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. I would probably actually wear this.
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
I honestly cannot think of a single real use for this accessory. If you watch the YouTube clip they take a video on the phone while the mixer is going, and this is the only purpose I believe this could serve. Using your iPhone to mix ingredients would obviously ruin it. I did enjoy one of the comments on the picture that said "this is what Bill Gates uses to make cookies". It also come with a headphone jack in case you were worried that you couldn't listen to music while your iPhone is being destroyed!
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.
