Apod COVER.....italian design

Now to find 3D glasses…

You certainly have talent! Suggest making them thin-walled to make 3D printing faster or possibly use vacuum forming.

stole my sons 3D glasses. Very cool. 8)

First Phoenix and now A-Pod!

Wow, this is truly awesome! :smiley: Excellent work, you sure got talent! I like it.

Looking forward to see it on a live A-Pod.

I think we have some 3D glasses, somewhere… :unamused:

I put pictures in 3D also for to have a better idea of the shapes,during my works I use often it:-)
I 've dicided to order only Leg’s pieces for now , considering that it’s a sensible part for the movements,and all test are good!
Every part has an STL file ready to be printed,but print all parts with shapeways is much expensive,so ,as told me from C.Benson,I writed to Robotshop and I’m wait an answer…

I don’t know if you know, but putting all the parts in a big .slt is cheaper at shapeways.

yes shapeways is expensive. i do a lot of ordering from them…


alot of it is prototyping and so im always being charged lots of shipping just for very small parts. :cry:

but as eric said if you stack the parts into one STL its cheaper. the file will (if over 20cm3) be eligible for discount.

“volume and density discount on Strong & Flexible materials. For models that are greater than 10% dense (material volume divided by bounding box volume), after the first 20cm3, the remaining volume is calculated with a 50% discount.”

Yes I know,make all parts in a one big stl file is cheper then print parts one by one…also if we consider the shipment expedition.
I’m curious to know how much can cost to print it all but before to sent stl file to shapeways I’ll wait the Robotshop reply.

Oh I love this image. You have a very cool style. Like the tag also.
What are you using to render your work?

really thanx!.
I like so much Ur works also…I follow Ur projects :wink:
I use Cycles enjyne render ( in blender ) but I’m not so expert.and U?

black semi-trasparent one version

Now that, I like! :smiley:

:wink: cool.

I use a combination of tools, but yes i also use Blender. Currently on v2.66a, but i do not use the Cycles Render Engine. I Stick to the normal Render Engine for works like this. Cycles offers some really nice features but only really handy for certain renders. Its a great engine 'don’t get me wrong… i wish i used it more, but unfortunately my PC is not very well and cycles is sometimes a bit to much for it to handle.

Have those parts been Rigged or just posed?

Look forward to seeing more of your work. :wink:
…Website?

I rigged all parts,but ,as U know,it’s indispensable a powerfull pc for to move all complex parts like in this work…specially for renders.

Other works?!:-)…soon…Now I’m working on same ‘concepts design’ …
I’d like to have a website about this works but I don’t know if peple are interested to this type of products…

Im sure there will be an interest in what ever it is.

Ahah…I hope:-)…I do my best…
Putting all parts in one big file i have a volume of 391 cm"’ and an area of 6601cm’’
:frowning:

Tightly stacked?

No jonny,
For to check the entire volume I leaved all parts in a ‘rest position’ cause I was thinking that program calculates the volume and area whatever was the position of single part, isn’t it?

First you may need to think about orientation.
Setting the parts orientation is vital in making sure it doesnt show many print layers. Also its worth noting that if you stack similar parts with different orientation then they will have a slightly different finish to them.

Just set all the parts out like they would be in laying on a table. Then duplicate each part ‘but dont change orientation’ then stack them upwards.

Thanx Jonny,
I’ll follow Ur tips,for sure U have more experience about 3d printing :wink:!
Also U have good desigh skills about mechanical parts …I have to learn more

happy to help.

Both your “Phoenix and Apod” shell designs are very cool. And i would certainly buy from you if i had either or. :wink:

I have been meaning to make a shell designs for the SES but you have done wonders with it. I think ill continue to wait and see what you come up with next. :wink:

PM sent.
