3D Printing!


Colors for our Chess Set - What are good color choices and why?



What to do to get your files printed.

1) Show Joe your model laid out in the Makerbot software
2) Pick a PLA color
3) Get on the color rotation list
4) Transfer your file to the appropriate printer
* The one Replicator 2 needs a .x3g file.
* Makerbot Mini and other Replicator 2 use a .thing file.

Cookie cutter dimensions

back layer = 3mm tall

mid layer = 9mm tall

outside layer = 13mm tall

How to use Makerbot Software

Open the Makerbot Software

What's Where
- Top Options
under "Prepare"
Settings - Add File - Upload to Library - Preview - Export Print File - Print

- Navigation

- View

- Move Objects

- Rotate Object

- Scale Object

Saving and Printing your File
Save your file as a ".thing"

Export your file as an ".x3g"




How to Make and Print your cookie cutter.

1) Create a black and white JPEG in Photoshop for your outline, background and impression of your cookie cutter.

2) You need to make an SVG (scalable vector graphics) file from each of your JPGS. Try the online SVG converter here. 

3) Using TinkerCad, import your SVGs, scale them to the appropriate hight on the Z axis then export each as an STL

4) Open the Makerbot software. Drag and Drop all three STL files onto the print bed. Click "Don't Scale" win the pop up box. 

5) Resize your cookie cutters to fit properly on the print bed.

6) Save your 3D file as a ".thing" file and exported as a .X3G 


Rules

For the Makerbot Software:
- Always make sure the model is on the platform before exporting
- Kepp your file names less then 6 characters. Ex.. cow.x3g

For 3D Printing:
- Always watch your print while printing for the first 15% the check on it every 20 min.
- Make sure the filament is positioned correctly on the back of the printer
- Never use anything metal on the print bed

Chess Piece sizes

Rules for chess pieces to board size:   
The base diameter of the king should fall within a range of 68% to 75% of the square size.  For example, if you have a 2.25" board (each square is 2.25" x 2.25" or 57.1mm x 57.1mm) then the chess pieces you choose should have a king's base diameter of 2.25 x (0.68) to 2.25 x (0.75) which = 1.53" (38.9mm) to 1.687" (42.9mm) in diameter.



What we are working with:

Chessboard Square Tile - 40mm a side, this means no piece and be wider then 36mm


king - 75mm tall

queen - 70mm tall
bishop - 60mm tall

kinght - 50mm tall

rook - 45mm tall

pawn - 40mm tall

Special pieces - 50-65mm tall

Preparing your chess pieces for printing

1) open Makerware

2) Click on 'Prepare' and "Add File" to import your .STL's to the print bed

3) Use the 'Move' tool to separate the models from each other
* remember any models that are touching will be printed as a single piece

4) Use the 'Scale' too to resize the 3d models to the proper size
a- scale the piece to the proper hight and width. Set the model at the correct hight and adjust for the width if necessary.

5) Use 'Save As' to save your .Thing file to the desktop 

6) Change your 'Settings'
Resolution - Low(Faster)
Infill - 8%
# of Shells - 3
Layer Height - .30 mm


7) Export Print File
- Take a screen shot of the Export Info and keep it with your .x3g file. You will hand in both to me.

8) Show Joe your .Thing, .x3g & Export Info screen shot to be approved for printing. Your files should be labeled with your initials and a number ie.. jvs1.thing

3d Design & 3d Printing

 
3d printing has been used by industry since the mid 1980's. It is used to print everything from food to human tissue to guns.

Our Makerbot Replicator 2 works through additive manufacturing. This is accomplished by laying down thin layers of plastic, one on top of the other, to build up a 3d structure.

Virtual models can be built in 3d software programs or captured with a 3d scanner or digital camera.

Motion Graphics

description:
- Create a 45 Second Motion Graphic using Photoshop

things to consider:

- Think about how the viewer perceives what is happening in the space. Consider zooming in and out to create the illusion of depth. Collect images and graphics and think about what they mean to the viewer and how mixing them together or changing them changes the relationship to the viewer.

whats due:
One digital HD video, 1920 x 1080 pixels at 72 dpi. Your animation must be at least 45 seconds long . Your video will be handed in full size as a .MOV to Joe and will be uploaded to your Youtube account.
