Since getting my ShopBot I have been learning about 3D stuff and that is not an easy task. Most of the terms are very different from everyday word usage. I come from a digital world, IE data processing digital and even owned a software company for a while specializing in graphics. Where I am now as a hobbyist is a far cry from when this blog started (and then got neglected). I have added to my arsenal of toys to aid in my affliction. I have a MakerBot Replicator 2 3D printer, a Makerbot Digitizer (not used it yet), and a FS40W laser. I spent the last few months learning all of this stuff and coming up with ways to get all of these critters to work together. For software I use Vectric software Aspire and Cubify Invent. The file exchange for 3D is using the .STL file extension and so far has got me going pretty good. Anyhow enough rambling here's some pix to add to the mix. Thanks for listening. Russ
Some o scale machine shop tools for the roundhouse. The man is 1 1/2 inches tall.
Here's a multipart window made with the ShopBot and sintra plastic.
Size is 4 1/2 inches by 9 1/2 inches high.
Here's some really small 3D printed parts (and they are hollow!).
