My son asked for a snowman toy for Christmas. Do you want to print a snowman?
Speaking of ice, this was another neat Christmas present. The lever that tells the ice maker to stop making ice broke on my brother's freezer. Broken one shown on the right. I was pretty proud of this one simply because it took less than hour and a half to model it and get it printed. That's a new record, plus it is beefed up from the other one so it should last.
Co-worker wanted a vertical monitor, but the stand on his monitor didn't rotate. Fixed it with a printed VESA plate adapter. Cubicle hook was stolen from someone else, but I adjusted it to fit our cubicle walls along with making it a little stronger.
The other thing my son wanted was a fidget spinner. He's seen me print a bunch and wanted his own. I can get a little more creative now that I have the multi-material upgrade. It allows me to print up to 4 colors or materials at once. He got the Superman one, but I made a few more for my aunt who works with troubled kids. Knock the fidget spinner craze all you want, but these are still neat prints.
My dad is a retired firefighter. His golf cart is decked out to look like a firetruck. I made him a keychain (golf ball on the maltese cross). What is neat about this one is I modeled out a spot for the keyring. When it got to the appropriate height, I paused the print and laid the keyring down in the cutout. Then I resumed the print and it printed right over it. It worked out much better than just adding a dinky loop on the top and I think it gives the print overall a better look.
Oh yeah, Brady had a chance to play a NES classic prior to Christmas. You can't buy them anymore, so I made one.
A Raspberry Pi 3 board sits in there with a RetroPie image. It allows you to play not only the NES games, but Super Nintendo, Atari, Nintendo 64, Sega, etc. I've got 1100 NES games loaded on there so far.
My cousin was interested in how a 3D printer worked. He's young, but picked out this model to put over the light switch in his room. The Mad Scientist Switch
Needless to say, the printer was busy during December.
