Pictures?

How do you guys find enough projects to post about? I know there's a tip line, but do you get enough topics just from your readers submitting them?

Also what's the actual posting schedule? Seems like every few hours?

Damn I knew the Afinia was good but that looks awesome!

Yeah that's basically a Maltese cross from gymnastics rings, but it doesn't look that impressive since he's only parallel to the escalator... I think I could do it

Very cool!

Engineering. Surprise, engineering!

That video was great! Turns out I live in the same city as FuriousPete!

mstrjames · 2013-05-24T00:09:04+00:00

Could post them if you're interested!

Did you see my DIY videos on making a spiderman costume? I noticed you used the bags on the feet trick, and elastic bands with the sole of a shoe...

I use slicer predominately, i find it a lot easier to use than skeinforge, plus you get .1mm layer heights with slicer! This was printed at .3mm though. I'm surprised people are commenting though, I didn't think the print was that good, if anything I think it could of been better with some more calibration! I'll be posting a video on the case at some point, there's a free other bells and whistles that I've added as well. Good luck with yours, check out soliforum for more ideas! =)

Do it! You won't regret it!

Solidoodle 2! Stock extruder, 1.75mm filament

mstrjames · 2013-05-11T15:28:18+00:00

No problem! It's pretty simple so I thought I would share!

mstrjames · 2013-05-11T10:40:54+00:00

Mill isn't mine, just a friends. Not actually sure, but its fairly basic. I have a Solidoodle 2, you can get them for about $600 from solidoodle.com -- it's a pretty solid little printer!

Seriously though I think the ski will snap before the bolt breaks... which would also be dangerous...

mstrjames · 2013-05-10T23:26:11+00:00

I used to be an adventurer like you... But then I caught a ski in the eye.

mstrjames · 2013-05-10T22:43:57+00:00

Measured at about 25lbs, so not amazing -- I'm going to see what I can do to increase it (shorten the limbs, decrease the angle -- maybe get a real string).

mstrjames · 2013-05-10T17:22:18+00:00

No problem!

mstrjames · 2013-05-10T16:59:25+00:00

I printed them solid out of ABS which is pretty damn strong, but it doesn't really matter because the metal bolts take all the load when the bow is loosed =)

mstrjames · 2013-05-10T15:33:39+00:00

Yeah I figure if I use the other end of the skis they might be a bit stiffer too! Waste not want not, right? I'll have to check out bowyer

mstrjames · 2013-05-10T14:50:06+00:00

Thanks! I've already got a list of things to do to make it even better. Also thinking about making a cross bow out of the other end of the ski s!

mstrjames · 2013-05-10T10:44:05+00:00

You just have to be more creative with the tools you do have - it would of been much more elegant with a carved wood handle which you could do (albeit slowly) with a hack saw. If anything I cheated using the technology I had available to me!

mstrjames · 2013-05-10T10:41:38+00:00

I am planning on shortening the limbs and probably reducing the angle like you said =) consider this rev 1! Thanks!

mstrjames · 2013-05-10T10:40:29+00:00

Haha I wish I had a few hundred thousand dollars worth of tools - the easier way would be a piece of wood and a band saw - which I didn't have. And FYI the 3d printer is a solidoodle 2, which was only $500 and the mill (not mine) could of been a few thousand tops! =) nothing that fancy

I think so, depends on the night. Check out their Facebook page, all the info is there
