Makerbot Thingiverse and Rapman Home 3d Printers

An exiting revolution is happening in the wonderful world of 3D Printing. Replicators are popping up all over the online community and hobbyists and 3d printing enthusiasts are now beginning to print useful things.

This is an extremely important step in the world of consumerism, where no longer will we need to go to the local hardware shop to purchase a crevice tool for our Dyson because the dog accidentally thought it was a bone!

Yes, now we can 3d print our own and use it straight away.

Think of the endless possibilities of products that these rapid prototyping machines could make. No more products on shelves gathering dust. Just 3D Printing on demand.

Who is going to store all the raw materials?
Where is China going to fit in to all this?

All will be revealed in the next 10 years!

Games workshop warhammer

Just passed the Games Workshop in town and popped in for a look. Got into a cool painting demo from the nice and kind shop owner Stuart. Saw how cool some of the models were and decided to get my a*** in gear to offer custom bespoke characters to any scale:

This new service would also be useful for those making dioramas but especially cool for RPG role playing gamers to have a piece that is special to them rather that an 'off-the-shelf' orc or elf designed by A.N.Other.

Will be posting a price plan soon using the Mecha Warrior Space Pirate as a case study.

The Dentist Is Alive........

Big thank you to Scott Andrews of www.lightbeam3d.com
He 3d printed Wayne Robson's The Dentist for a really cool price.

It was made on his Perfactory machine with the mini-multi lens with an resin called Nanocure.
I'm sure you will agree that the resolution is the highest that can be achieved on any 3d printer in todays market.

I intend to use this as a master model to make a mould from so anyone wishing to purchase a casting then please get in touch magicmodel@hotmail.co.uk

What Camera?

Just went to look for a camera to take some nice new photos of figures for magicmodel website and low and behold the wife has thrown it in the bin!@!@£$:-(

It was a nice Nicon coolpix passed down from my father-in-law. The battery cover was knackered but I could still get a crackin photo using mains power.

The next step was to try and find the secondary camera, the panasonic lumix.......guess what it has mysteriously dissapeared.

That left my iphone or the sony camcorder.

Any way decided to try some test shots with the iphone to see if the macro was good enough......what macro indeed.

On another note I heard some bad electric cracklin noise where my 4 way adapter for the pc plugs into the wall. Decided to swap the old for the new, see photos below (taken with iphone)

No fizzy crackilin now yippe, no danger of pc accidental power failure caused by some old nineteen fifties electric socket. I'm off to listen to the Craig Charles funk and soul show.

Darth Wayne on board

This is the first opportunity for the public to have their very own Wayne Robson 3D Print.

Check out his web site at www.dashdotslash.net

It is a collectors piece and should be handled with care.

Please stay posted for more details.

Web site update

Hi there all, just getting some new ideas for a new website called Poserprint.

First we must get magicmodel to get more customers.

Also moving into google sketchup with a website called sketchup3dprint

All new ventures are aimed at helping students and professionals achieve a real 3d model from a cad file.
