Description I would like to think if a space travel was shooting his way through space…he/she may need some way to stop…and rockety/jet blasty engines are kind of boring…chucking a big metal hook onto planets is much more interesting…..

If that was indeed the case, that object might look like this….all hooky and grippy. I have been doing quite a few movie/comic book/video game related projects lately and decided to do something that came directly from my brain….hope you like it.(its 2" tall if you were wondering....appropriate size to use as a tiny grappling hook....)

If you feel the need to acquire a means to stopping yourself from hurling through the void of space, it is available in stainless steel for $45 dollars(5 bucks shipping to the US, 10 to Mexico and Canada, and 15 to the UK, Australia, NZ and Asia)

That's fun. I wonder if you could use it to anchor yourself so you wouldn't wander too far in time either...

An anchor that grabs onto the fabric of spacetime itself? Neat!

Yup.

Does this technology let you do undercuts and/or hollow interiors with holes connecting to the surface?

totally...the only limitations are the model must be fairly thick, if the walls are too thin or parts are too pointy it will fail

DonSimpson In reply to soupcan13 [2012-09-29 23:14:37 +0000 UTC]

Hmmm. I think that certain visual elements, like the bottoms of recessed areas or the joins where a layer is stacked onto another layer, are more dramatic if they are undercut. If there is a minimum thickness for the 3D printing to work properly, then one could only use this effect when the depth of a hole or recessed area, or the thickness of a stacked layer, was greater than that amount. But it seems useful to me, for things like gears that _look like_ they could turn, or parts that look like they could swivel, or just for generally more "punchy" designs.

That is amazing. Wish I could use something like it in my own pieces. You've done an amazing job.
