Well unfortunately the one idea I've actually had would require about a dozen servomotors, and servomotors are EXPENSIVE.
Also I haven't actually used my 3D printer for anything yet.
But yeah, no, modeling a long, narrow object with any arbitrary surface texture, printing it on a 3D printer, then coating it with latex or silicone? Super easy.
I have a 3D printer, a supply of silicone and latex modeling compound, and a BS in Computer Engineering.
ReplyDeleteI don't need a book.
And now I'm going to be fielding numerous requests for your phone number....

My friends and I made a pair of boobs once. http://candycoatedbacon.wordpress.com/2013/10/01/dayone/
ReplyDeleteNo idea where the missing one went. Also, the latex was a bad idea on that one. Boobs are not supposed to look like elephants' knees.
Volfram, I simply adore you. You never fail to make me smile. :-)
ReplyDeleteWait... is one of those pictures a melon with a hole cut in it?
ReplyDeleteI have read advice on that. The advice I read was "Don't do it. It hurts."
Banned. Again. For good this time. I mean it.
ReplyDeletewc, honey, this is MY blog. You can't ban me from my own blog. Sorry, love.
ReplyDeleteI'll tell Poppy then. I got his address, ya know.
ReplyDeleteYou. Wouldn't. Dare.
ReplyDeleteIs his number listed? Never mind, doesn't matter.
ReplyDeleteOkay, NOW I'm worried.
