FROM DIY TO A 3D-PRINTED TOY
Hey, guys!
I wanna share with you my new idea connected with our 3d-printing activity.
The idea is in transforming kids' DIY into real plastic toys made with 3d-printer.
We used a 3d-scanner to for making a digital version of my son's modelling clay DIY.
Then we just took necessary filament and printed a new toy!
What's the sense?
Kids like to play with their DIY-toys but paper or modelling clay toys can't live long especially if kids take them outside for walks.
Moreover, childhood passes very fast, and all Moms would like to save some moments of it and some things of this period.
Plastic toys made on the basis of real kid's DIY are a good way to keep memories and a piece of childhood.
What do you think of it?
I like the idea! Don't know if it is popular, but I'm glad I can save my son's DIY;)
I really like the means by which the toy was made, even more than the personable, approachable figure made by the child. 3D scanners that can copy the form of what is scanned are poised to revolutionize 3D printing, because the process of meticulously coding into a computer the specific coordinates that produce printable files is difficult, confusing, and very time consuming. Also, your 3D printer obviously has either multiple toolheads that work together, or a single toolhead that can print different colored filaments. That's also a great advance in production facility available to owners of 3D printers.
The Bambu Labs product line introduced that last innovation, and it dramatically improves the types and kinds of things that can be manfactured by individuals at home. 3D scanners remain quite expensive last I checked, and this expense is an impediment to owners of 3D printers, that I hope quickly fall and enable more people to take advantage of the far greater simplicity of producing 3D printed objects.
It's also almost the only way to capture such quirky and humorous figures as you have shown here.
Thanks!
thanks for your interest!
no, our printer doesn't have multiple toolheads. Before printing we "cut" the item into parts and print them all separately in different colours. it's longer, more complicated but what else we have to do if we have no colourful printer;)
we wanted to buy it, but a good one costs rather much, and cheaper models use too much filament for printing (much more than it's necessary for an item), it's their great disadvantage, moreover, they print very slowly. Waste of time, material and money;)
Yes, I have seen that the first multifilament printers purge more filament than they actually print in some cases. There are ways to eliminate the waste, but perhaps those designs haven't been commercially produced. I neglected that it is possible to make separate parts from different colors that can be snapped together, or glued together. Most people don't bother with multicolor prints. You demonstrate how much better multicolor prints are.
