You can find more information on their GitHub page as well. Model of the Propeller Head: The model of the prop's head was printed at a. Material used was a nylon filament from ABS Robotics. The time between starting and completing this project is roughly 5 hours, including uploading to GitHub and finding required files from my SketchUp files.
The time to complete this project with no prior knowledge of 3D modeling or printing is about 36 hours, as I spent most of that time learning SketchUp as well as printing techniques. You can also use a normal document scanner to scan real objects and then model them in Sketchup. Once you have downloaded and installed the software, launch it.
There are many tutorials available online to learn SketchUp, but I recommend the following video on Youtube.
SketchUp is similar to Microsoft Paint in that you use the mouse to draw shapes. However, instead of drawing lines, circles, rectangles, etc This makes it difficult for people who are not used to using this type of program. To make it easier for you, I've created a step by step tutorial for this project. If you like the video, "like" me on Youtube and subscribe to my channel.
Stratasys is an equipment manufacturer that sells products to 3D printing vendors. They offer both desktop and mobile 3D printers printers with built in cameras. Their products range in price from 30, to , dollars each. The chief product line is called MakerBot Replicator 2.
Most of the parts needed for this project are available through their website. The MakerBot Replicator 2 is a 3D printer with a built in camera and a touchscreen. A pictures worth a thousand words. Install by putting the script in your plugins directory. Instructions: -Create a group with all the geometry you wish to deform. Depending on the size of the model it could take a while seconds I hope.
At the end you should see a new group containing nothing but control points -Open the group and move the control points as you wish. Group should deform.
Again it make take seconds to minutes to finish depending on the size of the model. Make sure you close control point group before updating. Bugs and limitations: -BUG. If you start a FFD and the control points don't match the object you need to explode and regroup the object. Then try the FFD again. The script uses a few globals for speed. Dont know why. Might be a bug in Sketchup. Update: Fixed a bug. Update Feb New version: -Support for NxN deforms.
