This was an opportunity to test capturing software Catch and Cubify to translate images into a 3d object. In both cases I opted for using the online version.Google chroma browser is required.
I thought about capturing a very simple object or at least what I thought to be a simple object(s) or rather geomtry.
I selected 3 types of bits and named them
Bit1, Bit2, Bit3
Workflow
Autodesk 123D catch
Register as a user
1. Input the min amount of picture that the program require (6)
All three attempts have failed to produce a model.
2. Used an iPhone to capture a video for each bit
3. Used quicktime (quicktime 7 pro) to break the video into singular images Command: export| Option: Movie to image sequence.
4. Imported all images
5. Program has a limit of 80 images
6. Selected 80 images that represented most views
7. Result: No resemblance to scanned object
In speaking with Ohad it was suggest to use Cubify as it takes video as input.

1. Input video
2. Result: Not a workable file
Next Time: Use Catch and input a set of images with a homogenous background and closer view of the object.
None the less I still wanted to output a print file to the makerbot Replica so I modeled a bit in Rhino to test the prints and no luck their as well. This Thursday I will be taking it apart to check why the nozzle is not extruding and will post updates……
In testing the maker bot I have output few test files some printed well other didn’t
Object detaching of raft due to ambient temperature swing.
Model print - note the raft at edges detaching
This is what appends when things go haywire
Note the squiggle line of the raft mesh- Im uncertain what actually causes this to happen.
Calibration file to be printed on a dual extruder as they have 2 colors in them but I wanted to check aligment issues across the platform on the single extruder.
