Here’s the video archive of the Saturday AM Make:Live panel that I moderated on the topic of 3D Design Practice, featuring impressive grouping of some of my favorite 3D desktop printing superstar designers:
This panel brings together talented designers Todd Blatt, Kacie Hultgren, Tony Buser, Matt Stultz and Fred Kahl – all featured in Matthew Griffin’s upcoming book “Design and Modeling for 3D Printing.” Each will share about their design practice — how they got started, how they develop their work, what new tools and techniques they are picking up — as well as opportunities to learn more about their design work elsewhere at this year’s Faire. Moderator Griffin will also share leads for other breaking 3D-related design and printing technology attendees can check out.
Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
The Adafruit Learning System has dozens of great tools to get you well on your way to creating incredible works of engineering, interactive art, and design with your 3D printer! If you’ve made a cool project that combines 3D printing and electronics, be sure to let us know, and we’ll feature it here!
