Peanut butter jelly time!

This model was 3D Printed with colorFabb signal yellow PLA/PHA at 200 micron layers on a Makerbot Replicator 1 Dual.

The original model can be found here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:261250

I printed it with meshmixer supports as shown in the top fixture.

My first 3D print with the new colorFabb woodfill coarse material. A decorative M shaped letter bowl for a unique christmas box.

This material is a PLA filled with 30% pine wood. The wood particles are pretty coarse so the printing nozzle has to be modified to be 0.8mm diameter. You lose some resolution with this, but with large models like this, it really speeds things up. Even with the coarse 0.4mm layer height I used, the quality is still quite good and the grain of the wood disguises the layer lines until you get really close.

More about this material at learn.colorfabb.com and printedsolid.com.

I tested a bunch of new filaments this past weekend including the new colorFabb woodfill (my favorite of the bunch!).

These are some pics from a really cool kickstarter I am backing.

Doctor Scott Camazine is using CT scans to generate 3D printable models of different animal skulls, many of which are endangered. CT (computed tomography) is the same technology used to create 3 dimensional models of the your bones, organs, or vasculature to aid the doctor in diagnosing medical conditions. This technology works by generating many different x-ray slices through the object at different angles, which the computer program can then combine into a model.

This method produces a highly accurate internal and external representation of the object being scanned.

Pictures above:

Another version of the Grumpy Pumpkin. This time remixed so that a light source can be dropped in.

A few Halloween Ideas with 3D Printing

I've been 3D printing Halloween themed parts throughout the year, both for fun and as props for The Haunted Barn in Camden, DE.

Now that Halloween is almost here, I thought it would be cool to put up some of the things I've printed. I'd love to supplement this with other people's prints as well. Please leave a comment with your print. You can link it, or send it to me and I will add it to the post!

There are tons of Halloween models available for free download or purchase on the internet. Check out Thingiverse, Ponoko, Shapeways, Cubehero, youmagine, or grabcad just to name a few.

At the moment, I think this is my favorite. The top is removable so that a light source (I used a LED tealight) can be dropped in.

It was 3D printed in clear colorFabb XT copolyester filament on an Ultimaker at 200 micron resolution.

I also printed the original model in colorFabb Dutch Orange PLA/PHA.

Busts of creepy objects make great Halloween decorations. Print up a bunch of these beasties. One little weird clown head might be an oddity, but a room full of these guys might really add some freaky ambience to your event.

Here are a few from artist Shane Campbell.

Prints of these models in a number of different materials at a smaller scale are available from his shapeways store as well.

Another cool idea is to print up bowls in creepy phrases to put your candy in.

You can print accessories for your costume. Design it so that a glow stick can be inserted for some cool effects.

The celtic skull charms fit over a 7mm glow necklace. The white ones are actually in glow in the dark ABS. When the glow stick is activated, the eyes glow. The red and orange are colorFabb PLA/PHA

Here is a remix I made of the awesome creepy clown model from artist Andy Monks. The Glow Stick head is available for purchase at the Haunted Barn. Prints of the original model (no glow stick unless Andy decides to add one) are available in his shapeways store.

Finally, a little commercial for the Haunted Barn. If you are near the Southern Delaware area and are looking for a good scare, check them out. You can also buy this cool shirt!
