Minecraft Creeper - Part II and III with Assembly

This is a continuation of the Minecraft Creeper project, with the printing of the body and the clip, which joins the head and body together.

Overall the final two prints came out decent, however there was warping of the body near the legs.  The last and final "oops" moment, was while I was putting the Minecraft Creeper together, and I broke the clip, while inserting it into the head.

In hindsight, I should have examined the body and head closely and noticed there were a small "cross beam" inside each chamber, to which the clip notches fit perfect.  My biggest tip to you, the reader, is to carefully examine this as well, so your 3D printed Minecraft Creeper comes out perfectly.

Below are the time lapse videos of both the body and the clip, along with final assembly (where you can see my mistake).

Minecraft Creeper Print Series - Part I

Today I printed the Minecraft Creeper and was able to film all three parts with the GoPro Hero 4 Black.  Unfortunately due to the length of time for the Creeper's head and body, I elected to split the video up, into three parts, so the video did not become boring or monotonous.

As always thank you for watching, and if you would like to suggest a Thingiverse item to be printed, be sure to hit up the comments under the YouTube video, or message me on Twitter!

Printing the "Nonlethal" Door Stop Multitool

For the last week we have had very windy conditions, and with the windows open, we had a few doors slam shut and generally disturbing the peace.  With that in mind, I found this Thing on Thingiverse and proceeded to print it rapidly.

Using the MatterControl Touch and printing at 30% infill, my SeeMeCNC Orion Delta proceeded to print.  Overall, there were no curling or lifting of any of the "teeth" of the Thing or even the "bumps" along the top of the multi-tool.

After a few test drives and trials, the door stop multitool work like a charm.  I am in the process of printing a few more for the kitchen, office and even the bedrooms.  If you are looking for another Thing to print, I highly recommend printing this.

Work Log | 3D printing a GoPro Hero Seat Post Mount

Worklog

Last weekend I received a request from a friend to print him a seat post mount for his mountain bike, and found this Thingiverse item to print (GoPro Seat Post Mount by tonecoder).

After slicing the part, and putting it through the SeeMeCNC Orion Delta, the part came very well, with some rough spots of stringing along the hinge of the mount.

Pictures from the print (after 20 minutes of sanding and removing brims):

Work Log | 3D printing a GoPro Hero Chest Plate

Worklog

Earlier this week I printed out a couple of the GoPro Chest Plate, courtesy of Maxxi from Thingiverse.  Overall the SeeMeCNC Orion Delta printer printed this part very well, at 80% solid, with no defects.  The only remaining items left for this part, is to install straps for the chest harness, and to add a camera mount for the GoPro Hero 4 Black.

Pictures of the print post processing:

With some sanding and filing I can clean the edges even more.
