This page is for the class blogs we need to write for different topics about the 3-D printing.
Blog 1: Thingiverse
We had to find different items on the Thingiverse that inspired us.
An item that is amazing/beautiful
The model of human brain is really detailed and we can see the structure of it. I don't agree with the author said it's rather coarse, it isn't creepy and I think it's beautiful.Source
An item that is funny or strange
On the first glance of this object it reminds me of the Iron Man, it was made of 3 type of colors. Although it's very tiny, but it looks like the same as the original one with every detail on it. Also it is curved and I don't know how to do that by 3D printer. Source
An item that is useless
We already had a perfect industry for plastic box. They are cheap, strong, large and useful, why should we take a long way to use 3-D printing to make it? I don't understand.Source
An item that is useful
Do you ever imagine you can made one of your own phone case? I want one badly. This allows you to use your needs and ideas to made it that different from others which is convenient.Source
An item that surprised me
There is a video about this object in the source link shows the operation of it. It works smoothly, every part of it is perfectly matched and rotating very well.Source
Blog 2: OSE project
We were asked to research about OSE projects and respond to the following:
A) I want your general impressions of the OSE project; positive, negative, utopian, etc. Please do a bit more research than just viewing the video, as it is now several years old and they have made some progress since then. Links to more recent videos and media will earn you a better blog.
B) The New Yorker magazine recently had a fairly critical article regarding Marcin's OSE project. Find/link that article and summarize its critique. Marcin had a response to that: I'd like your response to both of these pieces.
C) Imagine we want to create capabilities similar to what Marcin has made at PSU (something like an OSE student club, or another effort). I don't think the administration or trustees would support such a thing, but there might be professors who are interested in supporting such a thing. Do you know any of them? What do they do, and why do you think they would be interested in such a project? Imagine you are looking for allies to do such a thing. Whom is on your list and why?
Answers:
A)
