My rocket is full of eels

After being curious about what the Rocket3F paid version could bring me, I finally decided to buy it.

I will describe more in detail what the Pro version of Rocket3F has to offer in this post.

A rocket has landed in my house!

I recently tried Rocket3F (a sudivision modeler) and loved it right away !
As it says, it's "Fast, Fun and Friendly" to use.

In this post I will tell you a bit more about it...

KORN & MACWAY SERVO-SOUND cables

Since a few years I have a legendary KORN & MACWAY SERVO-SOUND Cybernetic preamplifier with its 2 active speakers.
But unfortunately I only own one of the 2 proprietary cables so I'm unable to listen to it (or only on 1 of the 2 speakers).
And these cables are nearly impossible to find (I've been searching a lot and never found one).

So I decided to make another one by myself...

Photogrammetry tests

I performed a lot of tests in the past with the available free or open-source photogrammetry solutions available.
And yesterday I tested the new Regard3D version so I think it's time to show you these "never published" tests.

Photogrammetry made simple

It's been a while since I wanted to write something about the photogrammetry solutions and pipelines that I've been testing.

Here is an attempt to cover this vast subject and try making it understandable and easy to follow for everyone...

Happy birthday !

My friend Cedric had his 40th birthday party yesterday.
I decided to offer him a 3D sculpture of himself when he was 30.

And here is how I did it...

Joyeux Noël !

Mon anarvatar et moi vous souhaitons un JOYEUX NOEL !

Merry Christmas and happy new year to everyone!

Весела Коледа и щастлива година на всички!

Joyeux Noël !

Pas de Noël sans cadeau.

Aussi je vous offre mon logo Spacymen en 3D, prêt pour l'impression.
Mais attention ! C'est un objet assez "délicat" à imprimer à cause des parois relativement fines et des très petites surfaces en contact avec le plateau.
Je vous ai cependant facilité la tâche en y incluant des supports (en forme d’œuf) facilement détachables.

Votre cadeau vous attend sur Thingiverse.

Et pour ceux qui peuvent se le permettre, une version déclinée en boucle d'oreille est disponible.

Всичко хубаво!

Long time... No post... New love

I know that I haven't published much these days (months... year).
Because most of the time I have nothing to say or just nothing enough exciting to share (IMHO). Or just because (and most probably) because I'm just too lazy to publish my experiments...

But then I felt in love !
And my new lover's name is Neobarok...

The art of recycling print failures

Rapid prototyping often means "trials and errors" because you usually don't end up with the exact part you need right at the first time.
It might depend on the design itself that isn't perfect and needs adjustments, or on some failures that might happen during the printing process (printer failures or material dependent failures) such as :

  • warping
  • delaminating
  • burns
  • filament sleepering or breaking
  • power cut
  • etc.

If like me you feel concerned about our planet and its pollution (and you should), you're probably keeping all your print failures somewhere, waiting for the emergence of a reliable recycling machine that could make new filament rolls out of your waste.

Or you could just use your imagination and artistic skills to produce unique 3D printing art...

Having fun with Meshmixer and Sculptris

Yesterday I had some little spare time between two projects so I decided to train myself at using Meshmixer and Sculptris.
I had no precise idea of what to do before I reminded a famous René Magritte painting from 1934 that would be a perfect subject for Meshmixer.
Along with a bit of Sculptris, I thought it should be possible to achieve a good result in a short time.

In just as little as 3 hours of time I had a new sculpture ready to be printed...

Saga Eugène / InMoov : Right hand CAD data (WIP)

I know that quiet a few people are waiting for the hand to be released as CAD data.
I received several personal mails asking me when it will be made available.
The answer is "I don't know...".

But for sure it's on its way.

Nouvelle année et robot ancien

Bonne Année à tous !

Happy New Year to everyone !

Честита нова година на всички !

Nous avons passé la soirée de réveillon chez mon pote Looping qui, lors de fouilles archéologiques, a découvert ce qui pourrait bien être l'ancêtre de Eugène et de InMoov.

L'âge du robot n'a pas encore pu être déterminé, mais les analyses de ses restes sont en cours afin d'établir une datation au carbone 14.

Saga Eugène / InMoov : Jour 117 (collage / montage)

Ce week-end Mad et Gilou sont passés à la maison et on a bossé sur le robot.

Tandis que mes deux acolytes effectuaient des test de "ramp" (gestion des accélérations / décélérations) sur les moteurs à l'aide d'un autre potentiomètre que celui extrait des moteurs, je me suis affairé à collé les différentes parties de la cage thoracique, d'un biceps et d'un avant-bras.
