3D Printing

FabLab London

Today I had the opportunity to make the trip to Cannon street to visit FabLab London, to learn about 3D printing. So after a tour of the 3D and lazer printers. We then went online to thingiverse and looked for ideas around what we could make quickly (as this was a very quick visit) .

Then using Cura we edited our products and saved them onto an SD Card.

Using a 3D printer, we added the colour that we wanted, inserted the SD card into the machine and 12 minutes later (plus a  few minutes to cool our creations) where ready to go.

It was interesting to meet a number of London bloggers, who also introduced to me paper art and modelling, which I may have to add to my project list.

One of the students was making his own Clarinet, which might take awhile.

Additionally finding out out about this recycle project going on in London.
