I did some revisions to the 3d printed keychain, which I previously used to make the video with the hammer.
Received the new 3d print in the mail last week, and put it on the ring with my keys. At the time of writing this, it's still intact, with only some minor scratches that you'd normally have on any plastic keychain.
You can order one over at Shapeways for yourself, with picture and inscription of choice, doesn't cost much and shipping is included.

This is the final maquette for the fictional spaceship for this school assignment.

Ik ben verdergegaan met het eenvoudig en
stevig speelgoed tafeltje dat op z'n zijkant ook als kastje kan dienen. Een
aantal variaties gemaakt, er ook iets van assymetrie ingebracht.
Van hieruit nog wat verder uitgewerkt voor iets steviger in elkaar te blijven zitten.

Sometimes nature isn't as nice to is as we'd want it to be. Last week, due to unusual amounts of heavy rain, a large number of rivers and canals in Belgium went over capacity, resulting in water flowing onto the streets, into buildings, putting entire towns and fields under water. Here's some raw high definition footage of what it looked like where I live.

This is a quick prototype of one of the fictional spaceships from earlier sketches.

Voor deze opdracht is het de bedoeling dat we een speelgoed object maken bestaande uit planken en een spanband.
Om de eerste prototypes te maken, heb ik gewerkt met gerecycleerd materiaal. Stevige stukken karton gemaakt uit drie diepvriespizza-dozen op elkaar geplakt, en uitgesneden in vierkantjes.
De eerste prototypes waren een aantal stoeltjes, kastjes, ne zandbak, een leuk zeshoekig ding dat rolt en ingeduwt kan worden, en ook als kastje en tafeltje gebruikt kan worden met nog een plank erbij, en nog een tafeltje dat ook als kastje en guillotine-tentje kan dienen.

The 3d print arrived! Here are some pictures of the figurine, which has a height of about 17cm by the way:
You can order your own copy of this print over at Shapeways now, http://www.shapeways.com/model/164604/figurine__hana___17cm_.html.

Coloring test on Shapeways' White Strong & Flexible 3D printing material, using Winsor & Newton watercolors and Letraset ProMarkers. With watercolors it is possible to make soft gradients between colors, as well as sharp edges. Markers blend slightly, giving softer edges, and can be used to make gradients as well, similar to how they react on paper. Watercolors can be washed out of the printed object almost entirely using water, marker colors don't change at all under water.

Here's the video where I fail to break the thing in two by hand, and therefore resort to a hammer. Spoiler: the printed thing does not survive. Printed by Shapeways in the material they call Full Color Sandstone. The color is printed 1mm deep, and at 3mm thickness it's quite strong enough for normal handling.

Alright, time for some more useful blog posts again. I went to the exhibition at IF a few days ago, and to some readings they did there this week.
On the first floor of the Budascoop, timelab was demonstrating some of the open hardware projects in 3D printing, including the MakerBot and a RepRap modified by Unfold to print in clay. Here's some HD footage.
Unfold's modified RepRap and some of the object's printed by it:
A picture of one of the MakerBots:
Some parts printed on the MakerBot in different colors of ABS, which you can buy from the MakerBot website.
The open source miniCNC developed by timelab.
Oh yes, and this is what the MakerBot was printing in the video, about 24 minutes were spent by the machine on making this thing.
Later this week, I'll also visit Interieur 2010 here in Kortrijk, so expect more pictures from that expo as well.
