3D Prints for WBOR
@wborfm, the incredible radio station at Bowdoin, stopped into the Maker Space to 3D print some gizmos to make life easier in the studio for the DJs.
Organic Supports are Much Easier to Remove than Grid Supports
PrusSlicer now has a nifty way to create “organic” supports.
They are MUCH easier to remove from the final 3D print.
“Organic supports are easily removable, do not scar the surface, and are fast and cheap to print.”
An example of a recent print in the Maker Space and how it looks with each of the methods.
How to do it: “Open the Paint-on supports Gizmo, select Automatic painting. when its done enable for “support enforcers only” then go to Print Settings\Support material\Style: and from the drop down menu select Organic. “
Polar Bears
We 3D scanned the polar bear. Now we are printing a few for some special friends of the Maker Space who will be visiting for reunion this weekend.
“The Class of 1912 presented a sculpture of the polar bear to the College in 1937. It is a life size granite statue designed by Frederic George Richard Roth. The figure stands in front of the entrance to Sargent Gymnasium, and has for many years symbolized Bowdoin College to alumni and to the public .”
