University of New Mexico: A recipe for sustainable 3D printing. “Fiona Bell, a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Computer Science Hand and Machine Lab, recently created a sustainable recipe book for common, at-home 3D printers titled ‘Biomaterial Recipes for 3D Printing: A Cookbook of Sustainable and Extrudable Bio-Pastes.’ The book includes recipes made from orange peels, sawdust, and […]

Tom’s Hardware: All-in-one machine recycles plastic bottles into 3D printer filament — PETFusion 2.0 launches on Kickstarter. “On December 27, Creative3DP launched a Kickstarter campaign for PETFusion 2.0 — and within three hours, the device was fully funded. PETFusion 2.0 is both a PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottle recycler and a custom 3D printing filament maker, with the ability […]
Revision 2 of my base Ivy fascinator! This round I went with:
* a 28 cm diameter instead of 20 cm,
* lines that are 1 mm instead of 3 mm,
* spacing of 40 mm instead of 20 mm between the lines
The spacing and thinner lines are much closer to the effect I want for this fascinator. Unfortunately, I went a bit overboard on the diameter of the circle so I'll have to make another revision with the diameter in between the 20 cm and 28 cm attempts I've made so far.
You can see in picture two the difference in size between the 20 cm and 28 cm versions.

My 3D model of the base of Ivy's fascinator from Fire Emblem: Engage came out exactly as designed after being 3D printed. Unfortunately, after a few test pictures with the fascinator on, I've decided that I need to make some changes to the design.
For the next revision of this project, I plan on increasing the diameter of the fascinator by 5 cm, reducing the size of the lines from 3 mm to 2 mm, spacing the lines out more, and removing the filet from the grid. These changes will require a lot of fixes, but I'm hoping to print revision two tomorrow.

Fusion 360 has a steep learning curve. After 8 hours of struggling my way to success, on my third attempt to create this cosplay item, I was able to create a base model of Ivy's fascinator [headwear] from Fire Emblem: Engage.
The first major milestone of this project was creating a sketch of the fascinator in Fusion 360. I learned how to use the circle, dimension, concentric circle, offset, trim, and extend tools. The sketch was made the hard way. I did every piece one at a time instead of using batching tools because I kept making mistakes between selecting all of the edges and doing the action, which meant I had to select everything again. The finished sketch is shown in picture 1.
The second major milestone was extruding the model and fileting the top. Both extruding and fileting were new tolls to me. Again, I did this all the hard way by doing pieces only a small bit at a time, but I got there in the end and am happy with the product. The extruded model and fileting of the top is shown in picture 2.
The last major milestone was fileting the bottom of the model. The fascinator will sit directly against my face/forehead and I did not want sharp or cutting edges resting against my skin, so I fileted the edges. If there is not enough flat material on the printer bed, a lot of support material would be printed. Getting rid of support material and sanding down the model to get it smooth is not fun, so I've heard, so I only did a very small filet on the edges. The finished product is shown in picture 3.
I'm really happy with how the 3D model turned out and my 3D printer is currently printing it out. I hope it comes out as desired!

Received my first spools of 3D printer filament! I couldn't decide what colour I needed first so I got a few of my favourites.
The filament came in vacuum bags inside boxes, which I thought was weird. I figured there had to be a business reason for the vacuum bags since they'd add extra materials and manufacturing cost. Definitely had to look up the reasoning. That's when I learned that filament can absorb humidity from the air and become 'too wet'.
I know many makers store their filament on an open air rack, so moisture/dust probably isn't too much of an issue for most folks, but my (current) 3D printing space is just off of my bathroom and I like long, hot showers. I'll have to rethink my space a bit. For now, the filament will remain in the vacuum bags until they are used to print, and I'll buy an air tight box (with some desiccant) to store the spools in once they've been opened.
