I designed and printed a robo necklace

if you want to print one yourself, download the stl file or fetch the openscad and the dxf file. then stick on some moving eyes

Printed Processing sketch

Posted by Nikolaus Gradwohl Wed, 13 Jan 2010 05:05:04 GMT

I just printed the first stl file that i generated using a processing sketch.

I used the unlekkerlib to export a stl file from a sketch that generates simple 3d spiral, used blender to add a socket and printed it on my makerbot. Skeinforge complained about some invalid triangles, but beside that it worked surprisingly well.

This is what it looks like in blender rendered

and this is what the makerbot made of it printed

and this is the processing-sketch i used to generated the spiral

import unlekker.data.*;

void setup() {
  size(300,300,P3D);
  noLoop();
}

void draw() {
  translate(width/2,height/2);
  background(0);
  fill(255);
  lights();
  noStroke();
  //stroke(255);
  beginRaw("unlekker.data.STL","guru.stl");
  beginShape(QUAD_STRIP);
  for( int i =0; i < 100; i++ ) {
    for(int a=0; a < 36; a++) {
      float r = 10 - map(i,0,100,0,10);
      vertex( r * sin( radians( a * 10 )) + sin(radians(i*10)) * 10, 
              -i*1, 
              r * cos(radians(a*10)) + cos(radians(i*10)) * 10);

      int j = i+1;
      vertex( r * sin( radians( a * 10 )) + sin(radians(j*10)) * 10, 
              -j*1, 
              r * cos(radians(a*10)) + cos(radians(j*10)) * 10);
    }
  }
  endShape();
  endRaw();
}

Smiley-O-Mat

Posted by Nikolaus Gradwohl Fri, 08 Jan 2010 04:20:23 GMT

I just finished my Smiley-O-Mat - it's a tin-box with 3 turning knobs that allows you to controll the appearence of a smiley. With 3 simple turns I can now tell your co-workers, familymembers, ... how you feel at the moment and if it is wise to talk to me right now :-)

The controllerbox is made with an arduino, the smiley generator is written in processing, and the turning knobs are printed on my makerbot

This is what the controller looks like controler box

and here are some smileys i generated

I printed some turning knobs that fit on my variable resistors. This time i used openscad to make the design.

here is the scad file and the stl file, if you want to print your own.
