Circadian Contraption
Circadian Contraptions Day 184
Today’s another day of printing and fine-tuning. I’ve rearranged the nozzle a bit so there’s more space between the heat-block and the radiator block, cleaned out the installation, got the new print-bed sticker and auto-leveler installed and found a way to still properly tighten the tiny screw in the heat-block that was giving me trouble … Continue reading

In last months curiosity box I received gellballs. Tiny little balls of about 1 to 2 mm, that you drop in water and they grow till 300 times their size (which is slightly larger than a marble) if you take all three dimensions into account. They look awesome, so I took a picture, and enhanced … Continue reading

Mixed reality is always fun. So in the spirit of Roger Rabbit, I’ve decided to let Courage loose on Ypenburg. I’m betting he’s waiting on Muriel to come pick him up.

I felt like drawing pen and paper style again. So I picked a cartoon that I’ve loved since the show began ages ago. A tiny pink dog by the name of courage that despite being scared of literally everything, overcame the creepiest of challenges.

Using silk weave to paint is always a challenge. Yes, most everything you do with it looks awesome, but to get certain shapes or themes going is hard as the brush flows freely around your mouse pointer. I managed to get a nice one set up though, and used photoshop to make it pop out … Continue reading

I’m still wanting to get a proper build of that Torii that I’ve tried twice before. But by now I’ve realized its too fragile to print in one go. So I’ve cut it up, and it is printing. There’s not a complete contraption to show yet, but this should give an indication of the direction … Continue reading

Halfway! 6 months down, and 6 to go. One thing I love about photoshop is to take a picture that I like, and to just go and explore the options. Try out filters, play with the balance, just to see what looks good, what looks interesting and what looks like crap. Today’s contraption is the … Continue reading

A bit late, but i got a bit of a stomach bug or something last night and went to bed before i could finish it. There are a couple of problems with this print. I’m going to have to print it in multiple parts instead of all at once because of the support material getting … Continue reading

Unfortunately, today’s contraptions has fallen apart. Quite literally. This was my first homemade 3d model to be printed, but I misjudged the scale and the sturdiness of the support material. I did learn from this that printing straight to heated glass when using hairspray as adhesive works very well. So it wasn’t all a bust … Continue reading

I love puzzles, and I love puzzle boxes. There are some great oriental puzzle boxes, but they are hard to find, and if you find them they are too expensive (at least this has been my experience). So now i can print my, thats exactly what i did. I’ve shown as little about the puzzle … Continue reading
