3d Print "honeycomb borromean surface"

[yelekaw]

This would be more interesting with a small time lapse of the printing process.

[mindovermatter73]

@yelekaw oh yes. i know. that would be great, but i am only the designer and i am not working at shapeways. its to far away from my home and i think they have no time to make a video for me. i made this video only for expose the sculpture. it was not my intention to make a hollywood production.(no time)

[yelekaw]

@mindovermatter73 ah. i wish i were that creative.

[cliffwalkinfool]

In 3D printing, the object is "built" one layer or "slice" at a time. This takes place in a chamber filled with a powdered substance (and thus hidden from view).

Animating the creation of an object would be tedious and costly. I suspect (my conjecture) that the best way (and perhaps the only way) to do this would be to create hundreds of partially completed objects, each unit completed one step further than the previous. Then one would photograph them one-by-one in succession.

I fell asleep

Petty music zzzZZZ

[mindovermatter73]

@HIEM3W i m so sorry for that cruel music. but i cant change that anymore.

[pandatrueno1]

looks almost like a MORRIN (one or two R's?) surface... ⌐_⌐

[TedRobotBuilder]

Was there a support structure while it was printing? If you could show it being printed, that would be cool.

[TheCartographer89]

It's something you watch and you realize that life's about to take a major leap forward.

[mindovermatter73]

@TheCartographer89 thank you :-)

[jimmyboy3664]

it's called "borromean" because

one does not simply

understand it

[mctlumic]

Where are you print it? Or name machine pls. Thanks... It looks very well.

[mindovermatter73]

@mctlumic the company is ahpeways. klick on the link under the video.

bye

[KafshakTashtak]

I can haz that?



[mindovermatter73]

@KafshakTashtak

yes. you can. just klick on the link under the video.

it goes directly to shapewas-shop where you can order it.

have a nice evening.

[mindovermatter73]

@MakPHL i think the name was "frozen fields".

[cakeller98]

no one else watch it, the view counter is at 33,999.... op, too late.

[fleming1972]

Does this shape have one side and one edge like a Mobius strip?

[MrGOTAMA420]

i got to get me one of those printers

[PigsCanFly99]

can't get enough of that honeycomb!

[Nomoreidsleft]

Would make a nice hat.

[bcpii]

Was this created by an equation, or a 3D drawing?

[rocketpropulsion]

@bcpii You gave the most intelligent question/comment here so far. I'd like to know myself.

[CHILDRENOFBOBODOM]

you must be jesus



[mindovermatter73]

@CHILDRENOFBOBODOM

no, but something like this ;-)

[stop4stuff]

Very cool!

Do you have the model uploaded to a 3D print service anywhere?

[mindovermatter73]

@stop4stuff yes, i have a little shop at shapewas. you can find the link in my profile :-)

[frankbraker]

@IAmSureIAmTheBest no. It's based off a cube which is why there are 3 axes x,y,z, and 6 loops. A tetrahedron would only have 2 loops.

[P081833]

Material?



[mindovermatter73]

@P081833 photopolymer

[Voltius]

What is this song?!

[Treefrogbc1]

Its confusing :O But really cool

[johnnycache]

this is mindblowing what hardware did you print it on?

[goschima]

sehr schön!

[mindovermatter73]

@goschima danke dir. :-)
