Blog 1: Thingiverse Designs
"Blog Description: Go to thingiverse.com and look for printable objects, which other people have actually printed, finding designs which satisfy these descriptions in your mind: something amazing/beautiful, something funny or strange, something useless, something useful, something which surprised you".
Something Amazing/Beautiful
Elephants are my favorite animal, and I love the style of this necklace. I think that the fact that even the chain is printed is pretty amazing.
Something Funny or Strange
Apparently this is an old game, but I had never heard of it! The little zombie figures made me laugh, mostly because of their facial expressions. Maybe I'll look into how this game works!
Something Useless
While tennis is my favorite sport and this is a very realistic design, it could not actually function as a racquet since it has printed strings. The design could have left out the strings, and just had holes around the frame so that someone could put actual strings in the racquet, which would have maybe allowed it to be used to play the sport. Otherwise, it is just something that could be used as a decoration.
Something Useful
My apartment always seems to lose "chip clips", or we never have enough to go around. Being able to print a bunch of them would be very useful for us. It seems like a fairly simple design, so maybe one day I will be able to make these!
Something Which Surprised You
I didn't really know anything about 3D printing before this class. The reason why this iPhone dock surprised me is because I would have never guessed that something like this could be 3D printed. The fact that functioning technology accessories such as this can be made is incredible, and could save people tons of money.
