Grasshopper is a plugin for a 3D modeling program called Rhino. Architects use it to design buildings and cool patterns. It took over a year of work, but I was able to design some 3d printed shoes for my wife.
Grasshopper is different from Blender/Maya/3DMax in that it uses a NURBs based modeler, instead of mesh. It's different from Solidworks/Fusion360/Catia/Onshape in that it's easier to make more complex shapes. Closest 3D analogue is probably Houdini.
***This looks easy because I have may hours of experience in Solidworks. If you're starting out your 3D journey completely from scratch, you'll have a much steeper learning curve.***
If you'd like to learn to 3d model using Grasshopper or Rhino a 90 day free trial is available.

15 hour 3D Pen Robot... in 9 minutes
zhlédnutí 123KPřed 3 lety
A deeper dive into one of my final 3d pen projects. I sketched this "giant*" robot in 2D and then spent about 15 hours making it with a 3d pen. The video moves pretty fast, but hopefully you can see the techniques and strategies if you'd like to make your own. *Robot is not actually giant, is actually about 8 inches tall.

How to make a Unicorn 🦄 🌈 with a 3D Pen - Detailed timelapse with commentary.
zhlédnutí 58KPřed 4 lety
A deeper dive into one of the projects I worked on while learning to use a 3D pen. Every once in a while I make something really cute, even if it's not what I planned on doing when I started. This timelapse explains how even a beginner can complete a project like this. You should be able to follow it step-by-step if you pause.
I spent 51 hours learning to use a 3D pen. Progress from beginner to 3D pen robot!

3D Pens have been around since 2013. I've always wanted to learn to use a 3D-Pen, but kept putting it off. A few weeks ago, I decided to buy one and give it a go! I started with some simple projects, (which were rough) and ended up with a robot I was proud of. Warning, if you watched this video and thought: "That looks easy, I"m gonna buy to buy a 3d pen and make some awesome stuff, how hard ca...
Learn to Draw Cars - I Drew 101 Cars Over 16 months (Progression)
zhlédnutí 120KPřed 5 lety
More than a year ago, I decided to improve my sketching skills (and start a CZcams channel), so I set a goal to draw 101 cars. It took a lot longer than I expected, but I drew them all! I recognize that my starting sketch is already more advanced than most sketchers, but thought you might enjoy seeing the progression that comes with (semi)consistent practice! Do you want to learn? If you're try...

    I liked the 3D pen, but I found 3D modeling and using a 3D printer not only faster, but I was able to print really complex designs, good for mechanical stuff or 3D models

    Can you use regular PLA filament? Can you melt down a single color from a 3d object that you made but don't like and use a hot rolling pin or something to recycle some filament?

    My 10yo son got a 3d printer pen for Christmas. It’s called Mynt3D Super. Theres a pro one that lets you change the temp easier but I guess Santa couldn’t afford that one lol It was intimidating for him so I played around with it instead. I made him a pixelated Minecraft sword. He picked the colors and I brought it to life. He was like “WOW mom! That looks amazing” 😊 Made my day but I have a lot to learn for sure! The pen also came with a silicone mat with a bunch of shapes and lines and also a plastic “screen” mat thing so you can trace something without catching things on fire and making the plastic easy to remove from the surface. So I printed out a picture of a Minecraft sword, put the plastic screen on top of the paper and basically traced it with the 3Dprinter pen. Turned out quite nice for my first time. This pen opened up a whole world for both my son and I. Thank you for sharing your journey.

    • @BuildaSkill
      @BuildaSkill Před 4 měsíci

      I made a mistake in the video. New research shows that the horn actually does contain magic, it's just hard for scientists to see with their regular microscopes. Once the scientists switched to magical microscopes they were easily able to see the unicorn horn magic. My apologies for any confusion this may have caused.

    An idea, using a "hot bed" to make better flat shapes? You need to incorporate other shaping methods.

    I started w/ one of these a friend gave me (b/c he picked it up thinking it was neat, but did not have the art skill to really unleash it --- but I work w/ all types of mediums) So I began the same way you did.. but ultimately learned earlier on that I could smooth my creations w/ a cheap woodburner (worth having some type of fan/ventilation for this). I started a couple Marvel characters like Spiderman and Venom, but I have not picked them up in a few months b/c of other things coming up. This is something I think I will return to soon. I have some great basic shapes (and the long lengths of PLA worked much better for me too). Glad to see others enjoying this tech. It's different, and certainly fun to mess w/.
