How to Get Real-World Shapes (especially weird ones) Into the Computer for 3D Printing

Many 3D printers end up used mostly to create knick-knacks, though we justified buying the machine with all the useful stuff we could make! One of the reasons for this is that Baby Yoda’s dimensions aren’t exactly critical to it’s purpose, but the broken knob you wanted to replace has a weirdly shaped fitting that won’t work unless it’s just right, and how do you measure that? Then how do you design something to fit it?

There are a few methods! What follows is my low-cost, low-math method for replicating weird shapes for 3D printing.

You’ll need: the part you want to work with, paper large enough to cover it, a pencil, a ruler (the finer the measurement, the better), your 3D design software of choice, and your slicer.

For my example, I needed to make porthole trim rings with a lip. My boat had 10 portlights with beautiful cast bronze trim rings on the hull, but on the stern it had four strangely shaped holes cut roughly, exposing the edge of the plywood.

I taped paper over the portholes, and traced the outline from the inside. If you’re working with a small piece or can’t get inside the thing for whatever reason, take a rubbing by rubbing the side of a pencil lead or a crayon on the paper where the edges of the object are. The edges should come out clearly enough to take measurements from. Then, draw a grid on your tracing or rubbing.

The more curved your piece is, the more reference lines you’ll want in your grid. This piece had a nice right angle with two flat sides to reference, but if yours doesn’t, just extend the lowest and leftmost parts of your piece so they meet at a right angle, and build your grid from there.

This is how I gather measurements to input into a 3D design program- how you input them will depend somewhat on your program of choice, and I’ll save an in-depth description of that for a later post. Here’s how the rest of this project went, though.

I created a rectangle in Blender, then used the slice tool to create vertices at each of my measured distances from the y axis (Fusion 360 is more optimized for dimensional design, but Blender can do it and is open source). In Blender, you can make a slice and then input the exact measurement for its placement. Then I did the same from the x axis. That placed vertices at the measured points along the curve of my object. Deleting faces from the rectangle and joining vertices into new faces “carved” the basic shape from my rectangle, and then I mostly used the extrude tool to get my final shape.

Turn on mirroring to save yourself time if it applies to you, but also pay attention to when to turn it off! For me, I created the object, but turned off mirroring to emboss the words I wanted into the design. Your slicer can be a good tool for checking whether your design is “manifold.” Usually it’ll highlight the areas that aren’t, and show an error. Sometimes you can print even if it isn’t manifold, but it’s best practice to fix it, because it can affect printing in unpredictable ways.

I printed a prototype in cheap, recycled PTEG.

Then in bronze filled filament from Protopasta!

https://www.proto-pasta.com/collections/all/products/bronze-metal-composite-htpla?variant=7154346098733

This filament has so much bronze in it that it will patina like bronze, and can even be polished. It isn’t cheap, but this was much more doable for me than casting from real bronze, and having all four portlight rings custom cast would have been over a thousand dollars.

Convenient Chocolate Packaging Machines That Can Help Your Small Chocolate Business Show off its Brand’s Personality

It would have been very easy to produce chocolates in bulk and just wrap them in a foil and sell them to the consumers. However, things have changed so much in the past few decades, and good packaging and branding of your most precious chocolate bars, in this competitive world of sweet treats, is absolutely essential.

Your Packaging Shows Off Your Brand’s Personality

Like it or not, good packaging speaks on behalf of your brand, especially when it comes to chocolates that many people love to eat. Only professional packaging, which can be achieved by using expertly designed chocolate packaging machines and manufactured by reliable chocolate packaging machine manufacturers, can work to pull your customer’s attentions towards your brand.

So, let’s start from the basics first!

When you initially think of packaging, you certainly have to make use of some materials like a metallic sheet roll or a paper roll that can be cut to match each chocolate’s size, shape and packaging.

As we all know, this is not manually possible in small factories where thousands of chocolates are produced every day.

To make this process easier, you can look at investing in a chocolate wrapping paper slicer, like SC-L30 from Ammar machinery, that is precise in cutting your big packaging material rolls into smaller ones using a customized ruler. Furthermore, this amazing machine works at a great speed and can give you packaging sheet at 30m/minute.

On the other hand, if you want a chocolate paper cutter that can cut packaging papers of different types like aluminum, padded paper, cellophane, etc., to suit your chocolates. The CT-P120 machine works like a wonder. It also has a servo motor and PLC that adjusts the packaging sheet by elongating, shortening or lengthening it to fit your packaging requirements and it even counts the paper it has cut.

Next Begins The Main Business

Once you have the sliced rolls and cut sheets ready for packaging, the main business of packaging begins. Especially if you have to hand pack large bars of chocolates, that need double wrapping, you know how tiring and lengthy the process can be.

However, with a chocolate packaging machine like W-CH200BSB, you can achieve a speed of packaging almost 60pieces of large chocolate bars per minute and change molds easily while congratulating yourself for investing on a machine that is easy to clean and maintain.

Hence chocolate packaging machine manufacturers like Ammar machinery understand the exact needs of small chocolate factories when it comes to packaging their chocolates.

You can without a doubt rely on a company like Ammar machinery that has more than 25 years of experience in chocolate packaging machine manufacturing, and you can get expert advice by just contacting one of our company staff immediately.

So, leave all your packaging worries to chocolate packaging machines and let people start recognizing your brand.

Week 10 - Measurements and Model Making

Tutorial

This week we were taught how to measure our chosen product and had to construct the profile and contour lines. There were multiple tools such as skewers, calliper and profile gauge to measure out the contour of the object. I found the profile gauge to be the most useful for the contours and irregular faces.

Prac

During the practical lesson we were divided into different groups to learn about the tools we could use in order to complete this task. I found this very helpful as the tutors were very informative on how the tools worked and what they were used for.

Method

I used fusion 360, which i learned from high school when doing Design and technology, to create my object in 3D. As my object was a metal kettle, which meant it had a lot of curved surfaces. Knowing that i couldn’t just use regular ruler to measure the diameter, i used string to measure around the kettle. While doing this i measure diameter every 1cm. After inputing the measurements onto the fusion 360 and creating my object, i used an application called Slicer in order to split my object into individual sliced pieces. This allowed me to see all the different shapes and slits that were needed in order to create my 3D object. The total pieces i had to cut was 42 pieces and was printed on an A3 paper with 1:1 scale. I placed the printed shapes on a 3mm foam-core, cutting the foam-core following the print. When all cut, i joined each pieces together, weak or flimsy pieces glued together to hold it together.

(Above Picture - my chosen object on Fusion 360)

(Above Picture - my kettle imported from Fusion 360)

(Above Picture - my 2D pieces)

Outcome

What did i enjoy and dislike? Why?

I enjoyed using the Fusion 360 to create my object in 3D form. I disliked the measuring the contour of the kettle as it took a long time and effort.

What went well/ what difficulties did i face? Why?

Creating my object on Fusion360 went well as i had some knowledge on the software, however i did face difficulty when measuring the tip of the kettle which was curvy.

What did i learn?

I learned how to export things onto slicer, which will create 2D shapes that will form into a 3D shape. I also learned how to measure contours and curvy shapes.

What do i need to improve on?

I need to improve on learning how to finish my product more neatly and aesthetically pleasing. My object had little glue stains and accidental cuts that were quiet visible, downgrading the objects aesthetics.

12.01 | Project construction

Tools that I used? A paper cutter/slicer, cutting knife, rulers, scissors and a hot glue gun.

I printed the pieces at Dinkums as I had various loose pages inside the small zine. I printed it onto two different paper/cards as the A2 paper didn’t have many options than the smaller sizes. The A2 paper and printing quality was also lower. The main long card piece has a matte surface and the loose photos and cards had a silky surface.

I first cut the long piece of card - I used my old ruler because the card was tough to cut into. And then I folded it accordingly into 6. However the folds were uneven! The double sided pages didn’t align well!

I was doing this at night, while also watching the livestream of the Royal wedding on my phone. Which I probably shouldn’t have done, as I made many errors while cutting the pieces of cards, especially in the insert page! I folded the extra page with the photo of Alessa that would fold out of the first page and pasted it with the long piece of card.

For the front and back covers, I used a scrap piece of cardboard that was lying around my room and wrapped it in fabric and stuck it together with hot glue. I was planning on printing one of Alessa’s patterns onto fabric. However while researching on how or where to do it, they required a minimum of metres, and it was also very expensive! I only needed 1 metre or less for this one project. So I just went to Spotlight and Lincraft to look for a printed floral pattern that was similar to Alessa’s work and matched the aesthetic of the zine.

I attached the covers to the long card with hot glue and lastly printed the title/label onto craft paper that would hold the fold out/accordian zine together.

Here’s a Halloween recipe everyone loves. Candy corn.

Here are the ingredients.

4 1/2 ounces confectioners' sugar

1/2 ounce nonfat dry milk

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

3 1/2 ounces granulated sugar

3 3/4 ounces light corn syrup

2 1/2 tablespoons water

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 or 3 drops each yellow and orange gel paste food coloring

Here are the instructions

Combine the confectioners' sugar, dry milk and salt in a food processor. Pulse 4 or 5 times, until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Set aside.

Combine the granulated sugar, corn syrup and water in a 2-quart pot. Place over medium heat, cover and cook for 4 minutes. Add the butter, clip on a candy thermometer and bring the sugar syrup to 240 degrees F. Kill the heat and remove the thermometer.

Add the vanilla and the dry mixture and stir continuously with a silicone spatula until well combined. Pour onto a half sheet pan lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Cool for 10 to 15 minutes, until the mixture is cool enough to handle.

Divide the dough into 3 equal pieces. Add 2 or 3 drops of yellow food coloring to one piece and knead until the color is consistent throughout. Add 2 or 3 drops of orange to the second piece and knead until the color is consistent throughout. Leave the third piece white.

Roll each piece of dough into a strand about 18 inches long. Cut each strand in half and roll each piece into a strand that is about 1/2 inch thick and 22 inches long.

Lay the strands side by side (yellow, orange, then white) and press them together using your fingers. Cut into 4-inch pieces. Then, using a ruler or bench scraper, press each log into a long wedge, keeping the yellow section wide and making the white part come to a tip. (This color arrangement is classic but if you want to rebel, change up the combo.)

Use a wire butter slicer, thin knife, or pizza cutter to cut each wedge into individual candies. Lay the candies on a piece of parchment until dry, at least 1 hour.

Now you take your candy corn to the bin and dump it in because that shit’s nasty.
