OSAT Project Water Catcher: This tool is designed so that it can be 3D printed in areas where catching clean rainwater is a necessary form of obtaining water. The tool is a 45 degree cone that allows for the greatest amount of rain water caught when 3D printing. It contains three cylinders which can be used to prop up the tool with sticks or pvc pipes. These pipes or sticks will also be used to drape a tarp over the tool, creating a water catcher. Finally, there are various ends to the tool which allow for different size tubes to funnel the water to gardens, buckets, or any other water holding device. This tool will save money and provide clean rainwater that is not coming off of a roof. Here is the STL file, so anyone can print this tool:File:OSAT Water Catcher.stlA propeller I created in FreeCAD and cut in Cura. Filament: TPA
I am a student participating in the ENGR242: 3-D Printing Technology course at Principia College. I am interested in very interested in learning more about the Open Source Movement because I think it has the potential to be a larger part of the business world, and this movement can benefit many people in addition to being allowing for creativity and profitability. For our class, we created our own Jellybox printers, and I thought it was fascinating how everything about this Printer was open source. I was able to understand how this product could be profitable for those who originally designed it and how it could be improved by anyone through open source hardware and software. I am a business major, and I want to keep the open source movement in my mind as I learn more about business to see if there is potential for me to work with open source products or licenses in my future career.
This is a Anemometer I designed for our science and education project. I programmed it in FreeCAD, cut it in Cura, and used PLA filament.
This is a snowman I programed in Blender and cut in Cura. Filament: TPAA penny trap that I programmed in Open SCAD. Cut in Cura. Filament: PLAThis is my first fun print. The print CAD file was already saved on an existing SD card, so I did not cut this print. It is a fun evil duck that I printed with TPA filament.
