Lesson 5

3D Scanning: Ohad gave me a mission before 2 weeks to make the PrimeSense sensor into a 3D scanner. I done it with a program called Skanect, wich is free.
Some screenshots:
My head after scaning:

3D Printing: I didn't have success with 3D printing. There was a problem with my model, so I couldn't make it.
[UPDATE] 3D printing: I have printed the joint I've designed for my final project
[UPDTAE] Some pictures:
The 2D design in 123D Design:
The whole finger (with joints) after opening in Illustrator:
I have used a burlap string for connecting the joint pieces:
How To Get G-Code For Something3D (the 3D printer in FabLabIL):
First, download Ultimaker Cura from Ultimaker site:
Then, choose "Other" from the list in the splashscreen:
Choose "Custom":
Fill the machine settings like in the picture (the Nozzle Size should be 0.35, not 0.3):
Again, fill the text boxes like in the picture:
Almost done! fill (again) the text boxes like in the picture (Initial Layer Thickness should be 0.2, not 0.3):
Thats it! You can load your STL file by clicking on this icon:

This one will let you export your mesh into an G-Code file by clicking it:

These lines will tell you how much time the printing will take (approximately), how much material it'll take (approximately) and how much it'll weight (approximately):
Software I used:
Rhino3D
SketchUp
SolidWorks
Autodesk 123D Design
Autodesk Shapeshifter
Adobe Illustrator (for 2D designing my joint)
