Blog 1: Thingiverse

We had to explore around on [www.thingiverse.com Thingiverse] and find different items.

An item that is amazing/beautiful

Here's a gorgeous Japanese-style folding screen with an ocean print. The design is both beautiful and simple although it looks complicated. Source

An item that is funny or strange

One of my favorite movies is Sweeney Todd and I found (by cleverly using the search bar) this Sweeney Todd razor. If you don't know what the movie about, Sweeney Todd is a barber and his accomplice is a pie maker (see if you can make the connection). Source

An item that is useless

This ping pong ball seems really pointless. If you want customization, you could probably use sharpie on a regular ping pong ball. Also, I think having an imperfect ball would affect the game. Source

An item that is useful

This is a cool print of a foldable booklet. They didn't go into much detail of the technique they used but it is definitely unique. They mentioned how combining steps and using simple designs allows for cheaper production which is what I think a big part of 3d printing is. Source

The best printable Raspberry Pi case I could find

This case had a lot of made versions and a lot of likes. It also allows for customization of the case. The instructions also include a detailed blog post which seems useful for trouble-shooting and gives a lot of credibility to the creators. Source
