A while back we started with printing Venus de Milo. It’s available on Thingiverse thanks to the amazing work by Cosmo Wenman, you can get the files here and read some more about his project.

Barnacules 3dprinting Darth Vader
Take a look at Jerry Berg a.k.a. Barnacules have a go at 3d printing the Darth Vader Lego like action figurine. Powered by colorFabb standard black using the fabulous Ultimaker 2, this seems like a match made in heaven.

BaliBoy – part 2
Scanning BaliBoy was good fun and easy enough. Just make sure to take time setting up your scanning equipment and make sure there’s enough room to walk around the object while scanning. Once the BaliBoy was scanned I was eager to get it printing on the Makerbot. Using our woodFill profiles for Makerbot Makerware our first copy of BaliBoy (10cm tall) was done in about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Generating 3d models is quite time consuming and requires in some cases expert knowledge of specific 3d modeling software. It’s definitely fun to learn about the various types of 3d modeling software, but you could also get into 3d scanning.
RapidPro 2014
Last week colorFabb was present at the RapidPro 2014 in Veldhoven, the Netherlands. We had a great time talking to lots of 3d print enthusiast. Even though woodFill is around for a while now we still got many surprised reactions from people seeing a Makerbot Replicator create actual wooden parts.
