom is on the same level as the bottom of the cube. On the attached picture you will see a failed PLA print on the left, but you can see the principle.

for the the cube printed with ABS i used Skeinforge, but with no support.
For the one printed in PLA natural i used Netfabb Studio Basic without raft. We tried some prints with raft but all failed due to the problem that after about 5 mm the head crashed into the ball, because the ball "streched" (can't explain it really, but see the one of those fails on the picture) itself on z a bit when printed on the raft.

With ABS the bottom of the ball was not printed well (as you can see on the picture below), but with PLA the bottom and top look really nice! On both prints the ball was "accidentally" connected to the walls through the strings that happen while printing.

I just finished one of the projects we have and here is one pic of it .

The project name is RFIDGlove, it has two sensors integrated (WiFi and RFID) and as you can imagine the "body" of the glove was designed by me and printed on our RepRap machine. The finishing is quite smooth and as you can see even the logos are printed nicely. Overall I'm really pleased with the performance of the 3D printer.

Feel free to coment it .

All the best,
Szilárd

looks nice, how is it printed? vertically or ? I assume it is printed as if you take this pic and turn 90deg cw
