ONGOING PROJECTS AND FUTURE POSSIBILITIES
An (incomplete) list of projects that I am currently working on and things that I'd love to work on in the future...
Clay 3D printer
Status: 🟢 Ongoing
Overview
I’ve developed a strong interest in the art of clay printing, and am currently converting my Anycubic Vyper into a clay printer.
The system will use compressed air for clay delivery and a stepper-driven screw for controlled clay extrusion.
I’m fascinated by the beautiful patterns that others have made:
Also, clay is reusable and eco-friendly.
3D printed shoes
Status: 🔵 Concept
Overview
Imagine being able to create your own custom-fitted shoes. While an SLS printer is best suited for this, it is possible using FDM technology.
My favorite 3D printed shoe design is the Cryptide sneaker:
Glass 3D printer
Status: 🔵 Concept
Overview
This is a big dream of mine. Glass is cheap, recyclable, and eco-friendly. There are however a lot of issues due to the high temperatures that are needed to process glass. And while glass printers exist, they aren’t very affordable.
Power usage is also high. Maybe using HHO gas instead of direct electric power would increase operating efficiency.
Otherwise, there’s also a lot of science and testing involved. Someone has to do it.
The results of glass printing:
