From a simple desk tidy to an elaborate castle, this step-by-step guide to 3D printing is perfect for children and beginners who want to learn how to design and print anything even if they do not own a printer. 3D Printing Projects provides an introduction to the exciting and ever-expanding world of 3D designing and printing. Learn how a 3D printer works and the different types of 3D printers on the market. Understand the basic 3D printing and designing terms, how to create and prepare files for printing, and also how to scan things to create a 3D model! You will also find out the common troubles faced while 3D printing and simple tricks to fix them. All the projects included in the book can be made using freely available online 3D modeling/CAD programs. Each project has a print time, details of filament or material needed, and a difficulty rating - from "easy" for beginners to "difficult" for those looking for a new challenge. Step-by-step instructions walk you through the 3D design process, from digital modeling and sculpting to slicing, printing, and painting so that children can make their own shark-shaped phone stand, customized lamps, and much more. The book also gives inspiration to further enhance your projects once you've mastered the basics. Join the 3D printing revolution today with DK's 3D Printing Projects book.

The EASY CoreXY M350 is a medium size 3D Printer born from the desire of making something simple to build, where only basic tools are needed but in the same time the expectation of the RepRap Makers are fully met: printing precision, rigid structure, safety, bed leveling, configurability and multi-filament printing.The 'corexy'-architecture is a very practically and cost effective solution for cartesian 3d printers and that is the reason why I've preferred this concept. The model 'M350' earned his name from the fact that all the aluminum profiles from the frame are exactly 350mm long - this simplifies already from beginning a lot of aspects concerning the building of the frame.The Book is a building manual which describes a strait forward process with easy to follow steps. There are no stories about 3d printing, the focus is set up on printing the necessary components, mechanical construction, electrical harness, wiring diagram and firmware. Everything is described using pictures from 3d and from reality, the text is in simple plain English.There were used as much as possible standard components for RepRap 3d printers - this gives the complete freedom when it comes on deciding from where to purchase the needed components. The number and dimension of the 3d-printed elements were kept at minimum in order to optimize the time and cost of printing process

Desktop or DIY 3D printers are devices you can either buy preassembled as a kit, or build from a collection of parts to design and print physical objects including replacement household parts, custom toys, and even art, science, or engineering projects. Maybe you have one, or maybe you're thinking about buying or building one. Practical 3D Printers takes you beyond how to build a 3D printer, to calibrating, customizing, and creating amazing models, including 3D printed text, a warship model, a robot platform, windup toys, and arcade-inspired alien invaders. You'll learn about the different types of personal 3D printers and how they work; from the MakerBot to the RepRap printers like the Huxley and Mendel, as well as the whiteAnt CNC featured in the Apress book Printing in Plastic. You'll discover how easy it is to find and design 3D models using web-based 3D modeling, and even how to create a 3D model from a 2D image. After learning the basics, this book will walk you through building multi-part models with a steampunk warship project, working with meshes to build your own action heroes, and creating an autonomous robot chassis. Finally, you'll find even more bonus projects to build, including wind-up walkers, faceted vases for the home, and a handful of useful upgrades to modify and improve your 3D printer.

Comprehensive, 80 pages, of technical documentation in English and German. Everything is described using clear and simple to follow steps. There is as little text possible, the focus being oriented to the graphical contend. You won't find stories about 3d printing or explanations about how a 3d printer looks like and what it is supposed to do - All that is very well covered in other publications, here the content is meant to be strictly oriented on the building, setting up and programming instructions needed in order to easily build and get it running a 3D printer with the following specifications: -CoreXY architecture-Aluminum frame 20 x 20 Nut 5-Guides from IGUS-Assembly parts from PETG (3D printed)-Frame dimensions 508 x 460 x 480 mm (L x B x H)-Total exterior dimensions: 550 x 460 x 780 mm (L x B x H)-Working volume: 220 x 220 x 240 mm (L x B x H)-The filament spool is inside-Print Bed automatic alignment-Permanent printing surface: 220 x 220 x 6 mm-Motherboard: Rumba Board-Titan Extruder with 0.4 mm nozzle-Heat bed: max. 130 ° C-Extrusion temperature: max. 300 ° C-Power supply: 230V / 24V 400W-Interface: USB or SD-Card-Precision in XY: 0.1 mm-Resolution: 0.05-0.3 mm-Firmware: Marlin> I M P O R T A N T

The final project will help you master the techniques of designing simple to complex puzzles models for 3D printing. Through the course of the book, we'll explore various robust sculpting methods supported by Blender to create objects. You'll move, rotate, and scale the object, and manipulate the view. You'll edit objects with actions such as bends or curves, similar to drawing or building up a clay structure of different shapes and sizes. By the end of the book, you will have gained thorough practical hands-on experience to be able to create a real-world 3D printable object of your choice. Style and approach This is a hands-on guide to the world of 3D printing. With the help of simple to complex projects, you'll learn various techniques to design 3D printable objects using Blender.
