This is ALL KINDS OF COOL!

I'm so jealous. This is SO cool.

What, no moon rocks?

Otherwise I would officially declare this, "Cool"*




*It must be taken into consideration that I am by no means cool, I barely know the definition of the word (below 67 right?)

Man, I wish I had a 3D printer so I could make models of FRC robots and play with them like action figures... It would make strategy a billion kinds of fun!

Good job. We joke to our coach that he needs to buy us a portable 3-D color printer for our scouting meetings.

Moon rocks are on their way! :D The printer is tasked for a little while, but as soon as it is free, i will print some out :cool:

That Looks AWSOME!! My school has a printer too and I am really looking forward to trying the same thing based off the CAD model in my avatar. I also want to try to make a key chain with little moon rocks!:D

I SECOND THIS.

That looks really awesome :D 3D printers are so sweet. I really wish that we had one (though for all I know, we might. It's probably just hidden back in one of the art rooms :/ )

Hmmm, I smell a fundraising opportunity here...

Re: pic: Team 399 The Tin Man 3d print!
 

Wait until you see the painted version :P

Re: pic: Team 399 The Tin Man 3d print!
 

You didn't update the CAD model after changing your scoring mechanism?

Re: pic: Team 399 The Tin Man 3d print!
 

I'm not sure if the CAD team updated the model. I will have to ask them tomorrow at our team meeting.

Re: pic: Team 399 The Tin Man 3d print!
 

You still can.... with LEGO! Last year I made about 10 little LEGO models on some of my favorite robots over the year.... it was fun.


I wish my school had one of those!;)

Oh man that is sweet. Here is the painted version:

That would be a no, I used the latest CAD that i could find. Although, the lift arms did print, they flaked off during the sodium-hydroxide bath. We could make a simple roller and melt it on.

Re: pic: Team 399 The Tin Man 3d print!
 

This is just about the coolest thing ever... i want....

Re: pic: Team 399 The Tin Man 3d print!
 

AMAZING amount of detail! Everything, the sprockets, the pneumatic cylinders, the compressor, it's all there...
Great Job! I'm jealous!

Re: pic: Team 399 The Tin Man 3d print!
 

There was more. some of the finer details fell off in the very basic wash to remove the soluble support plastic. ::safety:: are definitely needed, as well as thick rubber gloves. (it has a Ph of 13)

There were lift gates, a power distribution board, our "thwhacker" (an arm to push the balls out), and our follower wheels.
